Catch up

Lucas is getting more fun by the minute... when he smiles at me, or hears his name and looks, or talks to Erik, it is truly awesome. I love him more and more and had no idea that was possible! We did dinner with the Kennedy's last night, that was fun! Both Kate and Lucas were wonderful and I need to remember my camera next time... so I can be "that mom"!

My AWESOME FANTASTIC WONDERFUL neighbor, Elizabeth kept Lucas for me two mornings this week so I could go make some sense of my classroom. I feel so much better about having everything unpacked. It isn't all the way decorated, but DEFINITELY headed in the right direction. I think I am getting more excited about second grade now that I have seen what my room will be like!

Look at Lucas in his big boy toy... which we are borrowing from Elizabeth.


My sweet hubby has been working himself silly lately, lots of long days and plenty of overtime! He still gets up with me when Lucas does in the early morning, though, with a smile on his face. For that, I am grateful.

We have planned a trip to Chicago (Lucas and me) so he can meet my parents' friends. I am really looking forward to it! It won't be until Labor Day weekend, but I know that will be here before I know it!
