Lucy turns 3!

Lucy on her big day : )



It's hard to believe that it has already been 3 years since Lucy was born.  She was only 10 weeks old when we brought her home, a mere 17 pounds.  These past 3 years with her have been amazing and I can't imagine our life without her in it.  I can't imagine Ryleigh's life without her in it.  I love watching them put each other in their places.  Lucy has no problem knocking Ryleigh down (gently) when she needs to and Ryleigh has no problem sticking that little finger in Lucy's face and telling her off when she needs to.  Everyday she brings joy to us and we look forward to many many days with her!

We celebrated this year the same as last year.  We went to Maxie B's, a bakery here in Greensboro.  They have delicious cakes and of course, delicious pup cakes for our birthday pooch. 

Lucy was so excited that she somehow made it in the trunk!

MMMM...birthday pup cakes for Lucy

Ryleigh's birthday cupcake.  She picked it out herself.

I think she's enjoying it

Waiting patiently....

...Ryleigh says "I don't think so Goose!"

Lucy's birthday aftermath

...the food coma...

Lucy spent the rest of the night lounging around.  I'm sure those pup cakes created a nice little brick in her belly.  But she enjoyed it while it was happening!  Here are some of our favorite pictures of Lucy from the past year....Enjoy!!

she had found another use for Ryleigh's playmat
