Unfit Parents

It's been a month and a day since our last post and we're here to admit that we have been shirking the photography aspect of our parental duties. Since our last post, we have taken a grand total of 3 pictures of Lucas (well, today, feeling guilty, we took like 10 more). I know, pathetic.

In our defense, we've been very busy. Jay continues his Minnesota Job Hunt; he's in the latter part of the search for an Upper Grade Dean position at a school in Minneapolis. We have already started looking into prices for moving vans, etc. Scary! He's also training for a half marathon and ran 12 miles today! Let's see if he can get out of bed tomorrow morning.

We are looking ahead to Spring Break in two weeks. We plan on sticking around L.A. to soak in the southern Cal lifestyle as much as we can before we go. We plan on taking Lucas to the zoo, hiking in the mountains, visiting some restaurants we've been dying to get to, and, especially to visit the many babies our friends keep having.

Elvira loves rolling Lucas' sleeves up so she can see his buff muscles!

Lucas is loving his stuffed animals and he's trying so hard to say "dog"...sadly, this is the closest he'll get to a real pet...even against Toni and Dara's strong advice:( Lucas is also plugging along in physical therapy...I mean, what's not to love, a roller coaster ride to stretch his hips and a morning Starbucks to motivate him to stand!

The poor little guy was sick all weekend with a fever and only wanted to rest on our shoulders. Looks like mommy was catching up on some rest as well. Hopefully Lucas will be nursed back to healthy after Toni sent home cartons of homemade food for the Deans. Karen had lunch with the Toni and Dara over the weekend, and, as usual, Toni had been cooking since Friday in preparation for our Sunday lunch. We are all very glad to have leftovers in the fridge!
