Everything but the kitchen sink...

That's what I feel like this post will be like, because I am SO FAR BEHIND on the blog!! Life in the Ledbetter Lane has been wonderful, but also a bit crazy these past few months. Since I'm not sure where to start, I will just post a few things from each month, how's that??!! :) *FEBRUARY: WE MOVED!! Ted accepted a position at The University of Colorado in the athletic dept. A great opportunity for him and for our family...we had approx a month to find a place in CO, pack our condo in MI (thankfully we had the help of a moving company to haul most of it) and drive 20 hours across the country with an almost 7 month old (who by the way was a rock star in the car). Poor Lucy she did well for about 18 of the 20 hours...the last 2 she pretty much wailed (Ted and I felt the same way...GET ME OUT OF THE CAR!!!) We will miss MI, but we are excited about our new adventure in CO. *MARCH: Lucy turned 7 months old on March 3rd! :) We also moved into our new place. Both grandmas got to visit and be here in March which was lots of fun! They were both huge helps. March Madness is always celebrated like a holiday in our household. However, Lucy and I were out before we could blink (I picked Mizzou and she picked Duke to win it all). Ted picked NC, so at least his team was in it for awhile. *APRIL: Lucy turns 8 months old on April 3rd! :) We had a wonderful Easter celebration at church followed by great food and fellowship with some friends we've met here. Opening Day...GO YANKEES! (And Tigers! And Rockies! And Cubs!) We have a lot of teams to cheer for, ha! Lucy and I went to story time at the library...she loved it!! Ted and his dad went to the Tom Petty concert...check that off the bucket list :) Lucy is crawling AND pulling up...needless to say, it's time to start "Lucy Proofing" the house, ha! She is growing and changing all the time, and is VERY verbal-she makes all kinds of sounds. But the best is that she can say "dada" which Ted just loves! Lucy loves to read and go for walks. She also loves to swing at the park. And bath time is usually a big hit! Blog readers, thanks for hanging with us...we'll see you again soon (I promise!)
