At some point in the last month my iPhone stopped working and I lost all my pictures and video that normally help me to document the every day passing of time when I don't get my big camera out. Luckily my phone was still on warranty and I was able to get it replaced. I can now continue to document my life with my phone. I also made sure to log into the iCloud so that my pictures would be automatically backed up, along with my contacts, etc. I know you feel better knowing that. And now the govermnet can track me even more.
The sadness I feel is still very profound for the loss of beautiful Charlotte. Just know that as I post pictures of happiness, the grief is still very raw for my sister and her family. My heart is breaking for them every day. There is so much sadness but we do believe we will see Charlotte again and that she will be reunited with her family. I know Charlotte is watching over baby Alice and sweet Andon. She is their guardian angel now.
Before my last post in May, Lucy turned one month (she has since turned two months and 9 days but I am behind on my pictures). My sister has documented her son Lincoln in the most adorable way. I thought about copying her, but I don't really have the follow through that Jessamyn has.
She had the forethought to use the same blanket (that I made) and to position Lincoln in the same spot and dress him in the same onesie. She also had the forethought to tell me to do the same thing but I can't follow directions all the time.
I also can't take a straight picture. Just a reminder - My mom made this beautiful blanket for Lucy. Of course these little nightgowns don't fit her anymore so if I continue to copy my sister in this unsuccessful manner Lucy will be in a different outfit. Also while I can remember she is now past 2 months and weighs 9lbs 8oz. She is a tiny thing like her sister. I think she is in the 5-10th percentile for weight, 25th for height, and 50th for head. She has a lot of brains. Speaking of sisters, last night Lilly had her head in the baby carrier talking to Lucy and I asked her what she was doing. She said to me "Just hanging out, like sisters should."
On May 22 Lilly had her awards ceremony for her funnastics class. She had a great year of tumbling and hopes to participate next year. She was able to take this class with a lot of friends from school. Here she is with some of her closest friends from this past year.
Lilly (1st grade, 7), Alysson (2nd grade, 8), Alyssa (2nd grade, 8)
This year was a transition year for funnastics and they did not have a show. As a result they also did not have matching uniforms so I didn't feel a need for the group picture. However, when I arrived at the awards night I saw the picture and took a picture of it with my camera (I'm class like that) and then begged Miss Kim to buy the extra copy for $7. Parents are suckers for pictures of their kids. Anyway I need to at one point scan the picture and upload it, but I will post this one for now considering my extreme aversion to scanning and uploading.
Then one time we went outside to check out the work on our roof and a storm came and I was holding a baby. The end.
Oh and now that it is summer Jack says he doesn't want to wear a shirt he only wants to wear his tummy. Now that it's summer we let him wear just his tummy. The end (for real).

Beautiful children - they help to deal with the sadness of life.
I didn't know I had follow through, what a nice thing to say sister.
I love my little gymnast Lilly girl.
Enjoying my monthly catch up on Liz' blog time. What a fun way to follow your baby's growth!
So the neighbor boy kept coming over without a shirt on and every time I asked where his shirt was, he'd just shrug. Then his mom told me that he was sad one day that he couldn't get his nails painted, so to make him feel better ,she said, "Well boys can . . . go without a shirt outside in the summertime." So now he never wears a shirt. He's a man like Jack.
