Just an average day at the Grandparents house! We tried to enjoy the first really warm day in a looonnngggg time. Good thing we did because it is now cold again...almost snowing cold!

Weather aside, life is good. Luca is walking...no wait, I take that back...Luca is RUNNING... getting into everything, keeping us on our toes, and everyday I fall more and more in love. Even the one day a week I take him to Mrs. Mary's for the day I miss him...even when a small part of me looks forward to that day because I can work on my photography business and run quick errands without strapping a 30 pounder to my hip...I miss him:)

Today I feel like Betty-homemaker...Salmon and sauteed squash and zucchini, made from scratch beer cheese bread and my famous (only to my Alex) chocolate chip cookies (from scratch too!). I impress myself sometimes! Now that I'm writing this it sounds better than it was I think=) Come to think of it...I'm hungry...

And speaking of Betty-homemaker, I'll be attending my first sewing class this April...very exciting! After the class I plan on making Luca the most adorable pants, maybe some drapes (after living in our house for 3yrs), some pillow cases, and anything else my heart desires. I sure hope this 2.5hr class prepares me for all my heart desires!

Enough talk, more pictures! Here you go: 10 cents a ride...

 And then grandpa got out the tracker and boy did Luca enjoy that! He's all boy, that's all I have to say!

My birthday and Courts visit...

The best birthday surprise ever is to get home from a long day and find your best friend standing in the doorway! What an amazing weekend! Nothing beats that! Thanks for making the trip Court, can't wait to come surprise you=) And I'm going to have to sneak in a thank you to my amazing husband who got me such a cool bday gift...my new skiis...which make me miss Mammoth that much more=) Thanks! I love you guys!

Just before the new year Alex, Luca and I finally took our first trip to the world famous Indianapolis Children's Museum. Luca had a blast and despite the crowd we had a really fun time. We ended up buying a membership and I have been back once with just Luca...much less crowded and more relaxing. Our personal favorite was the merry-go-round and of course the Playscape. I can't wait to go back soon! I heard that there is going to be a big improvement to the Playscape in the future, so we're looking forward to that... On a different note, it was challenging to take good photos considering the indoor light...but anyway, you get the idea...=)

We are having such a great weekend here! Courtney surprised me with a visit for my birthday weekend...Alex surprised me with a new pair of amazing Vokyl Kenja Skiis and the whole setup and now the sun is shining in Indiana! What a great weekend!

Our little man is tearing the house up these days, almost walking...it takes a lot of muscle strength to carry around 30lbs! He's gettin' there though, soon enough and on his own time=)

Here is a slide show with some pics from Luca's 1st bday party. We had the BFF's over of course...Scarlett, Gavin and Wyatt!
