Easter 2014

We had a great Easter weekend this year. On Saturday, we went over to Josh's cousin's house. This has become an annual tradition to go there on the Saturday of Easter weekend. A lot of his family travels in and stays with them and it is always a good time to catch up.

Sunday we woke up with the intention of going to church. However, Lucas was moving very slowly and by the time we were all dressed and ready for church, the service was already 20 minutes in. After we realized we would't make church and were all dressed up, we grabbed our annual Easter pic on the porch. That afternoon, my mom hosted her annual Easter celebration and egg hunt. Lucas loved searching for eggs and loved the candy inside the eggs even more.

Trip to Texas

We traveled to Texas in April to visit Josh's brother Jacob, his wife Ashley, and their girls, Aleyna & Abby. The girls had a joint birthday party that weekend which was nice, since we don't normally get to spend birthdays together. Josh's parents, his sister-in-law HeeJin, and the kids also came in for the weekend from Louisiana. It was a great visit and catch up.

In Dallas Airport - He insisted on being a big boy and carrying his backpack.

Lucas is 2.5

It is just baffling to me that our little boy is half way to 3 years old. I probably always sound like a broken record on these posts but seriously - where does the time go? The days are long and exhausting with a 2.5 year old but we wouldn't change it for the world.

At the ENT getting his ears checked:


Reading a Mickey Mouse book:

Swim Lessons

Lucas had his first swim lesson on March 8th. He is still part of the Toddler & Me class. Once he turns 3, he will eligible for the class that does not require a parent to be in the water. He really enjoys going each week and just loves the water.
