Today was a boring day at home. Lucy fought with me to take a nap and I finally let her cry it out for a little bit. She only fussed for about 10 minutes and then it got quiet. I went to check on her and this was how I found her, laying with her leg sticking out between the slats on her crib.

Today we're spending at home catching up on some knitting, cleaning and laundry.

We did take a break and took pictures for our Christmas card this year. I know I posted here about taking Christmas card photos, but as it turns out, the link for the free 50 cards from shutterfly that I was waiting on, was very very old and I didn't realize it until yesterday. So instead of the really cute card that I was planning on using before (which would have cost over $2/each) we did a new photo shoot and picked out some much more reasonable cards that I can afford to send to everyone this year. I won't share the actual pictures but here is one of the "outtakes". I love the face Lucy's making in this picture. lol!

Football Day!!

Today started off not so great. Joe came up from downstairs and said he was feeling really weak but better. He sat and watched Lucy eat breakfast while I went upstairs to finish getting ready for church. I heard him call my name and I came down and he said he felt like he was going to pass out. He did for a minute and then came right back, pretty much like he did when I got my epidural. We decided not to got to church in case it happened again because we didn't want to leave Joe alone. After a couple hours he was feeling much better so we went out to get a few necessities that I forgot to get at the grocery store (like lysol!). After we came back home the rest of the afternoon was relaxing and watching football. I've been really into football this season and love Sunday's where I can watch it all day long.

Poor Joe was sick all day and confined to the basement to try and keep Lucy and I from catching whatever it is he had. Lucy and I went grocery shopping in the morning and it was pretty much like any other day when Joe's at work except he was in the basement instead. For dinner Lucy and I went to Nana and Pap's house so that Pap could change the oil in our van.

Today was an awesome day, well, mostly for Lucy and I. Joe had off today. So did Nana and Pap. Joe because of a concert he was going to in the evening, Nana because she needed to use up some of her vacation time and Pap because he worked 4 10-hour days this week so he had Friday off. Nana came over around noon and she and Joe got to meet the Physical Therapist. Lucy had a great session. After her session, Nana and I went to meet Pap and we went for a bike ride. That was a lot of fun! I took my camera with me but forgot to take a picture while we were on our bike ride. Afterward we went out to dinner at "Around Back". It was delicious! We came home and Joe called to tell us he was on his way home from the concert because he was sick. Not a good evening for Daddy. :(

Here's Nana and Pap keeping Lucy entertained while we waited for our food at the restaurant.

Happy Veteran's Day! Today Lucy and I drove Joe into town for work and we met up with Grandma to go watch the Veteran's Day Parade. Around 11am Lucy was just not able to fight the nap any longer but also couldn't fall asleep because of the noise from the parade so we went into Macy's and did some shopping. Then we met up with Joe after his meeting for lunch. All in all it was a very nice day!

Wednesday 11-10-10

This morning Lucy had her 18-month check up. She's doing well and the doctor was very happy. After that we met Aunt Patty at Gram's house. We were going to the Simmon's Center to deliver pumpkin rolls that Aunt Patty had made for the staff there. That's where Great-Pap went for his pulmonary fibrosis. Gram wasn't feeling up to it so she didn't go, but it wasn't like she missed anything because the girls and the doctor that we went to see weren't in that office today so it was almost a wasted trip. But I still enjoyed it because I got to spend some one-on-one time with Aunt Patty, something I don't think I've ever done before.

This pic is taken in Gram's yard. I set Lucy down so I could get her carseat out of Gram's car and back into our van and she just looked so cute sitting in the leaves.
