A Lazy Weekend

Hello Everyone!

Happy Memorial Day weekend! As my title implies, we are having a very lazy 3-day weekend, and that suits me just fine. Matt is off all three days - woo hoo - but we decided just to stay in town and enjoy some family time.

Hailey officially turned one last Wednesday, May 23rd. We didn't really do much of anything since we had already celebrated down in Missouri. I'm afraid the most she got was Luke and I singing "Happy Birthday" a couple times. She is so, so, so close to walking. She stands up in the middle of the room all the time, looking like she's about to take off but then just plops back down. I think she just wants to let the anticipation build for a little while longer. :-) She's been fighting sleeping and naps this week, and I hoping it's just that her little brain is so busy learning how to walk that it is having trouble settling down to sleep. I've heard that can happen when they're learning something new. We'll see...

Luke played a whole lot of basketball this week - he loves shooting and attempting to dribble. After he makes a basket, he gives you this huge smile and shouts "I made the team!" What? I think it's a combination of "I made it!" and "Go team!", but I'm not sure. He's not too bad at shooting, so maybe basketball will be one of his sports - hey, he's got the size 12 feet already.

Luke and I took our first bike ride together on Friday night, that is with both of us on bikes. It was a neat moment - he's old enough now to do an activity together that we both really enjoy. I only crashed into him once (he does quite a bit of spontaneous braking).

Hope you and your family have enjoyed some fun moments this weekend as well!
