We miss Adam

Adam is on his first business trip since Lucy has been born. He is in Vegas for baseball's winter meetings. We haven't been apart since before Lucy was born, except one quick night less than 24 hours which has been awesome. I actually have been so spoiled by that. Adam is such a great dad and helper around the house with Lucy. I am anxious to have him back here. The house just seems so darn empty without him. He left on Sunday and will be back Thursday night. I am counting the days to see his cute face. Lucy has been awesome and we have had so much fun together. Today was the first day I sang a bunch of Tippi Toes songs with her. Why have I not done this earlier, she was giggling so much! Aww it melted my heart!

So much excitement for all the Oklahoma football fans. It is so much fun watching them this year, especially with Adam. Before the game today we took a family walk in the neighborhood. We usually use the stroller but today we opted for the baby carriers. Wow, that makes a walk WAY different! And earlier this morning Lucy was invited to a birthday party. Adam and I were so excited, the party was at a bowling alley and Adam asked if he should bring his own ball. Hummm, it was a 3 yr old birthday, I think we are just hanging out Adam. It was really fun. Lucy was one a just a few girls with lots of boys having a blast. It was so cute! All the fun we have to look forward to. Adam leaves tomorrow for a 5 day business trip ~ ugh, it will be a long 5 days without him. It is the first trip for him since Lucy was born. We will all be happy when Thursday arrives.

OK - side note, why is my blog so sloppy? How do you edit it without all the spaces by the pictures, ours looks horrible.

Packing for our trip!

I have caught up on all our laundry and already started laying out our clothes for our Thanksgiving trip. One of my favorite things to do is pack Lucy, all the cute outfits, adding tights and hair bows! Lucy is cooing more and more and we are having a blast!

Double Post...is that allowed?

I have a hard time getting one post a week, much less 2 in one night. So I was feeling bad I didn't post a picture, Lucy is sleeping so there is not much to take a picture of so I ran down and took a picture of her asleep...yes I am lame. I could have done the same to Adam but he would have killed me. This picture is so funny because this is exactly how I sleep, and exactly how my dad sleeps, its genetic. Also I posted a picture of Lucy's room - just since I had the camera out and had nothing else that interesting around me.

Post without a Pic?

Will I get killed for not posting a picture? As you can see I have been working on my blog, my friends are all sporting cute blogs and mine was so plain jane, so BAM - here it is all thanksgivingish now...the key will be to change it after next week. So it was my first weekend by myself with Lucy. Adam went on a guys get away weekend, okay not the weekend, he just went for less than 24 hours. I made sure I was busy so time would fly and we wouldn't miss him too much. The missing him of course happened but time really did fly, I took Lucy to get her 3 month pics, we went to one of my girlfriends showers (who needs to start a blog...KATIE!), went to church, came home snuggled in bed, woke up did a few chores and then met some friends for lunch...BAM Adam beat us home. So now I know I can do it myself, which I needed to know because he is leaving for Vegas for business mid December for 4 days - eekk. Adam had a hard time sleeping on his camping trip so came home hang a little and opted to hit the sac when Lucy did. I rarely am up by myself and when I am...you can see I don't make much progress with house cleaning, catching up on work (although I am kind of working), or anything else...my blog took my time tonight.
We have a busy week coming up - passing out Tippi Toes t-shirts at some classes, hosting our hometeam (Bible Study) Thanksgiving at our house for 12 people on Wednesday and then packing for a week trip to Austin and then OKLAHOMA! I am so excited to see our family and to have everyone get quality time with Lucy. I have found one of the greatest joys is watching my family love Lucy. I know I will have lots of that coming up and I am so excited! I have so much which to be grateful for and I feel so blessed in love and in life. I have an amazing husband with a marriage that is out of this world, a healthy happy beautiful daughter, family that I truly consider my best friends, unbelievable friends, and a wonderful business. God is good and I am truly blessed and THANKFUL!

Best Friends

So Lucy and Wrigley have become best buddies. Wrigley has always been good with Lucy but just recently decides he wants to join her wherever she is. I was cooking dinner in the kitchen and they both joined me.

Also Lucy is becoming a pro at holding her head up, we are so proud!
