And Baby Makes Three

I know they’re late seeing as how Lucy just turned 8 months old, but at least we got them done!

Last Tuesday was primary election day here in Georgia. It was Lucy’s first introduction to voting. Start ‘em young!

Lucy was pretty proud of being a Georgia voter!

Election day is one of the reasons I love being in the media. It’s pretty much the pinnacle of what we do. I was on the air throughout the night reporting numbers. We ended up with quite an upset in the local county school board race with none of the incumbents being re-elected.

This is a pretty big election year for us, with many state officers up, including governor. I’m really looking forward to the general election in November!

After looking at a picture of Lucy with her duck lips…

Me: You know all the boys are going to want to kiss her duck lips.
Joe: That’s why her breakfast every day will be onions and garlic on toast.

Yep. Our daughter’s going to hate us!

So, I pretty much suck at this whole being a mom and blogging thing. I swore before Lucy was born that I wouldn’t let being a mom interfere with blogging because, let’s face it, I love letting you all know what’s going on in our lives (as much as I’m sure you love reading about it!) but, I’m always so busy in the mornings, and by the time I get home, I’m so tired I just crash on the couch.

I’m sure I will get back on track. Eventually. For now, though, it looks like another late update.

A few weeks ago, my two best friends from high school came to Chattanooga, so we drove up to see them (and my family, of course). I only see Penny and Christi a couple of times a year, and this was the first time Christi had met Lucy and I had met her son, Maks. We had a blast, as always, catching up while our kids played.

And, in case you’re wondering, Lucy and Maks are engaged. It was love at first sight. They played. Maks repeatedly tried to hug her and ended up tackling her. It was adorable. Aren’t they cute??

They promised to hold off on the wedding until they finish preschool. Whew! Oh, and since you can’t really tell in the pictures, Maks’ shirt says, “Future man of your dreams.” Christi said he wore it just for Lucy. Can I get an “awwww!”?

We had a blast. I can’t wait to see the girls again!
