First Post

I always thought I would never do this, but as days go by and I see others with fantastic and inspiring blogs, I decided to take a stab at it.  If anything just to be able to keep track of the funny and interesting stuff that happens to me and my family on a daily basis.  For instance, the other day Ben and I were having some random conversation.  At some point I said something to the extent of, "so and so doesn't need any more of that.  Jesus."  Lucas was evidently paying more attention than I thought and followed up with, "Jesus?"  Like, is he here somewhere.  Should I say hello.  It was priceless.  It is days like this that make me want to keep track of it all so that I can recall word for word these conversations at later dates.

You might find this as me rambling on and on because I am probably not the best person at the written word, but hopefully you can follow along.

I've decided as of late that I love that Lucas has no filter whatsoever when it comes to holding back his feelings or what he wants to say.  I appreciate it, but where does it end.  I don't want to make him think he has to refrain all the time when it comes to teaching him manners.  Some people appreciate honesty.  I just don't want him calling some lady in the checkout line at Kroger "fat!"  Heaven forbid.  I would be mortified trying to explain that one.  He is 4 (almost 5) and to some extent it seems like the filter should kick in.  Hmmmm.  Who knows? 

Here is a picture of Lucas from 80's day at school.  We just "popped" his collar.  He thought he was so cool.  He even did some cool moves for us on the fashion show runway at school.  White boy can dance!  (Ha, ha)
