Well, it has been a busy couple of months, to say the least. We rung in the New Year with a party. Marc's Dad and Linda came down for the festivities from Idaho, and it was so nice to see them. Linda is cancer free and we are so happy about that! Grandma TuTu, Marc's Mom, left just after the new year and we were sad to see her go. Lucy had such a great time with her and continues to talk about TuTu. Actually, she talks about all kinds of people! Auntie Katie, Grammie Pam and Grampie Dave, Grandpappy Bobby, Cousin Mason, Rose, Robin and Evan...it is fun to see her learning who the people in her life are, and that she is thinking about them when they are not there.
My Grandpa Si died in mid January. He was 97 years old, and ready to reunite on the other side with my Grandma Esther, but it is hard to realize that they are both gone. Time keeps on going, and doesn't stop. Grandpa Si was always right there to help when you needed it, loyal and loving, and always making sure you had enough to eat. Lucy and I traveled down for his funeral. It was nice to see everybody. A few days after getting back to Oregon, my Mom and Dad came up to celebrate Lucy's 2nd birthday! We had a pizza party with lots of friends. I know that Lucy had a great time. :) It is so hard to believe that she is 2. I feel like I have so much to get written down about my pregnancy with her and her birth. Those memories have not faded, but I fear that they will. She is such a special person and we are so blessed to have been entrusted with her care.
Lately we have been enjoying getting to hear Lucy sing. She sings the ABC's to a point...ABCD and then from there it is all made up, and eventually she sings something that sounds like the ending. She also sings "No more monkeys jumping on the bed!" She still loves to read books, do artwork and have dance parties. She will ask for dance parties by name, and her and I rock out to music. Yesterday she was paying close attention to my footwork and trying to figure out what I was doing. If you see her dancing, well, you have me to blame for any silly moves! :) If she has pockets in her clothing she loves to put her hands in them. She says 'Oooohhh" when she sees something that she really likes. She no longer is content to ride in a stroller, so she has been going on walks with us, up to 2 1/2 miles (with a little carrying)! She knows that I am a nurse who works with kids that are sick. I'm sure that she doesn't really know what that means, and she even gave me a hard time when I went to work on Friday. I hope that she doesn't hold it against me! She still is a great eater! We love her so much and are so lucky to have her in our lives! Thanks for checking in!
