Lucy, lucky girl, usually gets to share her birthday with conference weekend. I tried to name this post “Lucy’s Birthday and Conference Weekend” and it looks like I already have several other posts with that same title. (So I was so clever and switched it up a bit…ha!) I wrote seventeen things I love about…
I wrote about Lucy on her big birthday back HERE, but here’s how it all went down. We have to preface this birthday account with a little surprise to start off the day: How was that for a good surprise? (Abby arrived later in the afternoon too…double the fun.) That was the best birthday present…
Clear back on the first day of October Lucy had a birthday. Birthday number fourteen, to be exact. And while I still cannot believe my baby is that old and I miss that croc-wearing, spit-fire she used to be with all my heart, I am loving even more who she is becoming. I look up…

It’s a big day today. And by the time this posts we will be celebrating it in a pretty cool place (Angkor Wat!). For now, here are her pictures from her school celebration. The girls: The boys: The bearer of “the birthday treat:” She wasn’t duped into how cool it would be to bring fruit…
I’m a little overloaded with Lucy posts lately but boy this girl has had a LOT going on! We figured Lucy’s birthday came at a good time. A perfect time to gather a bunch of kids together to help her get to know them better. The only problem was that we were leaving on her…
