Daddy?

I think Lucas looks so much like Chad in this picture. Most of the time, I think Lucas looks like me and not Chad - but in this picture, I see his daddy!

We're moving....

just not sure where (somewhere in Chicago though)....or when (within a few weeks). But we are in the clear to close on our condo. Yeah! We'll keep you posted!

just some random pics ~

Happy Easter!

We had such a fun Easter this year. Holidays are so fun with a toddler. The Easter bunny brought Lucas an Elmo Easter basket and some goodies. We went to an Easter egg hunt at a city park and to our surprise, it was an indoor egg hunt. It was in a gymnasium with tons of push toys, plastic eggs all over the floor, and the Easter bunny. Lucas loved the push toys, didn't know what to do with the eggs, and didn't even notice the Easter bunny. The park was next to the lake so Lucas took his first stroll on the beach. It was great.

Funny thing...

Although the weather is crappy right now (rain, cool, windy) it was beautiful in the beginning of the week and we had our windows open. Chad came home one evening with a "surprise" for Lucas. He reached into his coat pocket and pulled out a little pink piece to one of Lucas' toys that he found on the busy sidewalk outside of our building. Lucas dropped the piece from our window! The screen was out because the windows were washed and although we have interior bars, there is plenty of space to get his little hand, and arm, out the window.

I hope that the piece didn't fall on anyone passing by!

home sweet home...

I never knew that selling a home can be so stressful. Currently, we are still under contract but the deal has felt like it almost died a couple of times. One moment we are super excited about leaving and moving into a bigger place, the next, we accept the fact that we may be here for awhile and remind ourselves of the benefits of staying in our cozy (way too small but conveniently located) condo, then back to the other side again...I've decided that I need to try to stop thinking about it.

BUT, I'm a little worried...here I go again...that the change might be stressful to Lucas. This is the only home he's ever known and because we are close to Chad's work, he gets to see his daddy everyday at lunch. However, he definitely needs his own room. I mean, Chad and I need our own room! I am embarrassed to admit this, but we have been sleeping in the living room (me on the couch and Chad on the floor on couch cushions) since December. We started doing this because Lucas was waking up so often in the night. Although we don't have to get up with him in the night anymore, he makes noises when he sleeps and literally his crib is one small foot from the foot of our bed and we wake with every sound. And if he wakes and sees us in bed, it's all over and everyone is awake.

Chad and I are dreaming about what life might be like with two bedrooms. We found an apartment in a neighborhood here we like. It is certainly no house in Boise, unfortunately, but it will do. I'm not sure we will get it because our closing date has been postponed for a couple of weeks, but if we do, I'll post some great pictures!!!

It's finally warm!

So we've been havin' us some fun at the park!
