Lucy is busy. She’s in the crawl-into-the-dishwasher- empty-all-the-trashcans-wrestle-against a diaper change-as-if-your-life-depends-on-it climb-up-huge-stairs-and-not-know-how-to-get-back-down stage. She’s also growing a little feisty. And I’m in love even more with that humongous smile. those…
TOMORROW is Lucy’s 16th birthday. How can it even be possible that this little bundle was born SIXTEEN YEARS AGO?? She was a spitfire from the very start. And oh…
When I was a teenager sometimes my dad would hold down the fort at home while my mom took a day to go write. All alone. They were (are) authors…
Lucy’s not taking steps anymore. She did so great one day, then tried to build a tower with soup cans the next and one of the cans fell smack dab…
I just had to post my new favorite picture of Lucy. I am so in love with this baby…Dave looks at me like I’m wacky sometimes because I can’t stop…
soooo sweet!
I love hearing her voice! She's such a cutie. My favorite line: "Hello, Auroras."
Oh, I love this! My kids have all grown out of the stage where they make their toys talk. You are so smart to record Lucy! I wish I would have done that.
When Sariah was little, she could turn any object into a dramatic plaything. The salt and pepper shakers at the dinner table, toothbrushes in the bathroom, rocks in the garden–they were all something else with a voice.
My favorite things to watch her play with were her jam jars. Someone gave us a box of several dozen sample-size jars of jam, and Sariah loved those. We never ate them, because she had so much fun playing with them. At any given time, the jam jars could be a village, a large family, royalty at a bar, or monkeys in a a jungle. It was hilarious to hear her voicing all the different parts in her little plays. I miss that, so much!
OMGosh, as if I didn't think she was adorable enough from her pictures – that sweet little voice just won me over!! And I was going to say the same thing Missy said – I LOVED "Hello Auroras!!" 🙂
Love this!
oh what a sweetie pie. I loved the line " whats your name? Aurora, oohh i like those names" LOL And Hello Auroras!!! How stinking cute!
I'm an avid follower but I don't think I've ever commented. I must say, this is absolutely adorable. My favorite part is when Snow White & Jasmine are introduced to each other. You're so blessed to have such a character 🙂 Thanks for sharing & bringing a smile to a stranger's face!
Well, THAT just made my day!
She is so sweet!
Holy cow I loved this!!! Every mother out there can relate with this little chit chat that occurs and is so classic. She is adorable!!!
"Hello, Auroras!" So stinkin' cute! Thanks for sharing!
I love seeing Lucy in action, especially since I've read so much about her on her blog. You should post more videos of your kids on your blog!
Your paralyzed friend,
Heather
She has the sweetest voice ever!! Thanks for sharing! xoxo!
I love your blog! I read it everyday, and it brighten my world. I saw you and your mother speak at Time Out for Women in OKC. Just loved it. Thank you!
a.dor.able!! that will keep me smiling today!!
jen 🙂
Best line- "I was worried about you"!
So super cute!
Oh man I am excited to get Elsie and Lucy together this summer! Elsie already has her trick-or-treat pumpkin all packed with talking dolls.
Sooo cute. Love that Lucy!
Oh my heck I loved this! I miss that stage of my kids so much! Thanks for posting this. 🙂
"I was worried about you." "I like those names." Precious quotes from your precious baby girl! Oh I love this!
That's cute.
Lucy is sooo cute! I just want to squeeze her chubby little cheecks! I love your blog sis.pothier!
That has made my day! So cute!
That is the cutest thing ever! It is so nice to put a voice with a face we see all the time. I love to "overhear" my kids playing "make believe". It's funny to see where their head is at. 🙂 Same thing with Max's piano. It is so cute to actually see that shy smile at the end!
After seeing so many pictures of her it is so nice to put a voice to the face. She is so adorable. (And her cheeks are so pinchable.)
So I know you've already talked about how your family doesn't really watch tv, but with her being a bit younger than the others and home while they are gone at school all day, what does she do? Does she just play all day or does she watch even a little tv?
"and my name is snow white!"
what a precious little moment captured!
Oh man, that is so cute! I'm laughing my head off though cos it could have been taken at my own kitchen counter. Our daughters are about the same age and obviously like doing the same kind of things
That girl is so stinkin' cute! I love hearing her voice. And… "I like those names!" So precious.
This is so sweet!! What camera do you use to video? The picture is so clear 🙂
This is adorable! I love your blog! I love reading about sweet lucy as well as your other children. My famiy is friends with Christy and James Jarvis and their family. I can't remember if that is how I heard about your blog but I have been reading it for a while and thought I should introduce myself. I also just started a blog and would be honored if you stopped by.

Laugh out loud that was the sweetest 2 minute video I have EVER seen. What an imagination!!! She is adorable!
Love, love, love this child! Today, I especially love the "nekkid" little girl body complete with bows in her hair!!
Love this video! So very sweet! I LOVE Lucy! Such a sweet voice for a sweet girl.
Soooo precious. What a treat to have it on tape. Love that girl!
Tooo cute. I wonder if the no shirt thing is the age or the summer – my Niece won't keep her shirt on for anything lately.
Sooooooooo sweet!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Really!!!!!!! 🙂 🙂 🙂
Oh my goodness she's adorable! I miss her!!! Can't she just come swimming with me for FUN sometime? 🙂
You know, usually I don’t even hit the play button on a video (facebook or blogs) if it’s more than 32 seconds (hey, just being honest) …or I’ll watch it but only about the same amount of time. I watched the whole video…and felt like you left me hanging. Did she know she was being taped? LOVED it! And I just saw the picture you posted of her a few days ago with her dad, she is such a doll, sign me up for one Lucy please!
She is SO cute!!! What a sweet voice she has…:)
Hey Shawni,
I haven't seen you in a year. Just wanted to comment and let you know I've spent some time catching up on your blog this morning.
Miss you-
Stephanie
Precious! Why can't they stay this age forever?
Shawni, if that is video you are taking with your new camera, you make me want to run out and buy one today! So sharp and beautiful and UN-video camera like!
Oh my gosh that is adorable! Specially loved the "I was worried about you!" Can't wait to get my hands on that girl!
That was the most ADORABLE thing I have ever seen!!! "Oh, I was worried about you!" (This was my favorite part!!)
awesome.
