Like Night and Day

This has got to be one of my favorite all time picture of the girls!  I just love how it shows their different personalities.  Our Ellie is a thinker, always trying to figure out something, or watching someone, she's more shy, cautious,  and reserved to a degree.  And then there's Lucy, or wild child.  She is all out all the time, loud, crazy, our fearless little one. 

Long Time No Post

I totally dropped the ball when it comes to blogging the past 4 months.  I thought multiple times about trying to catch up, but that was way too overwhelming, so I finally just decided to pick back up where I left off.  But, before I do that I think I'll share a few great pics that I don't want to leave out...

 Lucy and her buddy Spidey

 She LOVES these boots

Isle of Palms 2012

Way back in July...yes JULY, we went to the beach with the Emory clan and we had a great time!  Here are a few of my favorite pics from our time there...

Eat Mor Chikin!

Tonight we started a new family tradition...participating in Cow Appreciation Day at Chick-fil-A.  Earlier in the week we started preparing Ellie, and she didn't seem to keen on the idea of dressing like a cow, but today she really got into it.  She was "mooing" up a storm and so proud of her cow attire.  We had a fun night together and got some yummy free food to boot!  

A few of her favorite things...

sitting in tiny chairs and reading books.  

I know I'm slightly biased, but she just keeps getting cuter and cuter!

Sweet Lucy Kate you have filled our lives this past year with so much joy!  I can't believe you used to be this little.  Getting to know you, and watch you grow has been such a blessing to us (even big sis).  We love everything about you, from your infectious smile to your chunky little thighs. 

You love Ellie, balloons, blueberries, swinging, dancing, and books at this age.  You are either really happy or really angry...there is no in-between with you, girl!  You are our loud girl who lets us know what you want and what you don't.  You give the best kisses and we love you more and more each day!   

We are so thankful that the Lord chose us to be your parents,and we are excited to see what He has in store for your little life! 

Lucy Turns 1!

 On June 16th we celebrated the first year of Lucy's life with family and a small cook-out.  Here are a few pictures from that day...
