this is what greeted me one saturday morning.  i came down the stairs to find lucy all ready to get messy, she had her paint shirt on, paintbrushes in hand, and i guess sunglasses for the extra artistic flair. i couldn't help but smile and snap a picture.

kale chips, super yum 

she's in gelato heaven

one weekday evening we walked down the street after dinner to get a little fresh air.  we ended up at the local coffee shop.  they were playing relaxing chilled out music.  lucy started doing this dance it was so funny.  it was like an interpretive dance.  she was moving in time to the music and her hands were swaying from side to side.  it was the funniest dance me and nate have seen her do.  we need to play more music for that girl.  she really gets into it.  nate and i also agreed we need to pop into that coffee shop more,  it was so quiet and relaxing in there.  for both of us coming off a hard days work it was like some secret dream world where everyone just sat around and listened to music and drank coffee, read books, had adult conversations face to face.  i guess that's the luxury of what normal people do when they don't have kids or work.
