Hey there!
I know, it's been WAAAYYY too long since I've updated our site. My apologies. I'm going to blame my recent CRACKBOOK, I mean Facebook addition.
As you can tell by the name of this post, Lucy slept all night in her big girl bed last night. I only had to put her back in bed 3x. I thought that was pretty good for her first time. There's no going back now! Her afternoon nap has been pretty sporadic lately. She's only 2 1/2 so I'm hoping that she hasn't given up on it yet. The dark circles under her eyes are a dead give away that she still needs one, not to mention that cranky attitude of hers;)
Lucy is getting so big! I'm continually amazed at her verbal and motor skills. She's like a little sponge. Favorite sayings at the moment are, "Niicce" (courtesy of Kurt) "What you doing?" and "I no want to." Transitions continue to be tough. This girl never wants the party to stop. Kinda like Mom???? At least I don't arch my back, scream and throw myself to the ground every time...well not EVERY time...we have to stop the favorite activity of the moment to move on to something different. Lucy got more stitches in the SAME eyebrow again. We were in church for all of 15 minutes when she wanted to take a stroll up the center aisle to say hello to Pastor Anne. When I tried to stop her, (picture said back arching etc above) she flung herself into the corner of the wooden pew. 3 stitches later...What a way to avoid church! At least Kurt was home this time. For those of you that don't know, Lucy has had a total of 3 ER visits in her brief time on the planet thus far, two of which Kurt was traveling. It figures doesn't it?
The Colombia program has picked up again. We've moved up the list considerably and hope to have a referral sometime this spring. Fingers crossed! And please keep us and our next birth family in your prayers guys. We've requested a child of either gender, younger than Lucy. I'm nesting right now BIG TIME. Just trying to get the house ready for our #2. It keeps me busy during the wait. I overhauled the storage room, donated and threw out a bunch of stuff. The OCD in me feels goooood right about now. Lucy is now in our old guest room (don't worry guys. We still have a comfy new futon in the basement.) We'll keep the nursery the same for the new baby. I wanted to have Lucy all settled into her new room to help ease the transition of a new brother or sister. She's in for a wake up call:0 Now if we can only get her potty trained! I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this will be handled before we get "the call." I really don't want to buy diapers for 2 while we're in Colombia for 4+ weeks!
Well..onto the pictures...it's what you've all wanted to see anyway right?
Smooch

She IS getting big. We moved Hope out of her crib last Sunday. She's doing great too. I wish I could say I've done as much purging as you have. ;) I can't get over those beautiful GIANT chocolate eyes. I bet Lucy gets everything she wants from her daddy. Yea about the speed up. Spring brings "new" in all forms. :) Miss you! - B
Lucy looks so big! It's like she grew up into a little girl over night! As usual, she's a doll!!!
It's about time you updated in here! Lucy is such a big girl and adorable as always. Charlotte and I enjoyed the slide show. I hope #2 referral comes soon! I am getting boy vibes for some reason for you...
Holy Moly! It HAS been a long time since we've seen Lucy! She's a big girl now! :) We think of you guys often and can't WAIT to share your news with you ... and of course we'll be jealous you're going back to Colombia. We're putting together a slide show for Karina's baptism and everytime we look at it, we get homesick for C.
