Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving week was filled with lots of family, food, and fun -- don't forget the alcohol! Grandma, Papa, and Aunt Jana came to town.

We had a fabulous Thanksgiving feast -- I think every night of the week was Thanksgiving!

We had a great big ol' bird -- which gave us lots of leftovers.

Lots of good family time.

Celebrated Lucas' first birthday -- He loves to sing (and to hear) "Happy Birthday!"


Grandma and Papa got him a wonderful red wagon.

Which will get LOTS of use.

A shape sorter -- which keeps Lucas entertained for hours (ok maybe not hours:)


His first baby -- which he gives lots of kisses.

And the most favorite -- the puppy... of course.

Lucas at the Gym

He's the white dot in the middle...

And of course he gravitated toward the play house...

Happy Birthday Lucas

Lucas turned 1 today. It was a beautiful sunny day, much like the day he was born. We spent our day together, just the two of us. I thought mostly of this same day last year. Words can't describe it. His birth was a wonderful experience and I am so happy that my little baby is now one year old. It was a beautiful day.

We spent the afternoon at Lucas' favorite place - the playground.

Daddy's gift

This is what Randy gave to Lucas for his 1st birthday.

It's a giant blow up dog ball pit. I don't know who likes it more, Randy or Lucas?

Rainy Dayz

Lucas and I found a great indoor play gym for kids 5 and under. It's a preschool that has open play at different times during the week. He had a great time with all the fun stuff and of course with the other kids.

Obama for President

Its a good day.

Halloween weekend

Aunt Jana came to spend the weekend...we made Hamburger soup, cupcakes, and ate lots of kit kats.



Then it was a Halloween miracle when Daddy showed up on the doorstep, just in time to carve the pumpkins!



They were some sad looking pumpkins, but Lucas enjoyed them.




On Sunday we took Lucas to the Seattle Aquarium.














We had a great weekend!
