Catching up... the week before Mother's Day.

I know, I know, I haven't blogged anything in awhile. My excuses: baby, teething, crawling, scrapbooking and new computer (did I mention teething?!). There are just sooo many things to do and just not enough time to do them all.

So, now let's go back to two weeks ago...
Tuesday, we had a fun lunch over at Sam and Olivia's house with the mom's group. Lucas sat in his Bumbo at the table with us while we ate. Since he is just so mobile now, we have to pack a lot of stuff when we travel. He finds it quite fun to push his toys around a new environment.

Wednesday was Aunt Brooke's 24th birthday. We celebrated at a small Mexican restaurant down off of 285 inside the perimeter. Lucas had a great time following all of the waiters around and playing with Pops.

Thursday we went to visit Grandma at her office and went out to eat at Bugaboo Steakhouse. The food was not that great, but Lucas was hilarious! They had all sorts of stuffed animals around the restaurant that randomly moved around and talked. Lucas really liked the talking moose and skunk that popped out of some waders. We sat in front of the fireplace which had a large black bear on the mantel. Lucas could not stop looking at it!!! We would be eating or holding him and he would randomly turn around to check on that strange thing above him.


















After a very funny lunch, we went back to Grandma's office to show Lucas off. He was in rare form and I think probably making a statement about how he did not want to be sitting in a chair or car seat. Lucas found himself a large bankers box and pushed it around the entire office. People were coming out of their office to watch this little 8 month old "working hard."










That night, Ben's parents came over for pizza and also brought some of Ben's old baby clothes. It was so much fun going through some of the things that Ben wore as a baby. I can't wait for Lucas to be able to fit in some of the outfits (especially the dental scrubs!) We all had so much fun watching Lucas play with some of the clothes too!










Friday, we rested around the house in order to get ready for Dawson County's Relay for Life. Ben's parents were Team Captains and organized a group to walk. It really is amazing and eye-opening to go to a cancer event and see all of the survivors and those battling the disease. There is nothing that will bring tears to your eyes faster than seeing young children fighting cancer. I'm glad that we were a part of the event and thank you MiMi for working so hard.
