Lucas and I spent the afternoon playing outside! It was such a beautiful day to play! 10.30.06 

Lucas walked up and down the driveway, into the cul-de-sac, and across the yard, pushing his car! This boy is on the go!  

Woohoo!! This is fun! 10.30.06 

What a great weekend! Daddy, Mommy, and Lucas traveled down to Georgia to visit Grandma. On Saturday we drove to Americus to spend the day with aunts, uncles, and cousins. This picture was taken at the cemetery where Lucas's great-grandparents are buried. 10.28.06 

Lucas especially enjoyed playing with his cousins James and Joshua! 10.28.06 

I think sports are definately going to be in Lucas's future. 10.28.06 

Lucas and Cousin Alyssa took turns brushing each other's hair Sunday morning at Grandma's house! (Okay, so it was more like chewing on the brush....) 10.29.06 

Wow! Lucas had just taken three steps all by himself!!! Our big boy is going to be walking soon!!! 10.29.06 

Thanks Mimi for my new car! I feel so big riding around in it! I love you! 10.14.06 

One of Lucas's new favorite things to do is to play outside! 10.14.06 Lucas has so much fun riding around in the car Mimi found for him!  

One of the last days of warm weather. Lucas had a blast in his sandbox. Thanks again, Grandma! We love you! 10.05.06 

Lucas took his first REAL step last night!!! Here's what happened..... Last night, I decided to prepare a traditional southern dish, chopped steak with sauteed onions and gravy. Typically we avoid such fatty foods, but I think it's okay to splurge every so often. Mashed potatoes, green peas, and squash rounded out the menu. Lucas played on the kitchen floor while I prepared the food. We played "catch" with a rubber ball for entertainment until Lucas couldn't wait another minute to eat! (It was already after 7pm.) After giving him some grapes in his highchair, I picked up the pot of boiling potatoes, proceded to knock over the frying (hot) pan of meat, and spill grease all over my kitchen floor! Thank you Lord that Lucas was off the floor! I'm not letting my mind explore the possiblity of what could have happened if he was still under my feet. Fast forward through a clean kitchen, a vegetarian meal, and to us three playing "catch" on the kitchen fl...

We woke up to a cold, rainy, fall morning today. The perfect day to curl up with a cup of hot tea and a new novel. However, I have this urge to get out of the house, brave the rain, and go to Wal-mart! No, my love for Wal-mart has not grown out of control. Typically I only venture to wally-world when forced. But today I want to work on poster board signs for my yardsale coming up this weekend. And for that project, I need some poster boards. Perferably ones in bright, neon colors as to attract as much attention as possible. We have only gotten to use Lucas's sandbox a couple times due to the changing weather, but yes, he does love it. Hopefully some sunshine will head our way soon, so we can get back outside and enjoy this new season. Last night, we went to Kmart in search of a Halloween costume for L. Curious George was by far my favorite costume, but we couldn't justify spending $18 on an outfit that would be worn for only a couple hours. We did, however, enjoy using our co...

Annie steals a kiss as Lucas and Andrew play under the highchair. It's a good thing I just cleaned the kitchen floor! Right now the boys are eating lunch. It's hard to believe that Lucas is 13 months old now! His favorite book right now is "Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What do You See?". In fact, he woke up crying last night about an hour after bedtime only to be satisfied after I read him this book! This afternoon we are going to try out Lucas's new sandbox! 10.5.06
