Our trip to PA went great. It was 3 weeks, and in my opinion, was too short. We were so busy the whole time that it just flew by and I didn't quite get to do all the things I wanted or see all the people I wanted. But oh well. Next time. My sister Shannon who lives near Philadelphia came with her 3 kids, sister Joanna and her husband from Denmark, and my sister Katie and her daughter Josie were there, so it made for a busy, loud, yet fun, time.
The trip was filled with lots of activities- picnic at Presque Isle (Lake Erie), crazy carp fish at Pymatooming(sp?),bonfires, Regatta at Lake Arthur, outlet shopping :), Danish dinner, birthday party, lots of crying and fussing from a baby who travels BADLY!, Pittsburgh Zoo (where I came within inches of a shark..yikes!), Butler Farm Show, haircuts, surprise 80th birthday party for a friend of the family, mall trips, and er.... I think that's it maybe? I was so busy that I forgot to even unpack my camera until nearly the end of our stay. I snapped this picture one lovely morning. :)
Anywho, a few days after we got home, as my mom predicted, Lucy rolled over onto her stomach! Since then, she rolls all over the place. When I put her on the living room floor, she turns into a little steamroller. She turned 5 months old the beginning of this month.
A few weeks after we got home, we moved up to Ogden to be closer to school for Josh. He sold his car, so being an only 1 car family, this move has helped us majorly and is extremely convenient. Most days he bikes the 5 minutes to school. We live right in front of part of the campus. I'm not crazy about Ogden, or cities in general, but our apartment is cute. Smaller than what we are used to, but actually quite perfect for us right now. I am having fun decorating it.
A little strawberry costume someone gave me, (up to 12 months old),which did TOTALLY not fit her, but I tried anyways. heh heh...
She loves sucking on her hand, and also the toes on her right foot.
She's eating 1-2 meals a day in her high chair now.Sadly, she does NOT like peas! (my favorite)
hm... is this really my girl after all?
Good morning!
She loves to play peek-a-boo with JoshI'll post pictures of our new place and other stuff once I get everything how I want it. Below are some pictures from PA that my sister took that I swiped. :)
