Happy Thanksgiving!

Hope everyone had a wonderful thanksgiving! Even though both Joel and I caught serious head colds the day before Thanksgiving, we still had a wonderful time over at our friend's the Ryan's house. We ate lots of food, Lucy was the life of the party, we laughed and played games, it was a blast!

Here's another shot of the amazing snowfall we had on Thanksgiving day.


And here is Lucy all dressed up to go to the party.


Lucy bouncing on the table with mama and Becca.



She really was having a fun time, as witnessed by this photo:

We are so blessed and thankful to have such wonderful family and friends!

Let it Snow!

Well, here in Moscow we've had our official first snow, and it was a big one! I think we measured 7 inches outside our door. You'll have to forgive the quality of the picture, but since it's 4 degrees outside I opted for taking the picture from inside our house.



Since Joel has had to take my car (the one with 4-wheel drive and snow tires) to work, Lucy and I have been fairly house-bound the last two days. But that doesn't matter, we're all smiles around here these days!







P.S. Lucy would especially like to thank Auntie Kate for her musical giraffe. She spends a good bit of her wake-time staring at it and listening to its lilting lullaby. Thank you!

In Which Lucy Talks to her Posterboard

Lucy loves to sit on her changing table after she's been fed and stare at the poster I made for her. Recently she has also taken to chatting with it.

Lucy's Baptism

Today Lucy is one month old, and yesterday she was baptized! Here are two pictures we got before church, I'll post the video of the actual baptism when it's ready. Lucy was on the verge of a melt-down during these pictures, thus the somewhat glazed expression. :)




Welcome to the covenant community little girl!

Saturdays with Lucy

Since several relatives have requested more pictures of Lucy, I took a few photos of a typical Saturday with Lucy.

First, there is sleeping.



In case you're wondering what adorable outfit she's wearing, here it is. It's from Old Navy and is extremely comfy, I love the fabric!



Then there's our trip to the grocery store. She's about as excited as can be to do our weekly shopping.



And last we have boppy time, in which she familiarizes herself with the world and strikes adorable poses.



I promise I didn't position her like that. Or like this:



And that's about it! A fairly routine day in the life of Lucy.

Pretty Blue Eyes

I'll admit it. I spend a lot of time staring into Lucy's big blue eyes. How can I help it when they're so pretty?


I think Lucy was explaining something very important to me when this picture was taken.


I love my baby!
