What we have been up to lately...

This is what we have been up to lately...

Lucas was sick again.  Two months in a row.  This time he had fever as high as 104.6!  Hopefully the trend will not continue like it did last fall.  He got sick once every month for about seven months.  Its exhausting.  You begin to feel trapped after a while. 

He actually fell asleep in this position.

 Mamaw and Pawpaw sent Lucas a really cool Buzz Lightyear as a "get well present."  Buzz is his new buddy.  He says "To infinity...and beyond" all day long.  Literally all...day...long!

Samuel is getting into everything.  He is squeezing into the smallest spaces and then getting frustrated that he cannot get out.  He has also been pushing me.  Yep, pushing me.  He does it most often when he wants to get into the cabinet under the sink.  If I am washing dishes and he wants to get in he will push me with all of his strength until I move.  It's kind of ridiculous how focused he is on his goal.

Samuel is adapting to his sippy cup.  Although he would sometimes prefer to throw it rather than drink from it.

 We have been having a lot of pony rides.  Our horse's name is Max.

Brian and I have been on a few dates.  We are really lucky to have a great sisters to help us out as babysitters.  Brian has been out of town so much lately that a night out is much needed for both of us when he returns.

Mornings and evenings have finally cooled down a little so we have taken advantage of outside time.  Samuel has been getting plenty of fiber while eating playground mulch. 

 Daddy and Lucas going for a walk.

 My sweet boy.
