Our Big Girl

Best Friends - Audrey and Lucy
Happy 2nd Birthday, Audrey!
Lucy gets all dressed up for Audrey's party.

Having fun at the park with Daddy


She is getting so big!!
Our little baby girl is turning into a BIG girl. She is so much fun - we enjoy every day with her. Here are some fun things that she has been doing:
**Lucy knows all her letters and numbers from 1-12. She knows her colors and all her shapes (including octagon and pentagon).
**She has 12 teeth (those molars were tough coming in)
**She has started drinking from a big girl cup - and always wants "chocolate milk!!!"
**She has had 3 successful stops on the potty. Tonight she was so excited after she tinkled on her potty.
**She has numerous books memorized and sometimes we'll come into the room and she will be "reading" a book out loud to herself.
**She loves to dance and sing. Every night she will say "sing song" and after we sing a few will ask, "sing one more song, -k?"
We can hardly believe that she is almost 2! Our hearts are already breaking!!!

  1. Love you Lori and God loves you so much more! Keep looking for HIS face and HE will show you the path. It is so hard to remember that our God is preparing so much for us BEHIND the scenes and we need to trust HIM. He has all of our dreams, tears, and heart desires on His heart and hands. He will reveal it all and when He does you will say, "Who would have thought....." I love that because Sarah said that about giving birth to a son later in life.....who would have thought I would give birth to a son later on in life. We can mess with His plans, but they are never perfect when we put our hands in the work. I love you....Kim

  2. what?!? your heart shouldn't be breaking, silly Lori-- it should be rejoicing!!

    - you have made it well past those super challenging first months...
    - you have survived crazy illnesses that pop up right when you have great travel plans
    - you have gracefully transitioned from 2 naps to 1 (remember when you thought YOU would never survive with having only 1 break a day?!?)...

    you have a beautiful, intelligent, calm-natured daughter who is learning more and more every day about how wonderful God is and how she fits so perfectly into His plan for the world!
    nope, no hearts to be broken around here--- just hearts that are getting more and more filled with amazing joy! we love you guys...
