Family Fun

I am absolutely loving all the family fun time we're having/have had in the past month! I love seeing Lucy bonding with her grandparents and aunts and cousins! It's such a huge blessing and the thing I was most looking forward to before we got here. I'm so grateful to our heavenly Father for giving Lucy such a fun and friendly personality!

Here's some pictures from the last few days.

First off, my latest belly shot. This is last week, 23 weeks, after my field trip for my class. 

Our first trip to the Waffle House. YUM. 

We enjoyed some not-as-cheap-as-we'd-like delicious pecan waffles. YUM.

Helping another sister, Meredith, clean out her room before she moves across the world

Mere wasn't feeling so swell, but Mom was all aglow at the mall the other day looking for a coat.

 On Saturday, we went to see my sister Emily for a wedding event. She's getting married this next Saturday - stay tuned for some super cute flower girl pictures!

Not a happy little one right here...but at least she's a cool dude!

Emily's mom and step-dad have a cool loft downtown and a really neat backyard garden. Lucy loved it!

 Here she is! The bride-to-be!

 Sunday night, we had some fun times with Mom, Bill, Mere, Lesley, and Aunt Pat and Uncle Doug. 

LOVING some homemade ice cream!

 The rest of the fam enjoying the peachy, creamy goodness.

 Then we headed outside for some fire pit action.

 (I was super cold.)

 Lucy and Lesley - the birthday buddies.

 Lucy's first SMORES experience. Well, just the marshmallow part. She loved them! And ate 3!

We sat around the fire pit for a couple hours. It was amazing!!!

And we laughed!

And took lots of pictures of Lucy bug!

And Lesley entertained :)

Poor Hairy Black!

Lesley is still Mom's baby girl!

Lots of laughing!

Lucy wanted to ride with Lesley in the blue van.

Pileup!

"Can I come sit with you?" Lucy to Lesley. They've bonded.

Wearing Papa Bill's hats

Bibi let Lucy poke the fire.
(Mommy and Daddy wouldn't let Lucy touch the fire...but of course Bibi lets her!)

Unfortunately, the next morning (Monday morning) Lucy woke up with a fever and had a virus all this week. She was pitiful!

 Yesterday we tried on Lucy's flower girl dress for Aunt Emily's wedding on Saturday. Lucy loves it and said "I'm like an angel!" TOO SWEET.

 We also had our first "Fall" Activity yesterday. Lucy and I painted pumpkins!

 It's her smiley face!

I love family fun time!
