Good ole Kentucky

What a great weekend!! I got to see two great college friends I hadn't seen in a long long time!! Gary, Lucas and I headed to KY Saturday morning to see Jen and her husband Chris for their baby shower. Jen is an adorable pregnant woman! Poor thing though, she is in her last month and she made it well known she is ready to have this baby here and out of her!! I can't wait to meet the little guy! Lucas was quite the character for everyone. He loves to be in the spotlight so he really hammed it up for them.

Then, Sunday we headed over to Meghan's, my college roommate, who I haven't seen since Lucas was an infant!!! And, I've never met her adorable children!! When I say adorable, that is an understatement! I loved her kids! That Maggie is hilarious!! I thought Lucas was cute, but this girl definitely gives Lucas a run for his money. And, Owen has these dimples that you just want to squeeze! The visit was extremely too short! So, as soon as she can get her butt in gear and get the house in order we will be back down (that was sarcasm Meghan, b/c I can hear you now "Oh my gosh Val ..."). It is just so fun to be able to catch up with Meghan. We are never short on words. And, her house is adorable. I especially love the play room for the kids. And, they are building me a suite in the basement. Isn't that nice of them?

The drive wasn't bad either. I drove there b/c I was so anxious and I'm a terrible passenger. Gary drove back b/c I was exhausted from lack of sleep. And, Gary, by the way, was wonderful the whole time even though he didn't know anyone. He really helped me Saturday night when I couldn't get Lucas to sleep. He recognized by the time night time came, my energy with Lucas was spent. And, he laid with him and helped calm him down. He even slept on the floor in a sleeping bag even though he has had a cold the past week. And, Sunday, Lucas didn't quite make it to the toilet, and Gary changed him. Grant it, Gary changed him with yesterday's underwear and put his pants on backwards, it was definitely the thought and effort that counted.

This is just a silly pic of Luke. He did this to himself! My little Erkle! He has such a good sense of humor.
