Chicago or Bust

Lucas and I ventured via the friendly skies to Chicago this past weekend! It was fantastic. I was fortunate that both the flights were on time. Much to my pleasure, he did wonderfully on the flight! He is a remarkably laid back and content little boy. This is Lucas giving Erik kisses good bye.

My parents hosted an open house welcoming Lucas to Oswego. It was so much fun to meet the friends of theirs I haven't met, see the ones I have met, and have all of them meet Lucas. One of the most special guests was Chrissie. She and I went to high school together and then somehow she ended up living about 45 minutes away from my parents!! How cool! I loved seeing her and catching up. It is always sooo easy to catch up with her. We laughed, we giggled, we CRACKED up. It is what we do, and it was just what the doctor ordered, I had been missing her!

While we were in Oswego, Lucas rolled over from his back to his stomach! YAY! My dad actually got it on tape, how awesome is that?! I am so impressed with my strong little guy, he constantly amazes me.

My parents made it so easy on me. They provided EVERYTHING sweet Lucas could ever need and plenty of it! He had a room all ready for him, too! (The crib that David and I slept in when we were babies is in it, I love that!) There are toys and books and my mom made the most fabulous quilt for him to play on. (I took that home for him to enjoy on a daily basis!!) I am the luckiest girl I know. Not everyone's parents do what mine did (and always do), for that I am forever grateful!

The weekend was a whirlwind of kisses and hugs from Nonnie and Granddaddy and not nearly long enough; however, it was a perfect little get away!
