The one with Graeters!

Roman came to play one day--Luca and he got along for the most part.

They too turns pushing each other around on the mater--Roman loved to smash into things.

Its happening.  Sorry Mackenzie.  You have lived in the dark long enough.

I sent this picture to Mackenzie after our Graeters trip, and told mom why, and she had never heard the story, and peed herself laughing about it, so I will share it now.  

During one of our Utah trips (Mackenzie maybe your scrapbook can help us with a date?) and we went to get ice cream.  Mackenzie and I were alone though.  We were trying to pick out our flavors, and Mackenzie enthusiastically found a "Sample spoon" jar.  She tried a few, and then after looking for the trash can for the spoons realized the spoons she had just sucked on were the trash spoons.  Used spoons.  Or sample spoons.  Who knew.

Its been long enough we can all laugh together now instead of laughing at her.

We always have to go to Graeters while we are here in Ohio.  I am aware that I get the same thing every time I go, and I am aware that Smiths in Utah has that flavor--but its just better here!! And Luca can play!

Grandma Becky stopped to talk to a friend on the way home, and after we chatted a bit, we let them chat and crossed the street to the park.  Luca is getting so good at swinging on a big boy swing--and he actually likes it!

We faced timed Grant and Sara for a bit one night, and Grant sang songs for Luca and he loved it all. They miss each other.

Grandma Becky, Luca and I went to lunch at Lunada when grandma needed mexican food in her life. Luca entertained himself by crushing the tortilla chips with his belly and chest on the table.  Whatever works.

Remember that Ohio water color from Morgans house?? Grandma and I attempted our own.  She is much better than I am, and patience--but thats a different story.  I am overall pleased with what we did!

For those of you who think that extra guy is a state--it isn't.  Its a country.  Guatemala to be precise.

Luca has left lovely presents for everyone around the house--Halie was lucky enough to get popcorn in her shoe one evening.

We were at meijer for some things, and I let Luca watch the lobsters for a while--we used to do that when mom shopped.  I love that everything is the same.

We got our OSU gear for dad there and Luca wanted to wear his hat home, he put it on all himself and was oh so proud.
