When Grandma Donna & Grandpa Carl visit Jacob I always look forward to Carol's pending blog post (although you are getting behind, Carol. November 22? Time for an update). And now I can do the same thing!

| Checking out the butterflies |
Late Thursday night Grandma Donna, Grandpa Carl, and Uncle Michael come for a visit. Their timing was so helpful because this was my first week working night shift (Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday nights) and I wasn't sure how I would adjust or when I would sleep during the day. I was so excited towards the end of my shift Thursday night (or Friday morning), knowing that I would come home to see everyone, plus it was my 31st birthday! I came home, slept for a solid 5 hours, then we all went to the Frederik Meijer Gardens to visit the butterflies.

| So sweet! |
We celebrated my birthday Saturday night by going to Brick Road Pizza, then put Lucas to bed and watched a James Bond movie, Casino Royale. Sunday morning we went to church then had an amazing Easter brunch at Trillium Haven Restaurant before they went back home.
In Lucas news - he made big intellectual gains during their visiting! In the past few days he started clapping and playing patty cake, he covers his own face with a blanket for peek-a-boo, he makes kissing lip smacks (Uncle Michael taught him this), and, most exciting of all, he signed "more" while we were eating! His first sign! I have read about this mega-surges in development and now I have seen one.
Tammy, He's getting so big! I can't believe it - I miss him! Way to go, Lucas on your first sign! I'm glad to see you had fun with Grandma & Grandpa.
