About time

So almost 2 months later, but better than never at all. I just noticed the last time I updated was when we returned from San Antonio. Yikes. It's easier to list the things that have happened since the last post, in no particular order. A lot can happen in a couple months!

1) Jer got the Special Assets Officer position-Congrats babe!

2) Lucas "mastered" eating baby food, still loves his formula more of course

3) My back does not feel like it has significantly improved, though I'm sure it has with the twice weekly visits (whenever I can squeeze it all in)

4) Lucas has gotten two teeth and loves to suck on our arm and eat everything
5) Lucas continues to pull hair, even harder now if that's possible

6) Jer and I just finished our final date (the 10th and last for this series) and are looking forward to continuing this awesome way to connect even when we are old married folks. For this date we went to Maggiano's on the prestigious North side. A few side notes on this one:

1) Note to selves: not a place to bring young kids, we were the only losers that did. 2) Another note to selves: do not make the night you go to a fancy restaurant the only night you forgot to pack extra outfits in the diaper bag. Especially when, 3) Your son produces the absolute motherload of diapers. There was poop on me, him, the changing table, the wall, it was crazy! All in a fancy restroom, I was waiting for the talking to die down and make the escape, then fanagled my way through lots of fancily dressed couples (that didn't include us), making my way back to our table with our son in his dirty poo-stained onesie, sans shorts-they were desimated. I had a burp cloth under him to hide the poop stains on his onesie. We paid and bolted out of there. Wow-that was a great date! :) You just HAVE to just laugh at that one! We sure did!

7) Meggan's 5th Birthday came and went (can you believe she's 5)?!!!?

8) Michele and Jas went to NYC and we got to "practice" at having 3 children. It was way fun! (Disclaimer: Of course, it was only for a few days). Lesson Learned: Minivans are now awesome, even though I know I once stated you wouldn't catch me dead driving one

9) Vintage Base Ball is now in full swing, with out of town games each week in June. The last weekend in June is the French Lick trip where it is "Adults Only". Yea! This will be the longest we've been away from Lucas. It will also be a blast!

10) Jackson Dale Huisman was born on May 31st to Crystal and Jesse Huisman. He was 20 inches long and weighed in at 9 lbs. 13.8 ounces.

11) We went to visit Crystal, Jesse, and Baby Jackson the weekend after she was home from the hospital

Anyway, here are a few pics from the past couple months, again in no particular order. Enjoy!

Here he is eating baby food...

Look at me...

Ready to go to Church...


Kung Fu, anyone?

Jordan and Lucas at Meggan's 5th Birthday party over Memorial Day weekend.

The kids decided it would be awesome to dunk their heads into the water bottle tub. Hilarious...and adorable. They had a blast.

The first night while Michele and Jas were in NYC. Jer looks worn out already! :

Bath time on Friday night-rubber duckies have many purposes...

Saturday morning brings a "Sleepover at Dawny's" tradition-making muffins. They both are great helpers! Lucas "helped" by watching over his cousins from his Hop 'N Pop

The trip to Iowa to visit Crystal, Jesse and Jackson. We arrived Friday night at 11:45 pm Central time. Lucas and Jordan thought some serious play time was in order. :)

Saturday afternoon at Uncle Matt's house

Lucas with Baby Jackson

This past weekend-3 can play at this game, right?

That's "all" folks!
