Lucie is living up to her name. (Lucie means "light"). She is such a bright spot in our family—always happy and smiling. And she laughs alot at her sister.

Lucie's new trick

Lucie can wave now!

Love those lashes

We're not sure where they came from, but both of our girls have the most ridiculously long eyelashes as you can see pretty well from these shots.

a few good ones

Mom is enjoying her camera more everyday. And she is a little photoshop-happy as you can tell from these shots. . . .Or can you? . . . .

Lucie's new trick

Lucie can now blow raspberries. She does it ALL the time. She especially likes to do it when she's eating her peas which she spews all over her mom.

I hope this works

This is Nadine doing her new thing. She says "oh yea" all the time.

Lucie Pie

Nadine was calling Lucie "sweetie pie" and now it's turned into "Lucie Pie." It's the most appropriate nickname we've heard so far.

Sweet Lucie

What is house sitting anyways?

Well for us it is 3 days in my bosses' ginormous house on the north shore of Boston. It was a tough assignment.

Here are some pictures of their amazing place but the pictures really don't do it justice. Nadine announced that she wants to live there now because it's "funner."

First Wedding

Our sweet friend (and former RUF student) got married last weekend. Nadine was the flower girl and Joey did the wedding. It was such an honor for us to be involved and Nadine seemed to develop a slight crush on the groom. After it was over she started sniffing in the car and said "I miss Kevin so bad!"

I finally gave in

and I will be sharing my blog with my sister now. Here are some pics of us and friends and family from this summer.


Cousin Riley felt she needed her goggles and snorkle to run through the sprinkler. . . .



Cousin Lizzie looking as sweet as always.


Deenie, Porter and Riley.
The future Mr. and Mrs. Patton Hickman

Just some new pictures

My sister

is so great. I am really enjoying being a big sister, but all of my sisterly duties have been eating up my blogging time.

My New Sister

Meet Lucie Susanna. Isn't she cute? I love helping mom take care of her.
