Happy Birthday Lucy!

 It was a whirlwind of a birthday party, but a pretty important one!

 Sigh.  I can't believe I don't have a one-yr-old anymore. 

 But this little girl sure looked cute in her pink today - and she LOVED being the center of attention.

 She'd been eyeing her wrapped present for a few weeks, and would look at it and say "My birthday". 

 Well the day is finally here, Lucy!  You're the cutest two year old we know!

 You and Caroline had a ball with your cousins.

 And with your Papa, too!

 Your favorite time - was PESENTS!...said with no "r"

 I had to capture this shot - because your tights kept creeping down and showing your diaper.  We eventually gave up and just let your legs hang out!

 A new ladybug backpack for our Lucy bug!

 And an Elmo who sleeps with you every night!

 What a fun day - time for the cake!

 You had help, but you knew just what to do!

 Dive right in, girl!

It was a great day for our great little girl!  When Caroline and I woke Lucy the next day- her real birthday- we sang to her.  Lucy jumped up in her bed and said "Pesents!".  I guess she had a good time!  Happy, Happy, Happy Birthday sweet Little Lucy Bug.  You are loved like no other.

Helping Mommy clean....

 Um, yeah...

 This is what happens when Mommy tries to clean under the couch cushions!

 I'm not getting much accomplished, but at least they're having a good time!

Sigh.  I guess the house will get cleaned.  Tomorrow.  Or next week.  Maybe.

It's Waffle Day!

 And I think our youngest is now a budding dramatist.... 

 Wonder where she learned that?

What a goof!  The waffles were quite yummy - Daddy rocks!

Fun day in the neighborhood!

 We went out for a brisk stroll in the 40 degree temps and sunshine the other day - just in time to see the cement crane folding up and packing it in for the day!

 Mesmerizing!

 I must say, it was pretty cool! 

 Lots of  "oohs" and "aahhs", and "Daddy gonna love this!" 

What can I say?  I'm the coolest mom on the block!
