Another Typhoon Day

Last night Pete, Lucy, and I went to bed with the wind howling through the windows and our air conditioning unit that connects to the outside. It was already a Typhoon 8, but we figured it would pass by morning. So, it was a nice little treat to wake up (although neither one of us slept well last night with all the noise) and find out that school was canceled for a Typhoon Day! As long as we are all safe and sound, I will always take a free day with no work.

Lucy is "reading" to herself these days. She goes through her books page by page, saying something that I am sure makes sense to her, and then turning the page. Her teacher parents are very happy. As you may be able to tell from the picture, she still has to work on getting the book right side up sometimes.

It's hard to get a pic these days where Lucy isn't making a face.

How's this for a face? She's climbing up on the bed in this pic.

Tonight she had stew for the first time for dinner. I have to admit it was pretty good (thanks Mom for the tips!) We had to document Lucy's mess - it was a record breaker. A bath was a definite must tonight.
