An evening with Lucy

Last night Aunt Vera decided to have a cousins sleepover party. Since Lucy is still so young we kept her with us. It was so cute to see how pleased she acted about getting so much undivided attention from mom and dad. We discovered a few things about Lucy while the others were away.
1. Even with being so young, she is just as talented at making messes as any of our other children.
2. She talks just as much as any of our other children, we just can't understand her yet.
3. She absolutely loves attention, from anybody, when siblings aren't around that attention must come from mom and dad.

This time together helped us rediscover how incredibly cute this little girl is, and how much we love her. Here she is helping her dad with his Labor Day project--putting the newly stained porches back in place. I still have a bit of touching up to do because after assembling the porches we discovered that the top step was missing. We salvaged the broken step and John made it almost as good as new.

By the way, Hannah, Johnny and Maddie had a great time!
