Lucy is 22 pounds, 10 ounces (that’s 75th % for those of you following along). She is 30 inches tall, also 75th %. She received Dr. Ernster’s favorite and highest complement to her health: “Lucy is just Thriving.”
She got 4 shots, covering everything from mmr to flu to the kitchen sink.
And we talked about New Orleans pretty much the whole visit.
I usually have my morning coffee as soon as I can after I wake up.
On school mornings, that coffee is necessary, reliable and not very memorable.
When I get back from dropping O. at school, I usually have time to appreciate a second cup. Don’t tell anyone that I microwave it. (One day I’ll get a really great espresso machine – till then…)
This morning I opened the fridge to a surprise present from Sweet Kiera!
A chill is in the November air, the light is streaming through my southern exposure, and I am delaying my computer tasks in the quiet bliss of Lucy’s nap time.
hmmm. still just primer on my door.
hmmm. need to wash those windows.
hmmm. coconut and lemon. mmmmm.
Oscar and Kiera here. Posting some awesome pictures we drew while Madie gave Lucy her bottle.
“The Rainbow of Love” by Oscar.
“The Rainbow of Cake” by Kiera.

We’re missing you, Mark & Vale, but clearly from this picture you can see we’re all still having an awesome time. (He’s just being a ham.)
Up close and personal with the bottle. (Madie’s eye view.)
Signing off! Good-Night!
P.S. – Oscar says, “BRING ME SOME FOOD FROM NEW ORLEANS!”
Mom and Dad are leaving for New Orleans.
We’ll join our friends in celebration of 40th birthdays.
Many photos of pretty Victorians are coming this way soon.
In case of Emergency, you can find me here.
I’m very excited to share our party photos! Many thanks to Kiera for all her planning and baking – we had fun! Read about this on her blog too! – and to Kristi for sending love and supplies from afar. Also to Cole and Madie, for midnight sugar, the gorgeous cherry tree, and for giving Lucy something to eat. Best quote of the day came from Amanda, who grinned and shouted, “I want to live here!” What a compliment! And I can’t believe our little Lucy is One!!
