A Visit to Santa’s House

Did you know that Santa lives in Cherokee County, Ga? Well, he does, and this weekend we took Lucy to see him and Mrs. Claus. We were amazed from the moment we drove up and saw the light display in Santa’s yard. It was incredible, and little Miss Lucy didn’t want to leave when it was finally time to head home. We had to coax Lucy to go into Santa’s workshop by telling her there were lights inside. However, she tried to make a run for it when we got to the door, so we had to force her...

Thanksgiving

November 28, 2011 in Family, Holidays, Life, Memories

We had a very nice, low-key Thanksgiving. Joe was selected to be part of the NASA Tweetup for the Mars Rover launch, so he was in Florida over the holiday. I packed up myself and Lucy, and we headed to Tennessee to spend the...

A Letter to my Daughter on her 2nd Birthday

November 21, 2011 in Life, Lucy, Lucy's Milestones, Memories

Dear Lucy, Today you turned 2 and, as excited as I’ve been for your birthday (or, should I say, your birthday party), it also makes me kind of sad to see you turn another year older. You’re no longer a baby. You’re a toddler....

Reminiscing

Last weekend, we headed up to Collegedale for alumni weekend at my alma mater, Southern Adventist University. It was the 50th anniversary of WSMC, the college radio station, which my brothers and I all worked at, and so Joe and I left Lucy with...

Boy, did we have a fun Halloween! I’m sure you won’t be surprised to see what Lucy dressed as. Yep. She was the cutest Tigger EVER. Pretty much everyone we passed oohed and aahed over here, although a few called her a tiger and...

Bouncing Babies

October 11, 2011 in Life, Lucy, Memories

So, our niece (Joe’s sister’s daughter) turned 2 a couple of weeks ago, and we partied it up Barney-style. There were green and purple decorations. There was great food. There were green and purple cupcakes that Lucy *kind* of cared about. What did she...

Princess Firefighter

October 2, 2011 in Lucy, Memories

Our Kiwanis Club’s annual Kiddie Day Parade was held a couple of weeks ago, and we had a great idea for Lucy’s costume — dress her up as a princess and cover her wagon in letters so she could be Princess Presto from Super...

Time to Start Planning for the Big 2

September 4, 2011 in Life, Lucy, Lucy's Milestones, Memories

It’s September, and that means it’s time to starting planning Lucy’s 2nd birthday party. Of course, if you know me, you’d know I’ve already been “planning” but coming up with ideas of things I want to do, but now it’s really time to buckle...

Swimmin’ Machine

July 14, 2011 in Family, Life, Lucy, Memories

Last weekend, we headed to South Carolina to celebrate Nana’s birthday. A 4-hour trip isn’t a lot of fun with an active 19-month-old who doesn’t want to be sitting for said four hours, but we made it. On Saturday, we hung around Nana’s house....
