And We're off.... It's the Holiday Season

Yay. It's the holiday season! So far Lucy is awash in 1sts. She rode the carousel at Piedmont Park on the opening day of Season of Magic. Aunt Audrey was the operator, so it was a fun family affair and she got the whole carousel to herself thanks to awesome timing. She also got to take her 1st horse drawn carriage ride through the Park. She slept through the whole thing, but who can blame her, she was pretty exhausted after all the excitement.

Then... We went to Alabama for Thanksgiving! You guessed it, Lucy's 1st. We celebrated cousin Molly's 2nd birthday, chilled with cousin Charlotte, and generally had a nice relaxing time with all the relatives. Lulu even rode along for this year's morning 5k.
Next on the list: Decorating the house for Christmas in a baby friendly way.

Exciting Stuff

love and happy holidays to all

Lucy's 1'st Halloween. She was a treasure troll- hence the fluffy hair and gem on belly. 100% hand crafted!! We gave out candy to people who didn't understand what she was, but she had a great time at the Halloween Party. There she was pretty famous.
Showing off the pumpkin that she helped carve and even took a bite out of. That's my girl. Notice that the eyes are her hands.
Watching Daddy Play Music at the park.
With Auntie Ruth at 'Uncle' Shaan's Defense- Dr. Uncle Shaan that is :)



How do habitual bloggers keep up? Life is happening so fast the opportunity to slow down and write about it seems not to exist. Fall has happened. It's practically winter. Waking up to freezing temperatures this morning brought that into focus. So, I'm behind schedule. I intend to keep this updated. Yes, the road to hell is paved with good intentions. Lucy will get to piece together her first year with my ramshackle blog posts and annotated bits of notes on nursery school reports and other assortments of paper. That girl requires 110% of my attention. I have to be on alert and ready for her to throw me a curve ball. She's still breastfeeding- but now she seems to want to work out while eating. She pumps her legs and arms a la Jane Fonda. What can I say? The girl is into fitness. She comes by it honestly. Maybe she'll run like Mama some day. Hopefully she waits a little longer before she starts.

The pictures span the months. Lots of exciting stuff.
