diggin for worms

Lucy has discovered "outside." If I go to put something in the recycle bin or in the outside trash, she wants to be there too. Also, if you say "outside" she runs to the door.

I have been grilling a lot this fall, and Lucy will come play on the deck while I'm out there.

She discovered this hole in the wood and thinks it is so much fun!

Because we have to

We went to Oregon with my in-laws for a family reunion. They were so happy to see Lucy.

This was the first night in the hotel. She was so beat. You'd be surprised at how tiring it is to ride in a car seat for 8 hours.

Lucy wasn't entirely sure about all the people in attendance. And it scared her when they got too loud.

She managed to take about a 2 hour nap despite all the noise.

Dorita and her husband made the food. It was fantastic.

Their son, Sergio, said, "My dad makes real Mexican food because he's a real Mexican." So I asked if he made half-Mexican food because he's half Mexican. He replied that he's Californian. My bad.

Mamaw (far right) and her siblings.

Lucy's favorite relative was the dog. Sorry folks.

My mom has a head lamp to use for finding things when my dad is asleep in the room (he works nights). Lucy had so much fun with it. You can tell by the blur that she kept pretty busy.
