Mothers' Day

Hello to all of you! The end of May finds us all doing very well, enjoying the beautiful weather and counting the days until school is out. Andy has finished coaching football, youth group is coming to an end and now we are just looking forward to the summer: several weddings of family and friends and a trip to the Dominican Republic. Yep! Lucy just got her first passport in the mail! Lucy is actually nine months old today. She went for her check-up and the Doc declared that she is in great health. She is growing a lot (she is 23 1/2 pounds and 30 1/2 inches long) and is off the charts. We haven't found a food that she doesn't like. She is rolling everywhere and does this army crawl thing, but only in circles because she hasn't figured out how to go forwards or backwards yet. She does however get wherever she needs to go. She is a super busy baby and for this reason we are enjoying the short time we have left before she is running everywhere. She is very social and people seem to get a big kick out of her everywhere we go because she is a stranger to no one. We have added a lot of pics so enjoy!



For Mothers' Day Eva, her mom Maria and Lucy went and had a 3 generation picture taken.

William and Melissa's Wedding

On May 17th Eva's little brother William and his new bride Melissa got married. It was a great time celebrating what God has done in their lives and a wonderful time visiting with all the friends and family that came to celebrate with us.

Easter '09

For Easter we went out to Whidbey Island to have Easter with the Means/Links Crew. Lucy with Grandma Mary on the ferry.

Lucy definitely seemed to prefer not having to share Grandma with cousin Russell.

We have certainly been enjoying the beautiful weather. Lucy has by far the best room in the house. This is her view.

Lucy and the Balloons

Lucy is a BIG fan of balloons and always entertains the grocery store clerks with her squeals and giggles in the check out line. These were some left over from a baby shower I did for a friend.

Spending time with Daddy

Lucy loves to look out the window and watch for cars, or people or birds or squirrels--really just anything moving, bright or colorful.
