Lucas eating his first ice cream sandwich. He loved it, of course! So I came home from church one Sunday afternoon to find THAT thing over our bed! Matt was given the um, head, as a joke and decided to surprise me with it. I was not amused. It now adorns a wall in our carport until Matt can decide what to do with it. I can eat with my eyes closed! Can you? (Don't you love the hair?!) Lucas loves playing in Daddy's trailer. He can entertain himself in it for at least 45 minutes while Daddy works and Mommy takes a break! We all love Daddy's trailer. :)

Lucas and I had tons of quality time together at the motel and even went swimming a few times! Mimi and Poppy bought L this adorable swim/floatation outfit! Here he is posing in his new sandals! Lucas loved being in the water - I think he's going to be a natural! Someone asked me if we were Canadian since he was so white! ha Here we are at one of numerous stops during the drive home from Orlando! I think it took us 11 hours!

I love all of the changes in my diet; I simply feel so much better. Matt hasn't embraced the changes as easily, so I'm slowly dragging him into it. Don't get me wrong -- I have been consumming way too much Easter candy the past few days, so I'm far from perfect with it comes to the diet. I also started and quit my first "real" part-time job in almost 2 years! About a month ago, I overwhelmingly felt that I needed to get out of the house and earn some money.
