Visitors from Louisville

This weekend we hosted some old friends and their two kids. Dan made a delicious leg of lamb using an awesome Indian recipe. Sunday morning breakfast we were also treated to homemade biscuits! We took a walk this morning and then the Reigelmans were off again, back to their beloved home of Louisville. I was struck by the delight that Lucas showed spending time with other young people. He was very into playing with his two new friends and he did a good bit of sitting up and being quite a big boy for his age (he'll be 6 months July 11). Now he is napping and his mom is about to do the same thing as soon as she gets these photos up.

Lucas and his Great Grandmother, Mildred

Lucas and I stayed with his great grandmother last weekend when Dan went on a canoe trip. We had a nice visit. Lucas was a well behaved guest and slept well. He likes hanging out with his great grandmother, as evidenced above.

It's a summertime thing....

Well, it's summer... I am sure of it because Lucas is sitting on our newly constructed deck in only a diaper and I am in my short shorts drinking a Modelo especial, typing this message and working to prevent Lucas from disassembling his swing.

Lucas has met many milestones as of late. He is into throwing things on the floor for us to pick up. He likes to gab about nothing in particular. He is really into the dogs and the cat. He is starting to lift his butt up quite a bit during tummy time leading us to believe that he will soon be crawling. Even without crawling he can get around pretty well, although I am not sure where he winds up is where he intended.

Overall he seems happy, healthy, and very cute as the photos above will attest.
