A real swinger

Another reason to love Mimi and Papa's house is this new swing. Papa bought Lucas this swing last week and he LOVES it. I generally avoid the swings at parks because I can never get Lucas out of them without a major meltdown. He will swing for 45mins to an hour at a time. Glad Papa and Mimi are willing to push him that long!

Jam, but not the kind you put on toast

One of Lucas' new "hobbies" is looking for his toe jam. So gross, but so funny. Whenever he takes his socks off I watch as he spreads his toes apart and picks the sock lint out from in between them. I ask him what is between his toes and he matter-of-factly states "moe mam." Ahh, I love that kid!
I'll try to capture it on film. Priceless memories!

All Aboard the Choo-Choo Train

Because our little buddy is so obsessed with trains we spent Sunday at a steam train museum near our house. Lucas had such a great day riding and exploring. We'll definitely have to keep this place on our list of things to do every year.

Pulling the train whistle...toot-toot!

Peek-a-boo!

The Apple Orchard

On Friday we went to the apple orchard with our friends (4 Mommies and 7 kiddies!). This was a great place because it not only had a huge orchard full of yummy apples, but it also had a play area and a petting zoo. The kids had a great time.

2009 Family Photo Shoot/Lucas' Two Year

Yesterday evening we met my friend Kate at New Buffalo Beach to take some family pictures and Lucas' two year pics. Once again Kate did an amazing job. Lucas was a little irritable, but by the looks of the pictures, you would have never guessed it. Here are a few she got to me last night. I'll share more as they become available. Thanks, Kate! You are awesome.


My favorite pic so far. It makes me teary eyed.


Silly boy


There was a gorgeous sunset.
