Merry Christmas from Isaac and Lucy

Wishing all of you the merriest Christmas and a blessed new year!

The Olsons

Lucy creepy crawling

So, Mom, here is finally a clip of Lucy. Maybe now that my computer situation at home is a bit improved I'll keep you a little better updated! Isaac may or may not have on underwear, so watcher be aware. All I know is that my nearly perfectly potty trained son was having so much fun putting stickers from Aunt Crissie onto a box that he forgot how urgently he needed to pee (that part is not in the video-just the lack of clothing)!

Here's the link:

Thanks, Mom!

Spring is such a hopeful time in the garden--the earth is warming up, pests are scarce, plants are small but promising.

Mom, here are a few pics (now a bit outdated--everything's an inch or two taller, the carrots are even up, and the spinach picture is not cooperating). Thanks for helping me get it started.

sugar snap and snow peas

barely visible beets and swiss chard

An update

Well, despite the lack of posts we are still here...more in love with our little Lucy than ever!

Isaac continues to be gentle with his "little goose." No doubt we'll see some sibling roughness at some point, but we are enjoying the sweetness while it lasts.

Lucy (5 wks) going to church for the first time. What cute leggings--thanks Aunt Caroline. :)

Grandparents

Lucy and Isaac have been enjoying some grandparent time!

Isaac & Lucy

Thankful!

I am so thankful for...

a sweet new daughter, Lucy. Thanks to all of you who prayed for her safe arrival!



a loving husband who has taken excellent care of me (and Isaac and all the housework) in and out of the hospital.



wonderful friends (the Pfeifers and Bibos) who watched Isaac during our hospital stay.

a flexible big brother who is quick to give his new little "worm" and "sprinkle" (his pet nicknames for her) kisses. Pictures of Isaac and Lucy to come...

a kind mother in law and mother here/and soon to be here to help take care of us.

and a recovery that seems to be going more smoothly the second time around!
