Too cute, I'm bringing this one in to work for my desk. Hopefully I don't cry every time I see it!

Lots of updates! My mom threw me a beautiful shower over Memorial Day weekend. It was really nice, about 20 people showed up out at the cottage in Gwinn. I got LOTS of great stuff that was needed now that Luke is a tad older. It was really nice of everyone to make the trip out to the cabin. And Great Grandma and Grandpa got to meet Lucas, that was very cool.

We have also made a tough decision to find Baxter a new home. He has an aggressive side to him that is not safe for Lucas. He bit Ethan over Memorial Day weekend because he took something away from him he shouldn't have been chewing on. This isn't the first time this has happened. Of course a toddler will always want to play with the dog, and Baxter could very well bite him too. A toddler doesn't know any better. So Baxter needs to go to a home with no kids or older kids. It will be hard, but it is for the best all around. Baxter will get the attention he needs at a new home, and our kids will be safer.

We went to Wrigley Field this past Saturday, it was a lot of fun! It was a bit of a long day since we drove down there and back all in one day, but it was fun. Next time we will stay down there. I cried that morning saying good-bye to Lucas for that long, it was hard. But I made it.

I go back to work tomorrow. :-( I'm really sad to leave my baby, but it has to come sometime. It is sort of bittersweet, because I'm looking forward to seeing my co-workers and have some adult stimulation during the day, but I'm really going to miss Lucas. I hope I'm not a mess at work all day! That would be a little embarrassing. But, if I cry here and there, I'm sure people will understand. :)

We are so blessed with this precious baby boy, he is such a great baby. So content. This makes me feel good about leaving him at daycare, at least I know he'll be good for them. And the daycare is wonderful. They make me feel very comfortable leaving him there. He will be in great hands. But I'm sure I'll be calling them a few times tomorrow, and leaving work right at 4:00 to go and get him!

OK, that's all for now. Love you all!
