Birthday bash




We celebrated Lucas' first birthday with friends and family this weekend. My parents and sister and her family all came down from Kenmore. They were here for only a day and it was sad to not have more time with them. Lucas loves his Kenmore cousins. I had also hoped that the Pittsburgh and Kenmore cousins would have played more together but they weren't interested in that. Oh well. Lucas got lots of loot and I have finally narrowed down his keep and return for different size piles. What a chore! I spent so much time getting everything ready and when the day finally got here, it was all over with before I knew it. If only my labor had been that way . . .

I was just really annoyed at my in-laws. They didn't help us clean up at all. My family wanted to help more but they needed to get on the road. And they had helped me the day before and even during the party. But Marc's parents only had to go to Home Depot to pick out paint. Nothing too pressing. His dad had the nerve to say to Marc yesterday when we saw them, "Boy you look tired." Well what do you expect when you have to clean up after 20 people and take care of an almost one year old?

Lucas didn't know what to make of his cake-he liked to feel the frosting between his fingers but wasn't too interested in tasting it. I put some in his mouth and he did manage to grab a piece of cake but no great smashing or mess.

Pictures to come soon I promise!
