Fun

If you were to judge how much fun you had by how dirty and or wet you got, then Lucas knows how to have a good time. These are most of the articles of clothing that Lucas has changed in and out of TODAY. What the picture doesn't show is how saturated the clothes are with dirty water.
But, I do have much to be grateful for. After much persuasion on my part, I have very recently convinced Lucas that he should wear clothing at all times. Anyone who has lived near us can attest to the fact that Lucas prefers his birthday suit.

Memorial Day 2007

I can tell we are getting older. Memorial Day use to be vacation- an opportunity to go and play. Now we spend it working, planting a garden, cleaning up around the house and topping it off with a BBQ with other thirty something year olds.

Memorial Day 2001

Ran across these photos taken 6 years today. We were in Utah for the summer- back from the islands. I was about three weeks away from delivering Isaac.

The culprit

Much to my surprise, I found out last night that it was not Lucas who put the knife on the baby mobile. It was...........Mike. Now that was shocking. What is a dad doing putting a knife in a baby mobile? And he was quite pleased with himself. He braggingly(is this a word?)told me how much Ariel enjoyed the new object bouncing around her head. I think this surgeon is a little too comfortable with knives!

Nightmare

Last night, Lucas woke up several times crying. Around three o'clock this morning he came and got in bed with me and Mike(which is a bit unusual). This morning after he woke up,he immediately wanted to know where Ariel was (not unusual). I told him she was on the couch in the family room. Lucas preceded to the family room where he found Isaac playing with her.
Lucas then said "Isaac, did you see me all tied up?"
I then said "Who tied you up?"
Lucas "The bad guys and they took Ariel to Kate's house."
