9 month happenings (warning: picture overload!)

Whew! What a crazy month! This past month, Lucy learned to crawl, so as you can imagine, we've been busy ever since trying to keep her out of trouble. (With no such luck!) She also learned how to stand up and sit down while holding onto things.

I turned 25 this past month. Yikes! A quarter of a century has come and gone too quickly; I wonder how I can slow time down?! Before I know it I will be buying wrinkle cream and bifocals..

Upon arriving in PA awhile back, Lucy has become pretty much smitten with everyone, as you can see.

Did I mention that she is getting into everything?? Because she totally is. And despite all the bumps and bruises she may or may not be getting along the way, she is having a ball. She is quite proud of herself that she can stand up.


Christmas Eve, I had to trick my mom into leaving the house, so some "secret elves" could come and deliver her new Christmas present :). So we decided to go visit Lucy, the 105-yr-old lady who's name has been passed onto my little Lucy. Did I say she's 105?! Her mind is sharper than anyone I've ever met, and she's still going strong. Of course, being that old might have made her slightly bitter nowadays, but what older person do you know that doesn't hate all food and chaos?



Lucy slept most of Christmas day, which was GR-R-E-A-T! She got a bunch of books, some clothes, a really cute quilt from her Aunt Katie, some stuffed animals, but... I'm thinking her favorite above all was this orange seen below.

We had a fabulous Christmas dinner with the usual's, and of course, my mom always

tries a few new recipes, so we are never lacking for variety each year. It was all de-lish!

This is just random, but it had to be posted. Too cute to pass up!

We're having fun here at Granny's!

Happy New Year's, everyone!!
