New/Temporary House

Here is Jud taking Lucy into our summer/fall rental. It's a really cute place and they are still renovating the kitchen so we'll take more pics once we are moved in in a few weeks.

Boat Ride!

We had a great Memorial Day weekend with pool visits, picnics and boat rides! Here we are on Dave and Michele's boat. Lucy was quite tuckered out by the end after a ride and lunch at Cantler's. She was calling Michele "baba" so we have crowned Michele "Baba dos"! Thanks everyone for a great weekend. And in other news, we will be moving to a rental townhouse in Old Town Alexandria by the end of June. We are going to have a busy month packing, storing and moving.....get ready to be called on or have Lucy dropped at your house!!

Who Needs Pants?

Preston is getting the hang of potty training and Lucy decided she wanted to try a bit on the potty too (she sat on it saying pee-pee, pee-pee but did nothing, FYI). A dinner party with these two and Charlie was no picnic! We are going to have to have several referees during the week at the beach house with 6 kids under age 2!!

Picnic at Granny Judi's

We had a fun and quick trip to Hershey to see the grandparents and Katie and the boys. Their house is pretty empty so we gathered around Sesame Street with takeout pizza and subs for dinner.

House-May 15

Here was our house on May 15th. We now have stairs, a second story and a roof! More pics to follow.

Good News!

We closed on our house today!! We are up at Judi's for a few days and will return and post pics of our new house which will be under roof by the end of the week. Woo hoo!

Pap Visit

We had a fun visit! Lucy hates posing for pictures at this age, hard to capture her!

Bye Mama

This typifies what happens after Lucy has her nap. We go outside to play and she runs away from me. Into the street. Into the big kids playground, to the backyard from the front, down the street. It doesn't matter really, she just wants to get away from wherever I'd like her to be for at least 5 minutes. And she says, "bye" as she's taking off. As a result, outside time tends to be limited BC I get tired of chasing her. I can't wait for our new fenced in backyard so I can keep her in my domain!

Lame Poster

Sorry for the lack of posts--we have just been watching the building of our new house, enjoying many visitors and getting our house ready to sell. Oh, and my allergies have been terrible and it's been all I can do to deal with a willful child all day, make dinner and I'm usually in bed by 9 pm! I will come up with some interesting Lucy tales and pics shortly!

Lucy's Peeps

I don't have many new pics so I spent a bit of time making this family and friends collage for our fridge. Lucy loves looking at pictures on there so I printed this out and wrote everyone's names on there so she can look at it and learn everyone's names (especially those she does not see often enough!). And BTW if you are not on here (PAP Sheriff, Stacey B., Jen, Bryan, Bets, etc.) it's because I need some pics to add in (so send them on). We love all our peeps!
