3 Years

Lucy had a very busy and exciting summer, as she moved into her new house in Wendell Falls. (Her one request was pink walls for her room.)Our annual Mother’s Day tradition continued with strawberry picking at Vollmer Farm, and Lucy again visited Coach and Grandma on Lake Chautauqua for the Fourth of July. She even got to ride a miniature horse!

Lucy spent the month of July with her daddy, and they spent lots of time at the community pool and the Wendell public library. She loves Wendell Falls’ community cafe and its specialty, grilled cheese and potato chips. At the end of July she got to spend a couple days at Wrightsville Beach before her first day at her new preschool, Central Baptist, in Wendell.

In August Lucy watched the eclipse at the Museum of Natural Sciences in downtown Raleigh and began taking two classes every Thursday–soccer at school and ballet/tap at Heather’s Dance in Knightdale. Unsurprisingly, she loves both!

September saw Lucy spending time with Mimi while her parents went to Charleston for a long weekend, and in October the whole family went to Mt. Airy in western North Carolina for mommy’s birthday weekend. As her third birthday neared, Lucy returned to Vollmer Farm’s pumpkin patch to play in the corn and catch an outdoor screening of The Lion King.
