Philosophy

Grandchildren are your reward
for not having
killed
your children.

This little lady (the small one) is named Lucy Aurelia and is grandchild #7. If I remember correctly, that's a magical number (as long as there are no horcruxes involved). Makes me wonder what the numbers 1 and 2 will mean to her--but 2 especially.
In 11 years her birthday will fall on 2/2/22.

And what about other Lucys?

There's Lucille Ball, course.

Or Lucy Maud Montgomery.

There's Lucy in Moonraker's Bride

And of course Lucy from the film While You Were Sleeping.

So what other famous Lucys do you know
that my newest little granddaughter will be keeping company with?

  2. She's beautiful, Donna!

    One of my favorite Lucys is Lucy Pevensie from the Chronicles of Narnia.

    (and how about Lucy Van Pelt from Peanuts)

  4. Thanks, Colene!

    Suzie and Ian, haha. All the family suggested Lucy Pevensie, too, and hubby suggested Lucy Van Pelt. We argued about whether or not the latter was a good role model:

    "You didn't answer me right away. You had to think about it first, didn't you? If you really had thought I was beautiful, you would've spoken right up. I know when I've been insulted. I KNOW WHEN I'VE BEEN INSULTED."

    Lucy Van Pelt is SUCH a girl!

  6. My great grandmother was Lucille, but I don't think she ever went by Lucy.

  7. Yeah, it's way better pay back if you don't. :)

    She's so beautiful. And the first Lucy that came to mind was Lucy Liu, (actress).

    Congratulations, and wait a minute, you don't seem old enough to even *have* gandchildren!

  8. You're too kind, Kimberly. My oldest will be 12 this year. I can lie to myself, but the age of the grandkids are the true proof.

    And you're right about not having killed my kids. Now that my kids are out of the terrible teens, they're fun again. =D

    Lucy Lui came to mind when I was searching images for Lucy. Um ... I never realized Lucy was such a sexy name. o_O

  9. Yay! Welcome Lucy!

    My favorite grandchild quote: If I knew grandchildren were this much fun, I'd have had them first!
