Our Life Lately

Ryan has been really busy lately with his research. He has a conference coming up next week and he's still collecting data that he needs to present. Usually he's able to come home and have dinner with us and then go back up onto campus, but one night last week Lucas and I had dinner alone. We made the best of it and cooked up some shrimp.

Lucas has discovered a new favorite seat. He loves to sit in the laundry basket. Especially when it's filled with warm clothes fresh from the dryer.

When the basket is empty he still likes to climb in, but then he has a hard time getting out without tipping the basket over. So, he'll climb into the basket and then whine for me to come get him out, and then 10 seconds later he'll be in the basket again whining for me to help him out. I don't know what to do with him sometimes.

We've also been practicing our Guitar Hero lately. Lucas is pretty good.

I feel like we've been so busy lately but I have nothing to show for it. I guess maybe that's just Ryan's schedule rubbing off on me. We're getting really excited for the upcoming holiday's, though. We have our anniversary, then Thanksgiving, then our little vacation, and then as soon as we get back from Austin we leave for Christmas in California. The rest of our year is very packed, but it's packed with excitement. Life is good right now. I feel like I'm getting excited for Christmas a lot earlier this year than normal. I find myself singing Christmas songs to Lucas when I put him to bed. I think they are his favorite. :)
