We took some pictures of Lucy for her 6 month birthday.
I love this picture because it shows a side of Lucy that few outside our family get to see.
Duncan started calling her Rainbow Eyes because of this look, and it's so appropriate. :)
While listening to a Mormon Channel interview one evening, we heard the term "Rainbow Baby". While we chuckled at the term at first, we realized that Lucy actually was our Rainbow Baby.
In case you haven't heard this term, here is the definition of a Rainbow Baby-
A baby born after a miscarriage
(after the storm comes the rainbow).
We think it's quite a fitting title for this little girl.

Age: 6 months
We've got this one up on our family wall.
Natural poses and bloopers!
(ALL the super smiley pictures happened when Duncan came over to get her to smile for me).
We went to Christine Donnell to watch Duncan perform in a play, then afterwards, had a picnic out in the schoolyard.
Mother's Day treat at Christine Donnell.
We had a super duper awesome rain/thunder/lightning storm which we gave ourselves front row seats to so we could enjoy the show.
My Dad came into town for a visit.
These pictures are from doing the Table Rock hike while he was here.
Taking a breather.
Almost there...
We made it!
Grandpa's so nice to clean out the leaves from our rain gutters when he visits!
Mother's Day isn't complete without homemade chocolate dipped strawberries.
Yep, she's a keeper.
We went for a little Mother's Day walk after eating strawberries.
This is how Charlie ended up by the time we got home.
Celebrating the 9th birthday of our family with candles and cake!
Candid pictures of the wee ones:
The usual result of Charlie looking at books in the late afternoon (Zzzzzz), Lucy bouncing in the Johnny Jumper, and Duncan eating peanut butter and honey while wearing roller skates and sitting in a stroller.
Lucy had her first ride in the Cozy Coupe.
I love these pictures of the boys, it's easy to see the love they have for their baby sister.

Love...
This picture is from way back in February when Bobby and I put vinyl flooring in the kitchen. I added it here to show what the kitchen "island" space looked like previous to the upgrading we did.
Ta-Da!
Brothers being goofy.
Lucy's 6 month Dr's. appt.
Bear Lake time!
It's tricky to get all three of these little munchkins to look and smile at the same time so this was a golden moment.
We arrived at the lake before anyone else and had the place to ourselves for a little bit.
Venturing out to the cold lake to try out Duncan's fishing rod.
It was cold but that didn't stop these boys one bit!
This was also Lucy's first time to the lake.
After Bear Lake we stopped by my cousin DeAnna's house who lives outside of Logan to visit her and check out their darling little hunting dog puppies.
If we ever take the plunge and get a dog...
it will hands-down be a Vizsla.
