The weather has certainly turned cold the past couple of days.  We were just getting used to the beautiful fall days in the 50's and 60's. 
Here are some more photos from Thanksgiving Day.  Pat and Chuck hosted a large group of family and served all the good fixin's.

Loving family,

Wonderful friends,

And President Obama.

A quick recap

I'm starting this blog after a wise woman told me how meaningful it was to see images and videos of her far-away grandchildren, the little daily happenings that would otherwise be lost to her.  In that spirit, I will share little moments of our family life with Lucas beginning with a quick recap of how it all began.

June 26, 2012

Lucas was born in Portland, Oregon on June 26, 2012.  He has a sense for travel, taking his parents from Portland to Grand Rapids and traipsing through twelve states in between.

He has seen the beautiful rivers, striking landscapes, and large buffalo of the west.  He's had glimpses of North Dakota's great plains, a few dozen of Minnesota's thousand lakes, and the bright fall colors of Michigan's Upper Peninsula.  The rolling hills and farmland of the Hawkeye State produced the best sleep of his life! (Seriously, he slept through the night in Iowa.)  Lately he has been spying deer and wild turkeys in his new backyard (at Grandma Pat & Grandpa Chuck's house).  He may not know that he has seen these things, but that's okay.  They have permeated his psyche.
