Lucy at the Lake

Last night we went on a little family picnic down to Greenwood Lake State Park. We had a nice little picnic on the grass by the lake. It was nice and scenic. And don't tell anyone, but we didn't pay our four dollar entry fee. We tried to, but there was no one on duty to make change for us, and we certainly weren't going to leave a six dollar tip with our ten dollar bill. We were only there about an hour anyway, so I don't think we used up four dollars worth of park.

We even brought Lucy's dog food, so she could enjoy a picnic dinner. As it turns out, the ol' reach around and take your own picture trick is a bit tougher with a dog in it...


















The really amazing thing about this next picture (other than the fact that Aubrey is managing to smile with a mouth full of sandwich!) is that Lucy has stopped begging long enough to go eat her own dinner.

















Lucy was quite interested in the lake. She was never brave enough to actually touch the water or to drink from it, and she did get somewhat startled by a small boat wake that came near her. But she definitely wanted to sniff the lake.

Giveaway

I've been watching in amazement for a few days as the links over here keep growing and growing with people who are hosting giveaways. The last time around I didn't participate, but now that things are slightly more settled in my somewhat crazy but wonderful job I thought I'd make an offering. The softies I make don't quite compare to amazing things you might see here or here , but I still think they are pretty cute. All those who leave comments will be entered to win the homemade softie of their choice, either an owl : (You can pick the colors you'd like, from a list of colors I have.) Or a penguin : Who will come with sunglasses, goggles, and a winter hat. (Because every good penguin should be prepared.) You can also pick (from a limited list) colors for the penguin's hat and glasses. I'll hold the drawing on Monday, since I'll be on call on Sunday, and the post the winner on Tuesday. Feel free to leave in your comment any favorite crafty blogs - ...

I am an awesome mom.

I won a new prize in the awesome mom category today. I have for some time been adding up points for all the ways that I am a good mom. Cut his tiny hand on his fourth day of life when I was cutting off the hospital band: check (He still has the scar!) Found rocks from our fireplace in his mouth: check Set down a knife on the table within his reach: check Turned around and found him holding said knife: double check Found leaves in his mouth: check, check and check Found him holding my razor, which I set down on the tub while he was in the bathroom: check Today, though, I set a new record. I locked Judah in the car. With all the windows up. See? Awesome mom, right here. It was a total fluke thing where I was tossing the keys onto the front seat as I was getting out and about to get Judah out. As I closed my door, the keys fell off the seat and into the shutting door, which closed on the lock button on our remote. And just like that, in a split second, Judah was locked in. ...

Final Picture Catch-up.

First, about 8 weeks ago, we saw this.... Then this: A little bit later there was this: And this: And Last week it was this: I'm now 13 weeks along, due in late March. We feel incredibly blessed, and of course, are very, very excited. (Working at a doctor's office and knowing how to do ultrasounds definitely comes in handy when you want to see your baby... And yes, I have been doing my own ultrasounds. It's a bit awkward, but I'm getting better.)
