and now we are one
February 28, 2013
Officially, Lucy's birthday is February 29. You can see the issues this causes. The house is split on the best way to handle it. I say we should celebrate on March 1; Maddy believes the proper date is Feb. 28.*
So look at the rest of this post when you feel you should.
Today (or tomorrow), Lucy turns one.
Photo snapped minutes ago. Now she is under my desk, hogging my space heater and making the whole room smell like mulch because she was just out digging in the mud. Oh, the glamour.
She still acts like a puppy, mind, snapping into fits of unstoppable enthusiasm for walks and socks. But she is settling down, too. She's a good girl, mostly, even if she makes us batty at times.
But we've come a long way from this...
... taken in May when we first got her.
And this...

* The other two people in the house have yet to voice an opinion.**
** In all honesty, we probably won't do much of anything (if we do anything at all) until Saturday, because this week has been a crazy one, what with Tech rehearsals and Scout meetings and homework and personal hygene.
