Busy.... Busy.... Busy!

I missed my weekly post the last couple of weeks because I have been busy. I had both kids home last week with the exception of Wednesday because I went to school and Charlene came over to watch the kids. I was at school last Thursday with both the kids and that night I attended open house. But as I told my coworkers and my sub I am done worrying about school now! My room is set for the time being and there are plans in place for the sub. Now, I am going to soak up my time with the kids for the next couple of weeks!

Two weeks ago Laura, Chris and Brooke arrived on Friday night. We enjoyed Stefanina's Pizza for dinner and when the kids went to bed we watched a movie. Saturday Aunt Marge and Uncle Jim joined us. We had a relaxing day and then the adults went out for dinner and some drinks. Sunday morning we made it down to the zoo. It was fun seeing some things that Mckenna and I have not yet seen this summer.

We really enjoyed the weekend with everyone. I have more to write about but not enough time today... I hope to write more tomorrow or over the weekend!

Love from the Lucas family!

WE HAVE TWO KIDS...

TWO KIDS...
 Two kids that we love to pieces and so far love each other just as much! (so we think!) It seems we have adjusted to having two kids in our house. We don't have any particular routine yet, which is to be expected. Mckenna has really been Matt's little buddy and has quite an attachment to him. She gets very anxious if Matt leaves and has had a hard time letting him go to work in the morning when he drops her off at Grandma Charlene's. Quentin has had more waking hours in the day lately. He seems to be awake for about an hour or an hour and a half after every feeding. Mckenna's screaming and playing doesn't seem to bother him and he is a good sport when Mckenna is trying to help put (shove) his binki in his mouth or help pat on his back.

Last weekend we had some Lucas family visitors. Kelly and Brian came in to enjoy some BBQ and quality time with the kids. Mckenna really warmed up to Brian this time. She drug him into her room and played with his phone. She also sat next to him on the floor while watching a "mojie" (movie). Matt's Uncle Tim and his family also came over. Quentin was held a lot and by the end of the day he was tuckered out!

Life has definitely slowed down quite a bit. The weather is still WAY too hot and we are all looking for a break so we can get out more often!

Have a great week! Love from the Lucas Family!
