For the love of puppies!

Lucas loves puppies and has for quite some time. We are waiting but don't think it's a phase...... he just loves animals, usually smaller than him. The love also includes insects, amphibians, mammals and more. We have a couple of his favorites but no puppies, lots of stuffed puppies but Lucas says that he wants a real puppy, not one with beans inside

this is the best picture! he saw himself in the mirror and then proceeded to check himself out in a little hand held mirror for the rest of the day

the bulldogs.....


the husky...
the puppies with beans inside.......

Happy New Year!

After getting over the sudden loud sounds that bring in the new year, Lucas joined in with his new best buddy Paulie. They partied hard till 12:05 am!

Happy Merry!

After 4 days of traveling about visiting with family lucas became slightly obsessed with PRESENTS!! Funny but also alarming after the 5th day, actually he asked again today " there are presents for me?" Louie and I joked about researching presents addict anonymous and he pretty much gained the title Present Addict. I guess most 3 1/2 year olds act this way?? please say yes.
Another obsession right now is The Yellow Submarine by The Beatles. We listen to it repeatedly on road trips. I really wanted to get him an authentic Yellow Submarine Toy with figurines from the Beatles Film, but they were kind of hard to find. Also, friends of ours have a Beatles train set with a Yellow Submarine train car! AWESOME!! needless to say that is impossible to find. Instead auntie kristy gave him a Junk Food Yellow Submarine baseball tee and he loves it, wore it twice already.

fa la lala laaa...

Merry Happy!
