5 New Posts!

Hi everyone...I haven't updated the blog in awhile, we've had a busy September with my surgery and traveling to see family and for Lauren's wedding. Check out what we've been up to...I posted 5 new posts today with lots of fun pictures and a few videos.

Little Pumpkin, Big World

If you've ever seen the show on TLC called "Little People, Big World" you'll think this post is pretty cool (maybe)!! I watch the show a lot...I tend to like that kind of reality family TV. Anyway, the show is about a family who live here in Oregon, about 20 minutes outside of Portland. The parents, Amy and Matt Roloff are dwarfs and they have 4 kids, one of whom is also a dwarf. The live on a big farm, and they grow pumpkins. Every year, during pumpkin season, they open their farm to the public. I've always wanted to go, so today we went! I thought it might be super crowded, but it wasn't that bad, and the weather held out too! It was a great day. We put Lucy in her Hall-o-ween costume (fittingly, she was a pumpkin), and it was so fun to put her in the little wagon with the pumpkins we chose in her little pumpkin costume!

We took a picture with the mom on the show, Amy Roloff; we also got a shot of their son Jacob with his grandpa (Matt Roloff's dad) hugging him. Their dog Rocky, a boxer who is always on the show, was roaming around the farm today too, so we got to pet him and got a picture with him. We saw Matt Roloff from afar with the camera crew of the show. Check out the link to the show: http://tlc.discovery.com/fansites/lpbw/lpbw.html

Fishies in the ocean, fishies in the sea...

we all go in on 1-2-3!!! This is a song we sing a lot at Lucy's swim class. Here are some fun little videos from her last swim class.

Lauren's wedding

We had a great time at Lauren's wedding. Lauren is a dear friend of mine for over ten years now. We met in college. Her wedding was in Pismo Beach, CA, which is on the central coast of California. I was honored to be her matron of honor. It was great to see so many of my girlfriends from college! I had a blast. I miss all of you so much!

Lucy and her cousins!

Lucy is lucky enough to have 3 beautiful cousins so far...all girls! Phoebe and Emma are her older cousins, age 7 and 5, and are my sister Kristi's girls. Tessa is Lucy's younger cousin who is 4 months old and she is my brother's daughter. Aren't they adorable???

Tessa and Lucy enjoyed story time together before bed with their binkies and wearing their halo sleepsacks. Too cute!

Watch out...Lucy's on the go!!

This past month, Lucy has been on the go, and that means that Chris & I have been on the go chasing after her. She crawls around at lightning speed, and is now pulling herself up on everything! This includes pulling herself up in her crib and standing there wailing when she doesn't want to go to bed!!! I think Chris and I have entered a whole new world with Lucy...and pretty soon she'll be walking! Scary...
