Lucas and his family

Aah, finally, the beautiful weather that makes one appreciate living in the desert southwest. Eighties during the day, 50s-60s at night. Lovely. A. is now 7 months, and is loving the intro to food that she's gotten over the last several weeks. Lucas is thrilled to be able to spend as much time as possible outside, and we are thrilled to be able to get the kids out of the house to burn off some energy! We had a busy 3 weeks--a trip to Iowa to visit Grandma Becky and the family, a visit from Grandma Joan while Zach was gone, and a trip to Chicago (I went to a conference while Aaron and the kids socialized with Grandma Becky, Aunt Mel, and Jason's family. Fun times, but nice to be settled back in at home for awhile.
