It's been a month....shame on me!

But seriously, I have been busy!

I went to Spain, and then to Lainey's wedding! I know, I know, you are thinking, who cares about you, we want to know about the baby!

He is officially no longer a baby. Walking, running, molars, talking (sort of), and major high-fiving are my little one's newest tricks.

The talking thing has us in a tizzy. Trust me, this kid can communicate, but he really says 'no', 'mamammmamamamamamama', and the occasional 'oh boy' and 'oh wow', he just doesn't say much. He babbles, yes. He follows directions, yes. But talking, not. When we hang out with Aunt Becky and Ruby, he seems like a mute. A cute, very hungry mute, but still a mute.

Anyway, not a problem, he is supreme, and will talk soon. I just hope he tells me he loves his mom.

I got to spend some time in Spain with Annamarie, and did we ever have fun! We had wine, tried to find trouble, saw an opera, walked till our feet hurt and had to soak our feet in a hot tub, people watched, and enjoyed some togetherness while in Barcelona. I was so lucky to have her visiting me since I was really missing my little guys. Anna is awesome. Totally awesome.

Ben's Mom, Susan, was here for the week I was in Spain, and I only got to see her briefly, and through jet lagged eyes. Bummer! I wish we had had some more time together, but I know that Lucas and Ben enjoyed every moment with her. I may take her with me to Spain next year!

Aunt Lainey's wedding was awesome! It was so great to spend time with my grandparents, parents, and Miri and the kids. Lucas was so happy to be with his cousins, and does he ever love his Aunt Miri!

We are just so lucky to have such a wonderful family. Ben and I say all the time how lucky we are, but when I think about how rich we are in love, I just can't stand it!

I am running into another 'lack of memory' problem, so although I have bazillions of photos and videos, I can't post a thing...yet!
