The Raspberry Era

Raspberry's are all the rage in our house right now! Not to be outdone, of course, by spit bubbles which go hand-in-hand with the raspberry's. Lucy's favorite new game is to do both of these things over and over. Then Mike and I crack up (and maybe do some back to her) which she thinks is hilarious and makes her do them even more. It's a vicious circle that we all think is too fun to break!!
I'll try to post a video of it soon - They're hard to get on film because she's still very suspicious of the video camera. We'll have to 'secretly' record them. :)

Back to work

Monday was Luciana's 1st day of "school". Here's a quick pic before the tears started (mine, not hers).
It's been really hard for me so far but I keep hearing it will get easier. It better, or else I'll be driving out to St. Clair Shores twice a day to bring her to my sisters house!!

My last week home :(

This is my last week home with Luciana. Starting Monday I'll be back at work.

I've been crying a little bit everyday as "D-Day" approaches. I do have to say though, I love her daycare and I'm really glad that we found it. It's in between our work and our house and only a few blocks from each (which means I can make frequent lunch visits). I'll be going up there tomorrow so I can sit in the room with the teachers and get a feel for what Lucy will be doing all day. I'm not going to 'talk' about it anymore for now because it makes me to sad....

On a happier note - Mike's cousin Jason got married this past weekend and we had so much fun seeing everyone! The wedding was so beautiful (although, you'll have to take my word for it since apparently we forget to take pictures). Luciana did great on the car rides there and back (it was in Buffalo, NY). She even got to visit Niagara Falls with Mike and I and her uncle David. Below are a few pictures we did remember to take!
