Far too much.

So much has gone on since I've written on here and the thought of posting it all is kind of overwhelming. I guess I'll do my best! We are in Portland now and have been so for over a month. It has been an eventful month indeed. We have had a lot of fun spending time with family and everything. It's also been such a blessing to have such willing babysitters on demand. We have definitely been taking advantage of it too! Lucy is officially weaned too which is wonderful because she has gotten to have 2 sleepovers at my mom's house. One of those nights we got to go camping which would have been a disaster with her since she is refusing to walk. She can definitely walk she just chooses not to. I wouldn't really care other than the fact that I know how much she would love to be running around everywhere with her cousins. She will randomly stand up completely on her own and walk across the room like it's no big deal but won't use it as her main form of transportation. She's been able to take steps on her own for about 6 weeks now. Oh well she'll figure it out soon enough.

Anyways the biggest event of the last month was probably Lucy's birthday! I can't believe this year has gone by already. We celebrated by taking a family trip to the beach. The weather was absolutely amazing! I've never had that great of weather on the Oregon Coast. It's a very rare treat! I dressed Lucy warm because it was supposed to be cold and overcast so when we got there I just had to strip her to her diaper. We had a lot of fun together as a family. After the beach we went back to my mom's for some pizza and presents from her. The next day was Saturday and we had a birthday party for my side of the family. The party went really well minus Lucy's very large freak out when we tried to do the cake. I don't know what's wrong with my child but she does not like cake whatsoever. She loves ice cream though. The whole thing was a disaster but it all calmed. The next day we had the party for Kyle's side. She still refused to eat the cake but it was not accompanied with ridiculous amounts of screaming and tantrums. All in all her Birthday weekend was a huge success. She got away with a crazy amount of loot from the ones who love her most. Thank you to everyone who helped out and came to celebrate with us!

That's all I got for now and I'm too lazy to upload pictures so a picture post will shortly follow sometime when I feel like it.
