my lucy > we've moved - but we still go back

We loved and still love Athen Downs Park.  And I still can't get over how much she is growing.

my lucy > this was a pretty awesome day

 

If you can't tell - I took a lot of photos this day.

move me > her eyes sing

A little trim of the bangs made this song so much more darling.  Happy Birthday Yia Yia! We love You So...

in the moment > clean sheets

It's been awhile...I know.  Kind of crazy how quickly she grows.

my lucy > no time better than now

replay > pharrell williams

A little late in the game to post this 2013 "summer hit".  But I couldn't resist after it was sent to me this morning...Immediately setting off a dance party at 7 am.  This song may have been overplayed, but when needed... it sure does the trick!

xo - thanks mom

Also, please hold tight on our posts. We unfortunately have received news that we need to be out of our lovely home within 45 days.  Between the overwhelming stress of it all, work, and life...I am trying to get rest when I can. I promise to post when the time is available :)

in the moment > wood working 101

Thanks for the free lesson Papouli...

in the moment > rabbit taxi

my lucy > newest mascot

  

We love cheering on our neighbor, Angelo at his lacrosse games.  Word is - Lucy is already a big hit...possible mascot for the team...? 

my lucy > rolling up the sleeping bag

in the moment > ipad cartoons... in her new spot

I know, I know... another photo of her watching tv...I swear, we don't do this all day.  Notice anything different? Our new couch?! Finally.  The last one had a good 18 years (only 6 years I can attest to)...

I love our new couch.  And so does Lucy :)

in the moment > froggie

my lucy > seeing stripes

my lucy > her morning cartoons...

Some mornings she zones out, and some mornings she wants to cuddle.  While other mornings, she is in love with her cartoons.  Besides the short break we had this week of beautiful sunshine...we are back indoors watching more cartoons than we'd like too.  Oh well, more time to snuggle up too!

...please excuse my dirty windows! I swear it's because of the rain!

my lucy > my snow queen

replay > lake street dive

Oooo...Louie Likey!

After leaving Freezing Wisconsin and now being in beautiful California...this song and video are perfect for today! We have officially moved our days to outside - shoes off - doors and windows open - and lots of sunshine! I will be playing this band on loud so we can hear it (and dance to it)... outside!

Enjoy!

in the moment > 10 apples up on top

my lucy > first mark on her growth chart

It goes without saying:  Dad (Papouli), we couldn't be more grateful for your handiwork...and for the Love you put into it. This was done December 6th...the next mark will be awhile. Two months have passed, and she hasn't got any taller!

thru her eyes > "cheeeese"

 

I spend a lot of time these days deleting pics from my phone. Lucy gets on quite the rampage with running around the house saying "cheeeese".  Most shots are giant blurs, black (because her fingers are covering), or of her forehead when she has the lens switched around.  Regardless, I'm impressed that she gets the concept.  I love her.

holiday > happy valentine's day

A Valentine from the past...To me, this day is just a reason to get creative or try a new project.  Hope you get a chance to show your love to the light of your life on this very day :)

in the moment > a good day for offering a cookie to a friend - and giving a squeeze

Lucy is not into sharing right now...but she insists that Violet have a cookie.  I die every time Lucy puts her arm around her and babbles on.  A huge Thanks to daddy for capturing this!

my lucy > after the rain

 After multiple days of straight rain - we headed to the park the minute it stopped.  She was in heaven.  Maybe it was the park, or maybe it was the boots she insisted on wearing.  Preparing for a cold WI visit...

in the moment > home from the park

She just kills me.  First, she wanted to go to the park with daddy wearing a hat just like him.  Then on their way to the house I could hear her from inside talking about.. well everything.  Last, I got to see all the videos of my fearless little girl conquer the playground.  She completely rocks my world.

my lucy > all rested

 

 

my lucy > my daydream

in the moment > choo choo!

in the moment > alone in the bounce house

Cold winds = indoor play.  Who woulda guessed there would be an indoor bounce house lit with black lights?! Time to rave.

my lucy > cooking for violet

 

in the moment > nighttime muppets with daddy
