My Girls

The last weeks have flown and I can't believe my teeny tiny baby is already 7 weeks old!  Lucie is just loving her up as we all are.

We had a very fun visit with our friends from across the pond this month and Ben continues to demo something in or out of our home every chance he gets.  Life is good!

Welcome Eva Catherine!

Eva Catherine Revette was born on August 7, 2010 at 6:35 p.m. weighing 6 pounds 14 ounces and 20 1/4 inches long.  We were shocked that she decided to make her arrival 2 weeks early, but are so excited that she is here.  She is just perfect and so far adjusting well to life in Hamilton!

Big sister Lucie is doing great and I can't get over how much she LOVES little Eva!  Here is a photo of Lucie meeting Eva and one of the very proud big sister welcoming her little sister home.  Awww...we love sisters! 

Happy 4th of July!

Lucie watching fireworks at West Beach from Daddy's shoulders!  She loved the fireworks so much that when we went to the beach again a few days later she asked, "um...Mom...when are the fireworks?"

Summer on the North Shore

Lucie is loving life on the North Shore and her new house and yard.  She has quite the knack for getting us all soaked with the hose!  The last month has been busy with home improvement and LOTS of help from both Ben and Sona's families.  The hole in the foundation is all patched up and the rooms inside are coming along.  We're instituting a new rule that we have to take at least one little break from home improvement every weekend for a little bit of fun time!

We're Home!

We closed on our new home last week and have spent the last 10 days or so in MAJOR home improvement mode.  Ben has not only ripped off the old rotting back deck, but also found some crumbling foundation and created a new entry into our basement.  Hopefully the next house pictures I post will be of finished spaces, rather than demolition!

Lucie is TWO!

By request, Lucie had an ice cream cake for her second birthday.  I kept asking her what kind of cake she wanted and she kept telling me "ice cream cake."  I asked how she even knew that existed and Ben said it must be genetic!  Like mother, like daughter I guess!  Lucie had lots of fun making her own special pizza with Grandma KuKu and opening her many, many presents! 

Puppy Love

Teni and Chase's dog Mena has gotten to spend a little quality time at our house lately and Lucie LOVES having her around!  My mom took her to Lake Placid for the week while Teni and Chase are on vacation and Lucie has been asking about her constantly.  Just yesterday she told me, "Mena's the best!"  Maybe we need a puppy in our new home...

DC!

We spent last weekend in Washington D.C. visiting Uncle Johnny and Aunt Tracie.  Lucie had lots of fun running around the waterfront in Georgetown while we had dinner and drinks outside in the 75 degree weather! 

We went to the National Zoo and saw elephants, pandas, tigers, and more, though Lucie's favorite thing there was this stroller...

We also got to see our friends The Howarths.  Lucie and Olivia had so much fun playing together!

I'm Going to be...

In case you didn't quite catch Lucie's announcement...check out her new t-shirt (thanks, Blancos for the super cute idea). Baby Revette #2 is on the way! Estimated arrival date around August 22nd.

Our Little Performer

I have been a major blogging slacker, but in all fairness, I have been trying to capture a tune on video for close to two months now! The second I take out the camera Lucie stops what she is doing and says, "I want to see." I think she finally gets it now and was willing to perform a few of her fav tunes for me this afternoon. Check out her rendition of Twinkle, twinkle. She also does a mean Itsy Bitsy Spider and Happy Birthday, but we'll save those for another day.
