possibilities in hair


Lucy's hair is growing out into a spectacularly cute curled bob with very little help from me. Several neighbors and friends and far away family have commented lately that her haircut is adorable, but ever since that first haircut at about six months old when I lopped off the long combover strand on the top of her head that swirled around the bald patch underneath it, all I've had to do is keep her bangs trimmed every once in awhile.

The slight curls in the back have become ringlets, the sides are growing out, and it's long enough to do fun things like this with it:


She even requests "hair shop" now sometimes and gets annoyed if we're out playing and the wind blows her hair into her face.

notes from daycare

Tuesday 5/24/11

Hooray Lucy!
Group: Auntie Sommer, Lilac, and Ivy

8:30-9:30: Fun helping rock our friends in the wooden boat and sang "Row Row Row Your Boat". Stories and art. Lucy painted a big blue dot right on the end of her nose twice! confirming our suspicions that she was a trapeze clown in a circus in a former incarnation. What a sense of humor!

heard on the street

"Tree tree tree. 


Lucy sings tree song.


Be still, be still, be still.


Lucy sings be still song!"

i carry your heart


This Mother's Day I'm thinking about how lucky I am: I have a great mom, a delightful daughter, and a wonderful mother-in-law.

Since I don't have any recent generational pictures of Donna, here's an oldie but a goodie.



And, another old-time goodie, now with knee socks!

three little words

Lucy:    More turkey.
Mama:   You like turkey?
Lucy:    (nods)

              I love turkey.

Mama:   You love turkey?
Lucy:    (looks mama in the eye and smiles)

             So much.
