New ride

Lucas has a new ride at Gigi and Papaw's house. It's a John Deere "Alligator". He loves it. I think that him and Papaw are going to use it next time he's there to haul bricks.

Oh Christmas Tree

We put our Christmas tree and Santa brought a visitor to keep Lucas company. Lucas loves the Christmas tree. He's watching all of the Mickey Mouse Christmas movies over and over now. The morning after we put the tree up, a package appeared under the tree. It was for Lucas. Santa sent an elf to watch over Lucas to make sure he's good until Christmas. Lucas named his elf "Austin". Austin travels back to the North Pole each evening and reports to Santa about Lucas' behavior. He travels back each morning and lands in a different place every day. Lucas loves looking for him. Christmas is going to be fun this year. It's a good year for Lucas to better understand the real meaning of Christmas.

Thanksgiving and Family - Good Times

We had a really good Thanksgiving. First, we went to Nanny and E.O.'s to eat dinner. Kaylea was a little under the weather, so we didn't get to eat as a whole family. It was just E.O., Nanny, and the three of us. Lucas said the blessing. He said "Dear God, I'm thankful for my family and I'm thankful for this food, Amen". We had a good dinner and even got serenaded by Lucas' piano playing.


About 4 hours later, we ate supper at Gigi and Papaw's house. The whole family was together. Buzzy said the blessing and we all ate supper together. Lucas and Buzzy played and played and played. Henry even showed us a new trick. Everyone had a great time. These times together are the memories we'll cherish forever. We can't wait for Christmas.

Cowboy Lucas

Pop Pop cut a piece of rope for Lucas and he's been cowboy Lucas ever since. There's no turning back. He lasso's everyone and is pretty good at twirling that rope. He's named E.O. as a "cowgirl" and ties him up. Who would've known that a little piece of rope would entertain him for so long.
Who's that dog?


It's Lucas. He loves this towel at Gigi's house.

Trick or Treat

Lucas had a ball yesterday trick or treating. Doctor Lucas started out at my office and almost filled up his bag before he left. He even got to see Tigger and chase his tail.
After we got home, we started in the neighborhood. We gave our bucket of candy to our neighbor for her to give out. Lucas got pretty good at going to doors and saying trick or treat. He got a little freaked out at the big people dressed in costumes. To be honest, some of them freaked me out too. He over filled his bag and got several "special treats" from neighbors. After scouring the neighborhood, we went to Ervin and Sharon's house. They gave him a special Halloween package. Lucas and Ervin had quite a wrestling match. We had a hard time getting him to leave.
When we got back home, Gigi and Papaw were here. They delivered more treats from family. He ended up with more candy than we originally had in our bucket to give out. He ate a lot of candy and now asks for Reeses Cups by name. It was midnight before we got him to bed. He had a good time. I just hope he sleeps longer tonight.
