Trying out the Tigger costume

This is easily the best video we've taken of Lucas in a while. It starts out cute, but keep watching since the latter half is arguably the funniest stuff he's ever done on video.

Movie Night, Part 1

For your viewing pleasure, the next two posts will contain an assortment of movies from the last couple of months.

This is the first of three from our trip to Massachusetts earlier this summer. In this one, Lucas tries his hand at vacuuming. Now all I have to do is teach him snow shoveling and taking out the trash, and it's easy living for me here on out.



In Massachusetts video #2, Lucas tries his own unique method of feeding bread to the fish. No animals were harmed in the making of this video. A little uncomfortable maybe, but eh, they're fish. We put 'em back in the water.



To close out the Massachusetts trilogy, we return to the boat on the lake previously seen here.

Coming soon

I'm currently uploading a bunch of videos, which is a fairly time-consuming process. If they finish tonight, I'll post at least some of them. Otherwise, be on the lookout for them tomorrow.

Massachusetts: Almost Done!

Let's see, we didn't end up going away for the weekend, AND I didn't get around to updating until just now. Um, Happy (Canadian) Thanksgiving, everyone! (hopefully that will make you forget my negligence)

While in Massachusetts, Lucas was playing around with some clothespins, and it gave me an idea. The end result follows...

This isn't Lucas related, but Marilu and I got a chance to leave Lucas with his grandparents, and then we spent a night at the MGM Grand Hotel at Foxwoods Casino. We took the following picture right after we ate dinner at this FANTASTIC Chinese restaurant. I ate way too much, but by now, my stomach is used to being distended.

Here's a view from our room the following morning. The ones I took at night weren't that impressive even though the "live" view was really something.

Going back to the lake theme from the last Massachusetts entry, one evening we took a ride around the lake on one of those patio boats (or pontoon boats or whatever the heck they are called). The weather was perfect that evening, and we all had a really good time just cruising around dusk.




With my mom by his side, Lucas attempts the grizzled sailor look.


The wind had its way with Marilu's hair.


We're doomed.


I love how this next picture came out.


Finally, a rare nature shot since it really was a beautiful view from the boat.


That's just about it for the Massachusetts trip. Tomorrow, I'll have a couple more pics from our dinner at Eighty Ates, and if I have the time (since I'm spending a LOT of time studying for the real estate course), I'll try and get a couple of the Massachusetts videos uploaded to YouTube.

Mid-week update

Not many updates recently for 2 reasons. First, we went to Syracuse last weekend to shop and see my school (USF) beat Syracuse handily at football. Second, my mom has been here since last Wednesday, and she is usually the one who reminds me when I haven't updated in a few days. Since she gets to see Lucas on a daily basis, I've avoided her nagging temporarily. :)

For the long weekend coming up, we are headed to Hamilton (near Toronto, for you non-Ontarians) to visit with our friends Wes and Kelly and their 2 kids. As such, I'll try and get the rest of the Massachusetts pics up before Saturday, as well as some new pics we took today at the Children's Museum in the Canadian Museum of Civilization. If you live in the area and you haven't been there, you gotta get over there. I think we could have left Lucas there all day and he would have been happy. Great place.

Now I'm off to watch TV since I need to make room on the PVR. Technology has a death grip on my life, obviously.
