Grace & Lucy’s Web Log

Here’s our long overdue easter posting - the time it took to post is about how long it took to get the smell of eggs out of our apartment (or is that the place’s natural smell?). Either way, our success rate was about 3 to 1 - meaning for every three that got colored, only 1 was edible:

Here’s Grace showing off one of her masterpieces:

While Lucy may not have been the most helpful egg colorization specialist (I’m sure that’s someone’s professional title somewhere), she was certainly curious and even advised Grace on which one she should eat later:

And finally, to actually make the experience a little more rewarding, Grace and Lucy’s parents hid some plastic eggs filled with candy and gave the girls a chance to find them - although Lucy’s inability to sit up, crawl, walk, etc… means she pretty much got shut out in the egg hunt competition:

Not much of a competitor, Lucy decided to supervise instead:

We’ve learned that Lucy likes to assimilate to her environment. So considering that the back few rows of our church (where we usually sit) ressemble a youth hostel with the amount of sleeping that goes on, she thought it would be appropriate to sleep through most of her Baptism. Even the actual annointing barely got a rise out of her - although it did get her sister Grace to loudly applaud and pick her nose:

As with so many events involving Lucy, the “passing of the baby” is generally a requirement - first to her godmother Anne, then to her godfather John, back to her mom, then to her dad and, in the end, it all leads to the same result. A rather restful sleep:

Sometimes it’s shocking to learn that you’re one step closer to reaching a major life milestone - like sitting up. For Lucy, it was…well…shocking:

Eventually she warmed up to it and decided to give us her best lounge singer imitation.
