boston

We're back! Lucy, Violet and I flew to Boston for a visit! Yes, you read that right, I took the girls myself, what an airplane adventure! Actually, it was a lot of stuff to haul, but the girls did great on the flight, Lucy was hilarious yelling out to the entire plane, "We're flying!"
Gosh, there is so much to say, I don't know where to begin. We got to watch Jonas' soccer game, he did awesome and Jack taught Lucy how to kick a soccer ball. Lucy got to go to church school with cousin Joey, it was adorable to see Joey(4) watching out for his cousin Lucy. One day we took all six kids to a Lego convention, which led us to drink a lot of wine that night after all six were in bed, LOL. We went to American Girl for shopping and lunch. It was amazing, Lucy now has her Just Like You, "Dolly." Joey was a trooper in the doll store, he even got an American Girl puppy, "Honey Puppy." It was hilarious when they brought out a boy doll, so Joey could have a doll at lunch too. It was even more funny to see how much Joey looked like the doll(see picture below.) Don't worry, we didn't come home with Joey's look alike, but we did come home with practically everything for Jana and Lucy....I think Julie and I enjoyed the shopping just as much. We got to relax at home a lot and have our silly mommy/sister moments after bedtime. Uncle John was busy a lot, but he did get some Violet snuggle time, he is such a softy for babies! Violet loved meeting her cousins and they LOVED her...holding her, kissing her, it was so. Thanks a zillion Boston family, we already miss you!

Hubbies had a wager on the game, so we thought we'd dress for the occasion...

happy b-day papa

Yesterday was Papa C's birthday, so we spent the afternoon at their farm. You would think the cake would have been the highlight, but this trip it was a frog. Yep, we found a frog and Lucy went crazy over him, it was hilarious, every time the frog jumped she would scream and jump all around. Before we knew it she was holding the frog...something mommy won't even do. Grandma got video, if we can I will post it, you will love it.

a 2nd use

I was hoping to use most of the things we had for Lucy as a baby....so, today I broke out the baby gym! Can you believe my big girl played under this and now her sister is? I can hardly believe their size difference laying side by side under this, hard to imagine that Violet will be big like Lucy before we know it!

pee pee on the potty

Big day....Lucy went pee pee on the potty! Oh how my life is about to change, as if it hasn't already. Guess this is the joy of children changing just when you think you have things figured out. LOVE IT! Here is the big girl with her potty prizes...
