Our Lu turned 8!

Lucy turned 8 on August 13th and our girl was well-celebrated!  On her actual birthday, I took strawberry cupcakes to school to share with her new classmates and we had dinner with Kay, Fred and Kelly!  The weekend after, she had a party at a sewing school with her friends - it was all so much fun!

Lucy loves to try to new things and keep us smiling with her observations on life.  She will laugh out loud at funny commercials on TV and continues to love riding her bicycle!  Lu got her glasses in June and seems to love her new accessory!

Lucy is a great leader and we are thankful for what a wonderful Big Sister she is to Eli and Samuel.  She loves to teach them...she helps Eli sound out words, she works on Samuel's speech, and she is eager to train our new puppy, Disco!  She recently wrote that she wanted to be a third-grade teacher when she grows up because she wants to teach multiplication.  She has a big imagination and is always inventing games to play with Eli and Samuel - right now, our upstairs hallway is covered in post-it notes that have descriptions of items you can buy in their "store."  We love our Lu!
