Today we got to finally have Nate’s birthday pancakes. Crazy school day mornings just don’t work very well for our family tradition.  Afterwards, Lu crashed out. I guess she is making up for her many sleepless nights.

 Sam had to help me run my crazy shopping errands today. And on Saturdays, with Sam comes Lu. 😊 She was such a good patient girl. We went to the eye store, Sams, she went to Grandma’s, and then they both came to the grocery store to bail me out of my oblivion shopping trip. I thought I could handle Walmart just fine. I have been there millions of times and know where everything is. 😳 I might know where everything is, but reading the labels to make sure I got the right item took me FOREVER! Sam and Lucy came to the rescue after 2 hours of me wandering around. I felt like a complete idiot! Luckily Lucy held it together until the very end at the checkouts. She had been so many places, she was done! When we made it home, all she wanted to do was play with her train. Emily gave us this little alphabet train from Quinn and Miller. I think it has now become one of Lucy’s favorite toys. She squeals when she sees it, and cries when you walk by it without letting her play. She is now enjoying riding on it. I don’t think it will be very much longer before her feet can both reach the ground so she can make it go.        Lucy loves to try and put the pieces in the slots.  She’ll play with it so long, the dog gets jealous of it. 😆  At least it makes Lucy happy!
