Happy Birthday, Lucy!!!


4 years ago today, at 5:20 a.m. a little baby girl was born, weighing 8 lbs. 9 oz. and 20 inches long. We named her Lucy, which means "to shine, to bring forth light". At the time we thought it was fitting because she was born so early in the morning. Now we realize the real meaning of her name. Truly, Lucy shines, and has brought light into our home every day of her life!
We were so excited to have another baby girl in our family. Abby and Phoebe were such good little helpers, and Will was, and still is, the best big brother any little girl could have.
Another special thing about the birth of Lucy- the morning after she was born, my Grandpa Birt passed away. I like to say that when she came to earth, she opened a window of heaven so that Grandpa could return to heaven at the age of 96.
Happy birthday, Lucy. You are definitely a light in our family. We all love you very much!

Happy Birthday Lucy! I haven't seen it personally, but I love your personality simply because it gives your mom really funny things to blog about.

Becky, I can't wait to see your finished kitchen. Talk about exciting and frustrating at the same time.

Hey Becky!! I got my family page up and going, so I'm a little more official than just the dinner group. I'm totally confused and still trying to manuever my way around though!!

Happy Birthday Lucy!!!

My Belle loves Lucy. Whenever she is naming friends, Lucy in in the mix (even though she doesn't know her that well). I guess Lucy made quite an impression on her.

I can't believe these little ones are turning 4. That seems way too old.
