It's been a long time......

Emily is in town for a week. It has been 2yrs since she was in town last! So, a handful of girls got together at Sufficient Grounds last night to catch up. I know these girls from River Market Church we were a part of a few years ago. It was soooo good to sit and visit with them. I almost forgot how much I enjoy doing these type of outings!!! Why do I let so much time pass without doing this! I felt very refreshed when I left and it was just a simple outing, nothing extravagant. So, I want to make it a point to initiate more get togethers without my children. It was really good to see Emily. She has the best laugh!!! I miss it. Thanks Emily for making time to come see all of your LR/NLR friends, it has been wonderful. Good friends are such a blessing.

Eli

With all the excitement of Lucy's arrival I have been asked how Eli has been doing. Well, starting the week before Lucy got here he has had quite the special treatment! The pictures below are in no particular order. He had his Gramma Gari here for a little over a week. And of course my mom, Nana Patti, was here quite a bit. Along with many other family members and friends that came by to visit. There was lots of laughing, jumping on beds, movie watching, water playing and of course fits here and there :) You can't have all that spoiling going on with a 1 1/2 yr old and avoid fits........come to think of it, you can't avoid them no matter what! Since Lucy has arrived he hasn't really given her much thought. It's almost as if she has always been here. He will look into her basinet and tell us "seepin" or if he sees her booties or burp cloth he will bring it to her. Otherwise he continues on like normal. For instance, he likes to jump on me occasionally and has no problem doing that whether I am holding her or not !:) It doesn't appear to be him acting out towards her, just going on with the usual. Okay, I need to get back to my babies. Till next time!Movie watching

So, I really don't have any story to blog about, just some pictures to share. I found 2 dresses that were mine as a baby that fit Lucy. It is the yellow dress and red dress. They were made by my grandmother.

Pictures!

Lucy is here!!!!

Well, Lucy arrived about 2:46pm, Thursday, July 12th. She weighed 7lbs 6oz. And of course we think she is just beautiful. We are currently hanging out in our hospital room. thankfully i have a husband that is savvy with computers and so we are able to be online wireless :) i will work on some more pictures when we get home, but until then my sweet husband has posted a blog complete with pictures. you can find his link to the right (Nathan) So far we are all doing very well.
