Little Lu Turns Two!

We first started using the quote "We plan...God laughs" when we found out I was pregnant with Lucy.  As you may know, she was our big surprise. I didn't realize, then, how appropriate that phrase would be for Lucy. I don't think there's been a day in the last year when she hasn't made us laugh. I thank God every day for sending us our little comedian.


In other news, Ella had her first day of school today, if you can call it that. She was in and out in less than an hour so that she could meet her teacher and see her classroom. Even though the real event isn't until tomorrow, I thought I'd follow Aunt Mary's example by taking her picture on our front steps. I hope to continue that every year as Mary did with Melissa.

By the way, today also marks two happy years of knowing Christie.

This blog brought a smile to my face and a tear to my eye! I can't believe Lucy's two already--what a happy day that was to meet two of my favorite people in one day. And I can't believe that Ella and Quinn are in first grade (by the way--without a doubt--the very best year in school!) Enjoy it, Q & E!

Emily, Your amazing memory is going to make you an ace at this blogging. Ella looks eager, and I created my post before I looked at yours, it seems Lucy has a reputation at the ripe young age of two.

I'm a day late, but Happy Birthday Lucy! I still remember sitting at the Michigan game when Andrew told me you had her and that we were going to the hospital when the game was done. I don't know if I would have wanted to meet anyone hours after giving birth!! It was so nice for you guys to include me in it!
