Trick or Treat!

Lucas wasn't as excited about his first Halloween as we were - we had to wake him up to get his costume on for the neighborhood picture! 

 

Our little Curious George!

 

 Lucas didn't like his hat as much as Zach did!

 Lucas and his good friend, Colby the "Tiger"...

We had a great Halloween despite the fact that we only had 4 trick-or-treaters!  We think all the construction around our neighborhood scared them all away...now what to do with the 700 pieces of candy that I bought?  Happy Halloween!

Three Months?!

Lucas is already three months old - we can't believe it!  He is holding up his head really well and just recently starting sitting in his Bumpo....

We are amazed at his constant development, yet at the same time wish he would slow down as he is not a little baby anymore.  He seems to really like daycare and comes home each day completely exhausted.  We are very lucky we found such a great place and feel so comfortable bringing him there each day.  The transition back to work has gone pretty well, although I wish working part time was a possibility.

The work on the deck continues rain or shine...

 



Back to Work Blues

 

I start back to work tomorrow and I have mixed emotions.  I really enjoyed my maternity leave and spending every day for the past 3 months with Lucas has been a true blessing.  I have learned watching him sleep in my arms can waste away the majority of the day and I have enjoyed every moment of it.  Forget the laundry or the dirty floors or dinner for that matter!  He is such a good baby and it is going to be so hard to be away for him tomorrow.  On the other hand, being a SAHM (stay-at-home-mom) is really tough!  It is a thankless job and I so admire the moms I know that do it every day (my sis and my mom!)

I got pretty far on my "maternity leave to-do list".  We went on countless walks and I even attempted to organize the mudroom.  Here is a pic of the curtains I made for his room that I finished yesterday....just in the nick of time!

 

 

 

 

And the work on the deck continues...
