6 months old!

Chris, Mark, Lucy and new baby Tessa


Sorry I've been so long in updating the blog! Lots of you have been asking me to put up some recent pictures of Lucy, so here they are. Lucy will be 6 months old on Saturday, and we are excited to start giving her some "solid" foods...really more like mushy, runny foods! We'll give her some rice cereal Saturday and see how that goes. We're excited! Sadly, at 6 months, she graduates from our Thursday afternoon mom's group, so we'll miss going to that. But we've made good friends there, and will continue seeing our mom/baby friends at our new playgroup. This past Monday night, we had a girl's night out without the babies! We met after work for a happy hour downtown and then went to see Sex and the City. It was a lot of fun. But I have a lot of ideas for fun activities now that the weekly mom's group is over. I want to do swim lessons with Lucy, go to the library for story time and go back to gymboree. So we'll be doing lots of fun stuff.



Other exciting news is that Lucy's cousin Tessa was born at 8:08 a.m. on Friday, May 23rd. She is a beautiful, healthy little girl and Mark, Lisa and her are all doing great! It was fun to get to meet her when she wasn't even a day old!



Most of you know that sadly, Chris' mom passed away Tuesday, May 20th. We were down there with family until Monday May 26th. There was a beautiful get-together of family & friends to celebrate her life on that Saturday, and Sunday, we went to Bodega Bay to one of her favorite beaches and scattered her ashes there. She will be missed tremendously. She was an amazing mother, wife, sister and was loved by many friends as well.
