Lucy is 7!

Last month (was it really a month ago?), we celebrated Lucy's 7th birthday. Due to the pandemic, we couldn't really have a party for her, but it was still an incredibly special day.

Lucy wanted "sprinkle pancakes" for her birthday breakfast.

We were able to have a small birthday celebration for Lucy outside in the yard. Her grandparents and cousins were able to come, and a parade of friends drove by to wish her a happy birthday. Everyone decorated their cars with signs and streamers. It meant so much to Lucy that her friends and family were there to celebrate her, even if we had to maintain social distance.

Happy birthday, sweet Lucy! Being your mom is such a privilege and such a joy! You are brilliant, courageous, and passionate. Your name means light, and that is what you are. I hope this year is magical for you!
