Easter Sunday
For the entire weekend, I was home on the couch with food poisoning. By no means would I call that fun. However, I still had a wonderful time with family and friends. On Saturday, we had our own Easter egg hunt at our house, played with bubbles, and raced on Aldo's new wii game that he got for his birthday. Sunday morning we woke up for sunrise service with Granddad (we caught the last 5 minutes I think) and later spent the day at my mom's boyfriend's sister's house.
I think it's Luke's favorite holiday so far. If I put the eggs out where he could see the bright colors screaming his name, he would go straight for them. And then after he had two in his hand, he would be content. Banging them together, sticking them in his mouth, and whatnot.

As far as everything else goes... Luke is gradually learning more and more every day. I think we could officially add another word to his vocabulary: "pay-pas", which is really Spanish (papas) for french fries. One day he woke up and wouldn't stop saying the word. So we cooked up some french fries for breakfast. And let me tell you, it's delicious! He's also in the phase where he's too smart for his own good... For example, the other day he was banging on the tv with his hand, so I shook my head at him and firmly said, "No no." He just turned his head sideways and smiled. Inside I was cracking up at how cute he was. Another time Aldo was trying to feed him and he very unwillingly and slowly ate. When I walked in the door, Luke started crying as if he had just gotten hurt. I could seriously see pain in his eyes. Aldo later told me, he was playing it up for me. In a few weeks, I expect Luke will be walking. He stands and squats on his own, but hasn't tried those first few steps. I think I like this stage.
Aldo applied for an internship for a case study at KU med a while back and recently found out that he made one of the spots. He'll be starting at the beginning of June. I'm so excited... this is the doorway to what he wants to do with his life. How many of us don't even know that?
We also finally got a new car! (And by new, I mean used.) It's a 95' white, Chevy Blazer in almost perfect condition with low miles for it's age. I feel like I know almost everything about SUV's and vans now that I've been looking at vehicles for the past couple of months. No more Scooby Doo van!
And for the special ending... Luke and his "angry face".
