Lucy went to a field of flowers near our house for her one year portrait session. We’ll have lots more pics to share tomorrow.

Lucy | First Birthday

After she ate her cake, I got a chance to read to Lucy and her friend.

Lucy got lots of great gifts, but her favorite so far has been a chair that Grandparents Jan and Don got for her. She plays in it everyday. Today we took it to the park and she played in it for almost two hours.

Granma - What a happy day! I loved watching Lucy eat her cake and play with other kids and enjoy herself! Happy birthday, granddaughter–you are loved!!

Jessica - Ugh. Uterus hurting again….

Connie Reams Lauterbach - Lucy, Grandpa and I love to watch you play and sit in your beautiful new chair.
What a nice Birthday Party you had. You have so many people that love you.

Big Bear Vacation

We spent three days up at Big Bear this week with some good friends and their son, Henry. On Wednesday, we drove out to find some snow for Lucy and Henry to play in.

Then we took a walk along the shore of Big Bear Lake. What a beautiful afternoon! I love this portrait of Lola, the extraordinarily patient dog. Lucy and Henry crawled over her all weekend, so she definitely deserved a little romp in the lake.

Lucy spent much of the time in the cabin crawling up to the cabin’s second story. Each time that she made it to the top, she burst into applause and smiled. Here she is just about to get up that top step and crawl towards her bath.

Unfortunately, Lucy got an ear infection on the trip (and Amy and I caught little colds as well). St. Patty’s day has been a “relax around the house and try to get better” day. We’re really relishing Lucy’s willingness to cuddle up and read with us.
