Happy Halloween!

You can see the "TVLand" influence in Lucy's costume for her first Halloween party as she got dolled up as the title character in "I Dream of Jeannie" today for her daycare's party.

There were so many adorable kids there -- Spiderman, Batman, princesses, Scooby Doo, Bob the Builder -- even a little kid dressed like a piece of candy corn! Happy to say that Lucy was the one and only genie there. Also happy that Lucy doing the arm cross, head bob thing like Jeannie was finally caught by Mom on videotape with Lucy in full costume.

The headpiece off, it's time to eat candy with Dad!

We don't know what to do about her shyness...

Yeah, here's Miss Lucy modeling her t-shirt from Angela. She really liked the shirt. Maybe she knew what it said. ;)

Pajama Day!

Hi, y'all. Just a couple photos of Lucy all ready for preschool this morning.
Today is pizza and PJ day. Kids come in their jammies, get fed pizza for lunch, and watch movies and eat popcorn.
I cannot tell you how good this sounds to Lucy's mommy and daddy right about now!

Lucy turns 2!!!

We had a blast. Her big day was Sept. 24, sandwiched in between Dad's (22nd) and Mom's (28th). We had a fairly low-key night at paternal grandma's house.

Enjoy the photos! More will be coming in a more timely manner, I promise. We've shut down our adoption blog and will be posting here exclusively! More soon.



Cake all over!
