…we have a new one in our family.
During Family Home Evening, while bathed in the glow of light coming from the kitchen window and surrounded by a crowd of cheerleaders, Lucy decided it was time to start swimming.
Thailand is so filled up with beauty and goodness it’s hard to narrow down what to do. This is what we did with our five days in Thailand.
As Lucy’s family, we are committed to doing all we can to save the vision in these pretty baby blues: Going to the Marshfield Clinic last month (back here) jump-started…
Note to self: Doctor appointments with this girl are not fun.Oh wait, I already knew that. I just thought that maybe she’d grown out of the screaming-while-the-doctor-is-trying-to-tell-you-super-important-stuff thing. I was…
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…
A couple weeks ago Lu and I paid a visit to the eye doctor. I watched that girl interact with the amazing dr. assistant who was initializing the visit and…

This is adorable! Lucy is so brave to do that. Congrats Lucy! You will never be stopped now.

yay! I bet that makes you feel so much better to have them all swimming now. LOVE how encouraging the other kiddos are with her 🙂
Hip Hip HOORAY!
shawnie,
I was wondering if you could point me to the site where your video is again? My brother is going through a hard time and I wanted him to watch some of those videos because I think they are inspiring. In fact, if you know of one in particular to point out for me, that would be great! He is going through a very rough divorce that he doesn't even want and 4 children in the mix and so much more…are there any of the videos that you think would be inspiring to him?! thanks so much!

ok. I'm going to cry. This is just all so sweet. Her family all gathered around her, SO excited and cheering her on. Her steady, calm Father in the background "head in the water", her confident self after emerging from the water she just dominated. It's all so, so awesomely wonderful.
I love this video. I love how much love it was there surrounding her.
S, I have been reading a book that is nothing short of spectacular. And, I thought I'd suggest it to you. I have read many of the ones you cite on here and thought that I should suggest this great book.
It's an academic book, but so thought provoking…
Here is the Amazon link to it. My local library has it and I imagine yours might too. Worth every penny.

Hooray Lucy! We are so excited for her!!!
This is Madison Whitlock. Lucy is sooo cute! I loved how all of her siblings were there cheering her on.
