We're on a BOAT!

We are going cruising! 

 

From Africa for a visit!

Grandpa and Grandma Otten were here for a short visit this past month. Lucy was delighted having these two around and giving her all the attention she needed. She loved dancing for them, loving on them and showing them how big she is getting. It was a busy time for Dave but we managed a few family dinners and Lucy had quite a few bedtimes with grandpa and grandma.

Here is a camera/phone dump of Lucy pictures. She is an incredible, special, wonderful little human. She is particular yet spontaneous. She is strong willed yet loving and sweet. She has compassion and makes me smile everyday. This little girl has an amazing mind. Now I just need to keep up and help her keep learning and growing. We have continued sign language and she loves it and amazing me with her comprehension. I feel blessed to raise Lucy and know she will be my baby forever. 

 

 

 

 

 
 

 

 
 

 

Phoenix 2015

Cousin fun!!

Dave, Lucy and I traveled to Phoenix for a week of sunshine, Spring Training baseball, cousins, family, fun and sports tourneys. The weather was amazing. Sunny and 80 degrees! 

 

Lucy LOVED her cousins and their backyard. Lu called it the park and requested to go play at 6 am. But it was so nice to open the back door and let her go play. The backyard had a swing set, mini trampoline, water table, pool (with a fence), grass, garden veggies and two awesome cousins!

Dave and I went to one baseball game. I guess priorities change with kids. 

 While we were there, the Bemis family found out that a baby BOY(!!!!) would be joining them in July! We are ecstatic to welcome another cousin!

Here are a few pics from the trip. 

Water table fun!
