Busy Busy Busy

Since we have been home we have been running like crazy. Lucas seems to be adjusted to the new time zone, but we are still having major issues with sleeping. His naps aren't nearly as good as they used to be, and he is sleeping with us through the night. He also wakes up many many times during the night to nurse. It has been making for very long nights for the three of us. Considering we all like our sleep very much, it has affected us during the day. I think the lack of sleep has taken its toll on all of us.


Last weekend we had a surprise party for Aaron's great-grandma, whom we all call Grandmother. There was a pretty good turnout, even though the entire family wasn't able to make it. Here are some pictures from it.

(See poor Lucas, all tuckered out)

Oh yes, the other little baby on the right, he is Lucas too. When we were pregnant I had FINALLY gotten Aaron to agree on the name Lucas (I had been working on him for a long time because I really liked the name). Then when we were home last year (I was six months pregnant) we heard that Aaron's cousin Jennifer had just had a baby boy and they named him Lucas. We were kinda like "Well crap", but decided to go with it anyway because we never see them. So now there are two Lucas' in our family, and they are three months apart.

Oh and my mom and I went and saw the movie Twilight! It was so good! I will go as far as to say it is my new favorite, beating out The Notebook. It is the first movie where I have read the book first and then still liked the movie. With The Notebook, I saw the movie first and then read the book. The book gave me more detail so I ended up loving the movie even more. Every other time, they screw up the story when they make the movie (in my humble opinion). But I really liked Twilight. I think the book was needed to understand the movie more, but they did such a great job. The casting, the chemistry, the fact that they changed minor things but not too much. I can't wait to see it again! Oh and movie prices have sky-rocketed since we left for Korea. My mom and I spent $40 for two tickets, two drinks, popcorn, and some Junior Mints......ridiculous. Oh well
