Lucas and I ventured north this weekend to visit my family in Buffalo. It was good to be out of Pittsburgh, even if it was only for a few days. I feel so much more centered when I am "home." To sit on my parents' back deck and enjoy the sunshine was wonderful! It felt nice only having to take care of the two of us and not having to worry about making dinner or picking up the house. And where else but home can you watch your sister laugh so hard she spits rice out of her mouth and I, in turn, laugh so hard at her that I almost have pop come out of my nose. Good thing my brother wasn't there or things might have gotten out of hand;)
Everyone was amazed at home big Lucas has gotten-my sister and her family haven't seen him since February. It was a big weekend for Lucas as he tried real food for the first time. He ate some pasta and gummed on those teething biscuits-he made a mess that is for sure. He was eying the Buffalo wings from Duff's but even I said those were a little too much for him right now. He loved watching Jake the dog and Jake was happy to sit at the bottom of the high chair, ready to catch anything Lucas dropped.
Marc missed us-not sure who was happier to see the other; Marc or Lucas. And once we were home, it was back to the routine-laundry, dishes, dinner, picking up the house.
