:) That's funny, mom! She's actually been rolling from her stomach to her back for a really long time, I just never filmed it before. She's never gone from her back to her tummy though, and I don't know when she will because she doesn't like being on her belly, so she never tries! What I'm most impressed with right now during "tummy time" is how she holds her head up and even lifts her chest off the floor a little.
...and with each passing moment. It was the hymn we sang at Evie's memorial. It's become a kind of theme song for us since losing our daughter. It's probably no coincidence that the songwritter Lina Sandell also experienced a tragic loss of her child. We experience both pain and pleasure, toil and rest. But we take life one day at a time: mourning her every day, but doing our best to live on.
After Evie got sick, there was something that felt good about writing out what was happening--to "tell our story" was cathartic. I'm hoping some periodic writing will have the same effect now that we are grieving her loss. Also we can use this to post pictures and write about all things in general to help ourselves remember that our life is going on.
Our second little one, Lucinda, arrived on July 5th 2009. She is the most inerestesting thing in our lives, so you can expect this space to be mostly taken over by pictures and updates about her!

Is she sticking out her tongue at you? Lucie, Lucie...
yep, she's a stinker!
she does not look like she feels sorry at all for that mishap...I think she is doing a "victory" pose.

Classic Mommy story:-)
Last night when Marv got home from golfing, I told him he had to come and watch the video of Lucie on her stomach.
He was yelling " Go Lucie, Go Lucie. Come on you can do it. "
Then when she rolled over he yelled, "Yayyyyy.....Touchdown."
Good going, Lucie.
P.S. I think your grandpa watches too much football.
