Celebrating Generations

It's been a full (pleasantly so) few weeks for us here. My grandparents celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary on June 14th! All the relatives got together for a wonderful party, and my mom came for a 5-day visit as well. It was so nice to see her again.

Here are some pictures from the party- the first 3 represent 4 generations of women.

Needless to say, Lucy was super cute in her party dress, and a big hit, especially with all my girl cousins.

Here are my grandparents in front of the Littleton Baptist Church where they got married in '58 and Matt and I got married in '04!

We also celebrated Matt's first father's day with Lucy.

One of our favorite new books is "You are my I love you." It's a series of phrases describing the parent-child relationship ("I am your parent, you are my child; I am your quiet, you are my wild...I am your wait, you are my wiggle." We've thought of a few more to add, like, "You are my alarm clock, I am your snooze" and "I am your stem, you are my flower." That second one describes the picture below (ie, with mom in green and Lucy in yellow/white).


Here is Lucy getting her first piano "lesson". :)


And our little grown-up baby sitting in her bumpo chair. (I think that's what it is called).
Although the picture above doesn't reflect it, Lucy is getting a lot more wiggly and active. She can hold onto blocks and toys for long chunks of time, often batting herself in the head with them accidently. She continues to get more and more alert and aware. She now stretches out her hand when I'm holding her and walking around the house, trying to touch whatever she can. She is such a delight, and is getting more fun every day!
