I haven't written in awhile so I am taking this nap time quiet to update the blog.
Dave and I have been keeping a secret but we finally told last Thursday. In February Lucy is going to be a big sister! I am due February 22nd, two weeks before Lucy's 2nd birthday. :) I have been very nervous and I have a backache, but other than that everything is going great.
Lucy has become such a person over the summer. She knows what she wants and she tells us! Lately she has taken to telling everyone where to sit, and she likes to tell people to "sit, play." Fortunately that is the height of her bossiness, so far. :) i am going to try to finish updating my videos now so you can click over to youtube and see her in action.

It's been a while
We went on a vacation!!!!!! We left Wednesday after Dave got out of work and went to Cleveland, OH. It turned out to be only three and a half hours away and was one of our best trips ever! We just went there to chill so it was great. We visited a place called the Farm Park which is a huge farm that is open like a museum/petting zoo. Lucy (and Mommy and Daddy) got to pet sheep, goats, horses, and cows. We also saw chickens, ducks, pigs, llamas, and alpacas.
This was the dairy barn. You could watch them milk the cows and even try it yourself. Or you could just pet the cows and moo at them which is what we did. :)
Petting a sheep, we can't wait to get some of our own!
Baby goats sleeping in the food bucket.
Daddy made Lucy practice sitting on the saddle so that she can take riding lessons with him as soon as possible. (His riding teacher claims three is old enough but I don't know about that!)
We went to the zoo also but that was a bit of a let down. It was huge so we had a walk a ton between exhibits and the exhibits just weren't that nice. I think we were disappointed because the brochure made it seem a lot nicer than it was. Oh well, I didn't even take any pictures there.
The day we went to the Farm park we also ended up at a nearby beach. We had asked at the hotel front desk if there was a beach or park nearby, and the girl gave us directions for a beach that was about 15minutes away. It turned out to be the highlight of our trip! The beach was about a half mile long and 200 feet wide of nice clean sand and you could swim anywhere you wanted. It wasn't really crowded and the weather was beautiful. We ended up spending the whole afternoon there on Saturday. Lucy played in the sand, I read a book and Dave just chilled. Best vacation ever! The lake was really rough because a lot of thunderstorms had been passing through the area at night (the power went out on two different days at the hotel), but we played in the waves a bit. Lucy liked it until a wave went in her face. Here are some pictures of her in the sand:
Isn't she the prettiest beach babe you ever saw?!
Lucy digging a hole (we helped her with it).
Lucy sitting next to the hole. It was a fun hole, kept her occupied for at least an hour!
Dave chillin'.

Very Tricky
Lucy played a trick on me today! We were playing this afternoon and I asked her "what is your name? Is your name Lucy?" She said "no" so i asked what her name was. She looked me in the eye and said "Molly"!!! Then she gave me this sly smile and laughed a little! Can you believe her?! I was very impressed and very amused!
