They’re coming!
And Lucy is so ready. (She even brought a friend.)
It’s been a rough few days for weather – cold and rainy – but we’ve also already gotten our first taste of spring, and it can’t come soon enough.
Before Lucy was born, my dad’s best friend gave us this onesie.
(He drew it. Her name is hidden in the picture. Can you spot it?)
Anyway, now, two years and change later, I think he knew something we didn’t, you guys.
Merlin is Lucy’s best friend in the world. He’s just the calmest, sweetest, most gentle giant with her. We are just so delighted. And he is, too. Most of the time.
Well, this was just wonderful. 😊
Winter is still my favorite, even now that I live at the beach these days. I never take snow for granted, generally but especially now, and I thoroughly enjoyed this beautiful evening. (And you bet I sat out on my porch in my pajamas and watched it fall!)
Just one more Halloween post, because Lucy carved her very first pumpkin! Well, her daddy carved it and she watched. But I think it’s safe to say, she was a pretty big fan.
She gave it lots of hugs and said hi to it every time we went out on the porch. SO. CUTE.
Beauty and bravery, tutus and toughness, femininity and fortitude – these things are not mutually exclusive. What Lucy can dream, she can do. And I want her to live in a world where no one can tell her no just because she’s a girl.
…a sunny morning on the sand and also this random candle she found in Nana Meg’s cabinet and carried around for the rest of the day.
The question is…
…is Lucy the spaghetti monster, or does she think the spaghetti is a monster? Further study will be required, I think, to make a final determination.
Y’all…
This beautiful, silly, clever kid. Oh, my heart. 😊
(Also, about ten minutes after this photo was taken, she broke Graham’s phone. LOL.)
Summer around here is watermelon season.
Lucy approves.
…when we do it together.
These two, y’all. I’ve never seen two creatures more determined to be best friends.
