The "I Love Lucy" tour stops in Memphis (April 9)




On Wednesday morning, we went to visit Al's Grandma (Lucy's Great-Grandmother) Helen who lives in Bartlett. Grandma couldn't wait to hold her newest grandbaby!!

Grandma Helen's Grandmother was named Lucy. And Grandma Lucy's sister's name was Grace. So the name Lucy Grace lives on!!


Here are the other kids visiting Grandma Helen's house--Luke, Hunter, Aiden, John David. This is a rare moment when we were able to get them to slow down to take their photo. As you can see we needed more girls in the family.....Abby and Lucy will be very thankful for each other!!


Isn't this sweet--Two little ones rolling a ball back and forth. Believe it or not, but this lasted longer than we all expected!!


Daddo Tom rushed in to hold his newest granddaughter! Believe it or not but he beat Mamaw Jen inside and got his hands on her first!!


But it didn't take long for Lucy to meet her Mamaw. Mamaw doesn't look thrilled at all does she!? LOL! Let's just say that Mamaw held on to her longer than Daddo!

Sorry, Aunt Millie--I did not get a photo of you holding Lucy. We'll have to try again!!

Grandma Helen with one of her grandsons, AL and 4 of her great grandchildren. It was so nice spending the day with Grandma Helen (and everyone else that could stop by).

Lucy was tired after her quick trip to the Memphis area. Sometimes we are able to make the trip without stopping. However, with a baby that eats every three hours....trips become longer....well let's just say the trips become more relaxed. On the way down, we made it to Jackson before having to stop so we all ate lunch at Chick-Fil-A. And on the way back we stopped in Jackson again for Lucy to eat. Al and John David enjoyed their 45 minute stop at Target. Luke got to finish his nap in the car while Lucy ate a mid afternoon meal. All in all--Lucy traveled very well (as well as can be expected by a two week old baby). She slept well in the car except when it was time to eat!! We made it back to Kentucky in time for Wednesday night church. Al and I had the two and three year olds so we just kept Lucy with us. She slept just about the whole time. I changed her diaper and her cord stump fell off. So another milestone for Lucy!!

Great pictures -- notice how holding that sweet little girl makes everyone grin from ear to ear! So happy you got to introduce her to so many family members.
Love, Mom
