Lucy is Two!

Lulu's new ride.

Lulu on her new scooter, wearing her new swim goggles from cousin May.

Our litle Lulu is two years old and I am wondering where the time has gone. It is such a bittersweet feeling, knowing that there is no longer a baby in the house. Our big girl is so much fun these days. She loves dressing up in her tutu, following Gus around, looking for bugs, digging in the sandbox, playing with the "ducks" (the chickens) and singing songs.

We had a great little birthday celebration here this weekend. Grandma Connie, Grammy Kath, and Grandpa Tim made it for the weekend. Grandpa Dick was busy attending a WEA convention.

Not-so-Extreme Makeover: Backyard Edition

So after watching Food INC., and visiting our friends with chickens..... we jumped on the bandwagon and are Pollo Loco. Matt and Tim framed out a Chichen Paradise.. a nice coop for our 6 hens. We have 3 Golden Comets, 2 Barred Rocks, and 1 New Hampshire Red in the basement right now, under a warming lamp. They are tiny and cute and they poop everywhere. I will post more pics of the gals later. For now, enjoy the mini backyard makeover pics. We expanded the garden area to make a bigger veggie and flower garden.

Where did April go?

I can't believe it is May 1st already and Lucy will be two in about two weeks. What a great month April was. We had really warm temps around Matt's birthday, new chickens to join our clan, projects in the backyard, and family that came up for visits which is always fun.

Here are some pics from Matt's b-day celebration, Molly and Aaron's visit, a trip to Shaw's pond, and Lucy doing her stickers with stylish sunglasses (on upsidedown).

More pics to come.....
