Fun time with cousins!

Mike’s sister, Kelly and her boys, Christian and Carter came for their spring break.  Jack and Lucy had so much fun this weekend with their cousins

Christian (also known as the baby whisperer) kept Lucy entertained and happy.  She often leaned over to suck his cheek… or give him baby kisses.

We went for a walk on the beach, which turned into Jack and Carter getting soaking wet.  Lucy wanted to join in the fun, too.  This is her first time putting her toesies in the sand.  She loved it.  Looking forward to my spring break next week so we can go every day.

Lucy had a great time playing with Uncle Bobby back at Nana & Grandaddy's house. 
The ducks also came for a visit to Nana & Grandaddy's house.  Jack and Carter enjoyed feeding them lots of corn.... and some more corn... and a little bit more corn.

We can't wait to see all of the Skaggs family again.  We miss them already.

March days...


We celebrated Mimi's birthday at the beginning of the month.  The sibs and I got mom a Kindle Fire.  I am excited for her to get to know how to use it and enjoy her purse-sized technology.  We went out to dinner at North Beach Bistro.  Jack and Lucy were perfect little angels... by the grace of God. 
Lucy's world is changing... she sits up with perfect posture now.  I love this age.  I can sit her on the floor with a few toys and she entertains herself for longer periods of time.  Isn't this the happiest babe you have ever seen? Oh, and she discovered her tongue.  It is out a lot! Bath time is more fun now, too.  I do hear this a lot now though: "Wucy, stop spwashing!"





Lucy has also been introduced to baby food.  She is not a big fan... yet.  We nicknamed her "Lock-jaw Lucy" because as you bring the spoonful of food to her lips she purses them and won't let anything in!  These pictures were taken in the last couple of weeks... if she looks to be enjoying the food.. I assure you, she is not.  In the last few days she has been starting to actually open her mouth for food and is eating more.  It was a challenge in the beginning, though. 


We have had a rough few weeks this month.  Jack and Lucy were both sick.  Jack had an infection in his throat and a fever for a week straight.  Lucy also had some fever and her first ear infection.  We had 4 trips to the doctor in 2 weeks, antibiotics and several sleepless nights.  Just as soon as they were getting better Mom took an ugly spill on a freshly mopped kitchen floor and spent the weekend in the hospital.  She is home now and recovering, but uncomfortable.  Basically, it has been a stressful few weeks...

So today when I got home from work I found such joy in watching Jack play.  First of all, it feels like summer out.  It was beautiful, sunny, and warm.  Jack was rosy cheeked and sweaty.  He and Emma and Summer started running through the sprinkler.  They giggled, squealed, got soaking wet, and had so much fun.  It was the absolute best part of my day.  I ran in to get the camera.

Back-blogging: January

January was a busy month for us.  My sister and her family came across the country for a visit.  While there were here we had Lucy baptized and took a Hudnut/Davis trip to Disney World.

Sparky (Mimi & Poppie’s dog) got some attention from the girls.  Lilana has some much needed cousin time with Lucy.  And everyone fought over who got to sit in Poppie’s lap.

That’s one PROUD POPPIE.
Lucy wore the same gown Emma was baptized in.  It was hand-stitched by Emma’s great grandmother.

After church we went back to the Goodman house for lunch, pictures, and forced family fun.

Disney World
We had so much fun going to Disney World with the Hudnuts.  We stayed in a two bedroom condo right around the corner from the part.  The cousins had so much fun together at the condo, and of course at the Magic Kingdom.  Jack still talks about the rides he went on, seeing the “Beatiful Sandcastle”, and the characters he saw in the parades.  Here are some snapshots from our day in Disney.
