in the moment > chocolate chocolate chip cookies...

Mom (after washing lucy up): "Lucy, did you get into the cookie dough again"?

Lucy (chocolate covering her face with an attempted wipe): "Nooo..."

I'm pretty sure she will get her batter fix this Christmas.

my theo > my snow bunny

It's just not the same.  Searching for a Christmas Tree with no hand saw.  No over-sized winter coat.  No brother [tommy].  And definitely with no snow.  Theo made up for that...just looking at him while we watched daddy put up the outdoor lights, made it feel like we were in a winter wonderland.

replay > johnny cash > hurt

..."Nastrovia"

outing > family tree hunt

my theo > his many faces

I'm a bit behind on posts (sorry)...I swear it's the excuse "i just had a baby".  Once again I will be doubling up on blog/Instagram posts.

in the moment > jello jigglers was a pretty big deal

 

Over a month later, and she is still talking about it...

replay > alabama shakes > this feeling

I need this song - this feeling - at 3:20 in the mornings after long nights...and the start of a long mornings.

Lucy at 5:15 am: "Mom I can't sleep because of the baby..." (Up a little too early....)
Lucy at 6:45 am: "Mom, Dad Look! The Sun is Out!"

Yes it is Lucy, yes it is.... Today is a New Day.
May this song bring peace to the start of your day....

my theo > hello world, my name is theo

in the moment > ghost girl

She's chosen to be called a number of things during the halloween week...

(Bat-girl Ballerina, Owlette, Ghost Girl, ... The Joker... all on top of her regular > Baby, Elsa, Mommy, the Teacher, the Patient, the Doctor, etc.)

It gets a bit confusing.

family > today is our last day as a family of 3...

my lucy > purple & green are her favorite colors

"Why So Serious???" - the joker.

Happy Halloween!!

my lucy > joan's farm & pumpkin patch 2015

3 years in the making. 

my lucy > and me...and my last days with a belly

in the moment > the calm before the daily sandstorm...

my lucy > another sunset

Baby's due date has gone and passed.  Every day since feels like forever....we are just waiting......

in the moment > shhh...the baby is sleeping

This is what a baby looks like sleeping in the park.  (...a pretend baby).

current obsession > t is for tornado

I finally pulled out some real reading material.  To my surprise, Lucy loves it.  We have been reading at night, taking breaks and picking up the following day.  I wasn't sure Lucy would remember or anticipate whats to happen next - but she does :)    Bonus: The letter of the week in preschool is T.  T is for Tornado.  We've been kind of obsessed.

my lucy > morning snuggles

I'm a bit sluggish these days - so I'll take the morning snuggles....

my lucy > icee's & silly faces at the air show

 

 

We've been together a lot lately - at least it seems like that for the last 3 years... The past two weekends have been fun - Car Show then Air Show.  What else would 2 girls do?!  [I'm not sure she even looked up at the sky this time...] We definitely need a little boy in our life!

current obsession > i scream for ice cream

I'm pretty sure we have had ice cream everyday for the past 3 weeks (or popcorn of sorts)...I'm pretty sure we will continue for the next 4....
