Our little Hippie Girl


A few weeks ago, Jamie discovered Lucy's love for the drums. Nothing makes our baby girl happier than beating on her fun little drum and making up her own songs. We think she may be ready to join the Asheville hippie drum circle in another few years!

Easter Fun




The past few weeks have been busy. Lucy took her first trip to the beach, spent a week visiting with her aunty Amy, and then traveled to Kentucky to celebrate her first Easter Sunday at her Mommy's childhood church. While in town, aunty Amy got to attend Lucy's first Easter egg hunt at her daycare. Lucy loved picking the eggs up out of the grass and "tasting" them. She also liked to taste her pretty Easter basket, but her Mommy was afraid of the potential for lead paint given the basket's origins. Later that day, Amy and Mommy took Luce to visit the Easter bunny. It was a bit of a psychedelic experience. In the Easter Bunny's "hideaway," they saw a catepillar with a moving head and a variety of other woodland creatures including Jimmeny Cricket in the top of the tree. Amy and Mommy were a little scared when the Easter Bunny sat perfectly motionless for what seemed to be at least 5 minutes. Had the Easter Bunny met an untimely end? Fortunately, once the cameras were rolling again, the Easter Bunny came to life. Though Amy was afraid that Lucy would cry once she saw that crazy bunny face getting closer, Mommy knew that her curious little girl would be just fine. Sure enough, Luce smiled and immediately began trying to grab the the bunny's ears, whiskers, and tie. Mommy is sure the Easter Bunny was happy when little Lucy Adair went along her merry way. A few days later, Lucy traveled to Kentucky. While there, Lucy got to see her friend Macy who's just a few weeks older. She enjoyed playing with Macy's toys and Macy enjoyed trying to "play" with Lucy's hair! She also spent Easter morning at Virginia Avenue, the church where her Mommy grew up. She did very well but was a bit too much for her Papa Richard. She squirmed around in his lap and had quite a bit of fun playing with a crumpled bulletin. She also enjoyed kicking her sandals off--they landed in the pew ahead. Good times! Overall, though, she did remarkably well and fell asleep in her Mommy's arms. Later that day Lucy visited with Uncle Patrick, Jared, Great-Grandmother, Grammy Fran, Aunty Amy, Grandpa, Lisa and other friends. She loved her Easter baskets--especially the one with the Disney Princess rubber ball. By the end of the day, Miss Lucy was a sleepy little girl!

Beach Baby



Though the trip started off a bit shaky--lost luggage, a messy incident involving the greyhound's tail, and a tiny baby's handprint on piping hot cheeze pizza--overall, Lucy, Jennifer, Daddy, and aunty Amy had a fun time at Folly Beach. Lucy loved the sand, especially running her little fingers through it. Check out our trip photos in the slideshow. We really love the ones of Luce on the beach. Unfortunately, it was super chilly all weekend so we couldn't spend much time outside. We're planning to go back again later in the summer.
