Lucy turned 8 years old April 21!  I can't believe how fast the time has gone.  I wanted to pay tribute to Lu Lu by letting you know a few things about her that you may not know!

She is in Phoenix Children's Chorus!  She had her 1st performance April 19th @ Westminster Village in Scottsdale.  She did an awesome job!!!

She loves to dress up!  Halloween costumes are carefully selected so that they can be reused all year long!

She is TOTALLY a BEACH GIRL!!!  She should live in California for sure!  She can get to the beach @ 10am and we're dragging her out of there for dinner!

She is an excellent big sister!  For two years straight she ended her prayers with "God Bless for a Baby Girl."  So, she basically begged for Emma!  I guess Will doesn't look as good in makeup as she had hoped!
She has THE BEST sense of humor!  It's actually pretty grown up for such a young girl.  Living in this family she definitely needs it so Thank God she has it!

She doesn't like cakes, pastries, candy & most sweets! (No kid o'mine!)  But she LOVES ice cream!  Favorite flavor - Coffee!

She doesn't want her own kids! She will play with Will's (since he said he's having about 10).

She and Will fight like crazy but they miss each other if they aren't constantly together!

She is so beautiful!  She has a great sense of style!  From day one she knew how to put herself together!

On her birthday I received an email that made me think of Lucy, Will & Emma!  So, here it is and Happy Birthday Lucy!  I love you!

We convince ourselves that life will be better after we get married, have a baby, then another. Then we are frustrated that the kids aren't old enough and we'll be more content when they are. After that, we're frustrated that we have teenagers to deal with. We will certainly be happy when they are out of that stage. We tell ourselves that our life will be complete when our spouse gets his or her act together, when we get a nicer car, when we are able to go on a nice vacation or when we retire. 
The truth is there's no better time to be happy than right now. If not now, when? Your life will always be filled with challenges.

It's best to admit this to yourself and decide to be happy anyway. Happiness is the way.

So, treasure every moment that you have and treasure it more because you share it with someone special, special enough to spend your time with..... And remember that time waits for no one.
