Grandpa & Grandma Pearce Visit

Last weekend G&G Pearce came down for a visit. They picked Lucas up from Deb's and played for a while before I got home. It was so good to see them together since it had been a while.

We had a great weekend of eating at good restaurants, playing outside, picking apples, and enjoying each other's company.

Thanks for a great visit!

DJ

Lucas has always love music and then dancing. Once we found a headset he turned into a DJ. We'll see what this means for his future. 

Pumpkin patch

While I worked on my dissertation a couple weekends ago Nathan took Lucas out to run errands and have some boys time. Here are a few photos from their day. 

Go Twins, even though the season is done. 

Big weekend

Lots of activities for little dude this weekend. His first football game...which also means he gets to say his favorite (maybe first word after dadda and mom) -- football. 

At the Metamora football game

Sometimes you need to just lay in the grass and eat your popcorn. 

And after two nights in a row being out way past your bedtime, this night in the rain at the Bradley soccer match, this is what you get. 

Grandpa Thomas aka Babysitter

We were thankful that Garf made the drive to visit this weekend. It had been a bit since we've seen him. He's recovering well from his shoulder surgery, so much so that he took the job of babysitting Lucas while Nathan and I went to Katie and Ted's wedding. It was a great weekend for all.

Lucas enjoying the slide. He's looking so old. 

Looking forward to the next visit with grandpa. 

Harper's birthday party

On Saturday Lucas went to Harper's 2nd birthday party. The kids (and the adults) had a good time playing outside. Soon the kids will outnumber the adults.

Cobber kids

I recently got my hands on pictures from when Lucas and I were in MN hanging out with some Cobbers. Such a cute bunch! Oldest to youngest: Haydyn, Kylan, Elliott, Lucas, and Nolan. 

"That's my boy!" Says Nathan proudly. 

Nolan understands that you should smile when the camera comes out but Lucas hasn't figured that one out yet. ;-)
