We will be taking our blog private in the next couple of days.  If you would like to be invited (and I would love to invite you:) please drop me a note with your email address.  Thanks!

Halloween Pics

For her very first Halloween, Lucy was a cute little Moo Cow and her Mommy and Daddy were farmers. We went to the ward Halloween party and did a little trick or treating (like 3 pieces of candy 'cause let's be honest - she's not going to eat it). Lucy and Mommy also went to Daddy's school and walked in the parade. Then on Halloween we handed out candy. It was a lot of fun!

5 Months Already! WOW!

Yes, I understand she's almost 6 months old already and I'm just getting this posted. Sorry! Here are the new skills Lucy acquired by 5 months old: She learned to turn from her back to her belly and then, just a week later, from her belly to her back (she realized that she didn't like being on her belly and hated being stuck until someone decided to turn her back over). She could sit on her own for about a minute before tumbling over on her side. And she had her first meal of something besides breast milk or formula - the ever appetizing baby rice cereal which she absolutely loved. She's been eyeing us as we eat for awhile. Unfortunately she has also quit sleeping through the night - waking up at least once a night to eat. Hopefully as we get more solids in her she will go back to sleeping through the night. We love her so much and it's so much fun to watch her grow and learn.

I am an American

I was so proud to be an American last night as I watched the election coverage.  McCain was gracious and Obama was every bit the man I voted for.  I loved hearing him talk about his plan for the future - how "we can" not how he can.  I think it is amazing how many people have backed him up and how many people have made a difference in his campaign.  It gives me hope for our country - hope that things can turn around and that it's not just the government that's going to do it - it's the people.  I am excited to have him and his family represent us.
