Here’s something a little light-hearted on the political landscape. Get carving!

It feels like ages since I’ve blogged. It HAS been a long time. I apologize. I have no excuse. Just not much to say, I guess. And that’s OK with me. Some of you have gotten on my case about the lack of Lucy photos. We haven’t been taking many, but will likely rectify that a bit in the coming weeks (family visits, holidays, etc.). What else is happening here? I’m barely running at all (about twice a week) due to an old back injury resurfacing. I’m utterly riveted by the political landscape these days, but I won’t bore you with my thoughts. Plenty of other people are writing about this election in a much more intelligent way. Hmmm…what else? It feels like fall. The air is cool and the leaves are changing. I’m in the mood for heavy sweaters, cups of tea, and steaming bowls of soup.

By way of Lucy news, well, the kid is just pretty darn amazing. But if you’re reading my blog, you probably already agree! She is talking like CRAZY- all sorts of sentences and phrases are coming out of that little mouth. She says things like “I’ll do it!” and “I see it, airplane!”. I think her words may be too many for me to list anymore, though she’s recently added “sore”, “tail”, “lawnmower”, “working”, and “kitchen”. G and I are often amazed at her level of comprehension and expression. Continuing in the same vein, she adores animals of ALL kinds (dolphins! gorillas! lions! turtles!) and is quite the cuddler/kisser/snuggler. Let me tell you, this girl is going to be TROUBLE when she’s older. Oh, and she’s getting quite good at singing- current faves are “The Wheels on the Bus”, “Are you Sleeping ” (aka Frere Jacques), and “Itsy Bitsy Spider”. Again, sorry for the silence. We’re just savoring this deeelightful time with Lucy.
