Productive Weekend!

This weekend was pretty slow around the Lucas house. We stayed in much of the weekend! Saturday I painted the bathroom and Matt hung the new towel bars. Sunday we went to church and I painted the area behind the washer and dryer. They both look really nice and give a boost to our house!

Mckenna spent much of the weekend playing!

Still loving life! Have a good week!

A Quick Trip

Friday night Mckenna and I decided to travel to Iowa for the weekend. I had Monday off and Laura wanted my expertise in registering, so we packed up to surprise everyone! Laura cried and Mom's jaw dropped to the ground so it made the 5+ hour drive worth it! Sunday Laura and I registered for that little baby girl Meade while Mckenna went to Great Uncle Jim and Auntie Marge's house. Laura and I had a good time looking at all of the latest and greatest baby items! Sunday night Mckenna spent some much needed time with Grandma and Grandpa VonBon. Matt stayed home to celebrate John's birthday. While I was gone he worked on our bathroom. It looks great! All it needs now is a fresh coat of paint!

Mckenna's new trick! She is starting to hold the bottle on her own!

Uncle Chris and Mckenna had a ball playing together!

 Grandpa VonBon put Mckenna to sleep on Saturday night! They were all snuggled up and warm! 

Boppy, Binki, Bumbo, Bottle....

four words we use on a regular basis around here! For those that have not been in babyworld for some time let me tell you... a boppy is a pillow like thing shaped in a c; a binki is how we refer to the pacifier; a Bumbo is a seat looking thing that gives a beginner at sitting up support; and a bottle, you know what that is! I was thinking about this as I was following my afternoon routine. I come home from work, pick up the living room, do the dishes, throw Mckenna's PJ's from the previous night into the laundry and then most nights I start the laundry as I anxiously await Mckenna's (oh and Matt's too) arrival. Wow the adventures and life changes you can have in a year! Yes, it was about a year ago, this weekend, that we found out Mckenna would be changing our lives forever!

So, an update on Mckenna. She is not rolling over yet, she doesn't even seem like she wants to anymore. When she gets upset she will dig her heals in and act like she is going to roll but she gives up! She is growing, however, Matt and I don't notice the physical growth as much as the growth in her motor skills. She is really noticing things. She will play with our faces and it seems like she is getting VERY vocal. Little screeches and sticking her tongue out and spitting! :) LOTS of smiles and she seems to be a very HAPPY baby! We are having fun showing Mckenna how to play with many different NEW toys!

WE ARE LOVING LIFE!!!
