Our first post!

Well it is about time!?! I have been saying that I was going to do this for MONTHS now and I finally sat down and made it happen!!! A couple of our good friends have these blogs to help friends and family stay in touch with their day to day lives since we don't see each other all of the time. So I have to join in and steal the idea as well :) I am going to try and update it a few times a week so be sure to check back often! Who knows what we will have in store for your reading/viewing pleasure....

We celebrated Todd's birthday (he is getting up there ;) just joking honey, love you!!!! ) Tuesday by venturing out for dinner. We really wanted to go somewhere nice BUT since we are out in King William it takes a little while to get to the nicer restaurants now! So since we had to take care of the pups and keep Lucas on his fantastic schedule, Mechanicsville it was! Todd chose Cracker Barrel for the short wait, pretty decent food, quick service...

I wish we would have taken the camera cause Lucas was too cute! This was his first experience sitting in a highchair out. He got sooo excited the minute he was strapped in and pulled up to the table. We gave him his toys and he went to town. He is such a little flirt! I think he tried to get the attention of every lady sitting anywhere near him, and he accomplished just that. The sweet woman next to us must have picked up his toys 10 times! And I'm telling you, he dropped them methodically right next to her :) She loved every minute of it though. Both Todd and Lucas loved the food, like father like son. :) I turned around for a second and Lucas' hand was in my pile of green beans! So we shared my green beans, mashed potatoes, and cornbread. He LOVED it all, not so much the pureed sweet potatoes we brought for him to eat. Looks like he would rather have the real stuff vs. that baby food, at least with us. He eats great at "school" :) Actually he has been dubbed the "eating machine" around there! So much for that little baby!

Since I didn't have the camera out that night I attached a picture of him eating a leftover cornbread muffin yesterday. We went home and gave Todd his gifts and relaxed the rest of the evening, all in all I think he had a great birthday! We are going to go out with some friends this weekend to continue the celebration hopefully. Todd has had some kind of bug this past week or so that he can't seem to get rid of .

Hopefully a good, restful weekend is in store! Hope you have a great one! :)
