HLB 12

It's that time of year again.....Happy Lucy's Birthday!!! This is what Lucy did for her sixth birthday, trying to cool down after a long romp in the park with her friends.
Now, Dear Readers, try to think back.....way back to what you were doing 12 years ago?
Kiki was attempting to beat the heat at the pool. The pop-up turkey tester says that Lucy is done. It was VERY difficult to keep smiling that week. It may be 112 degrees here in Scottsdale right now, but back then a week of 104 degrees and 98 percent humidity was enough to make anyone try to induce labor, especially those of us over two weeks overdue.

Lucy finally did make her appearance, all 9 pounds of her. Happy from the first, this is a shot of her smiling in her new home, which was warmer than her previous one (pictured above.....98.6 degrees all the time).

Here she is helping Dad get ready for work. Who has the better comb-over?

And at almost-12, here is our baby, still thrilled with hot weather on her birthday.

Lucy, we hope the weather is good for you today, and that you have plenty of air conditioning for your party.

Look how happy you were at your first one.

Oh, time goes too fast.

We love you, Lucy Jane. HLB.
