Our first family pic


Obviously Lucy is thrilled to be a part of our family.


Meeting Great Grandpa Babcock


Great Grandpa Babcock loved meeting Lucy. He kept smoothing out her dress and asking if she likes to have baths.

Auntie Valerie's Visit


In September, Auntie Valerie came to visit us! She was a great help and it was so fun for Lucy to meet her auntie.


Lucy's Faces

Lucy has lots of different expressions. Here are just a few to give you a taste.

Hangin' out

Pondering life...Andy thinks she is solving math problems. Lord help us.
So they say it is just gas, but to us it is a smile.

It's a girl--Lucy Grace Means

After Eva's water broke (hollywood style) at 8:00 PM Monday at Aunt Terry's house, we rushed off to Enumclaw Regional Hospital. This is our first labor picture four hours later, post-epidural. (notice there are no pre-epidural pictures :).


Lucy Grace arrived at 4:11 AM on Tuesday, 8/26. This photo shows after only a few minutes in this world that she had a hold both her mom and dad.

To everyone's astonishment (except for Eva), Lucy weighed in at 9 pounds 12 ounces, 22 inches long!




A favorite activity of both father and daughter. This has been a rare occurence.




Bringing Lucy Home

And just in case new windows weren't enough, we thought we would paint the entire house, detached garage and picket fence as well....
