Lucy's reading

I gotta say - my girl has some gorgeous hair! But it has gotten a little too long, causing it too look tangled and scraggly at the end. She can brush her own hair - and does sometimes - but can really only reach so far with the brush. I'd been telling her she needed a cut for a long time and Dave finally bribed her into going with him and Max for trims and got a few inches taken off - the before and after shots.

Lucy got picked to do a reading in church during a school-day mass! She practiced and had it down pat by the second time she read through it! 

She was pretty nervous but she did amazing! She did the very first reading (as she said, "I even talk before Father!") and my mom and I were there to see her do a great job. I wished I could take photos and videos but didn't think it would be appropriate. But just about every other mom / family took photos and videos of their kids! If only she hadn't been first so I could see everyone else doing it first...oh well, she was amazing and I was so proud!

I did record her very first read-through at home...

This guy! We were painting rocks one afternoon and I stuck a paintbrush behind my ear...he spotted it and had to do the same...too bad his was covered in paint and soon, so was his hair!

He can fall asleep at the drop of a hat! Lucy was never like that...and she never fell asleep watching tv - she still won't, no matter how sleepy she is. But this guy can be going strong one second, talking and everything, and the next thing you know, he can be fast asleep.
