Wednesday Night Update

All is well in Texas. Here is a quick update on the Lucas Clan.

Rick - As unbelievable as it sounds, Rick is at t-ball draft right now. I guess 5/6 t-ball is so important that is requires the coaches to draft players. Last weekend Rick had to attend 4 hours of tryouts. It really is ridiculous but JT loves playing and thankfully Rick gets to coach. He will now doubt be busy with JT's team, his dad's softball team, the boys, and whatever freelance work comes his way. He is a few days away from 38 so all of this may be too much for him.

JT - The best update on JT is that he never stops talking. It is draining at times; okay it is draining most of the time. I asked JT if his jaw hurts from all the talking he does. Of course, with all the talking comes some fairly funny things. On Monday we went out for pizza, in the lot across the street a police car had pulled someone over. This is how the conversation went:

Me: "Ooh look guys, someone is in trouble." (And just to note - I was once scolded by a stranger that I was scaring my kids when I make statements like this about the police)
JT: "I think he has drugs."
Rick/Me: "What?"
JT: "Yeah, I bet he is getting in trouble for drugs."
Me: "What do you know about drugs?"
JT: "Oh, I know a lot about drugs."

Zach - There is one way to describe Zach - Train Obsessed. It is nonstop trains with Zach. We have finally given in and allowed Thomas in the house, which means Rick and I are constantly walking around the house humming "Down by the dockside" or "They're 2, they're 4..." Zach is cute but he is also tough to deal with. He has hit the twos and he likes to battle over everything. Somehow he is managing to find a way to get a word in edgewise and is adding lots of words to his repotoire. His latest is "delicious." He was looking at the remains of my birthday cake and let out a delicious. It took a few reptitions before we got it and of course Zach ended up with some cake.

Meg - It is hard to write an update on yourself. I don't feel like I have much to say that is blog worthy. I work, I come home, I hang with my people, I try to get some household chore done before I crash for the night. Mom and I are gearing up for our trip to Portland for Reah's and Gavin's babyshower. I am very excited for the weekend away with Judes and to see Gavin and Reah.

Well there you have it. A quick update on the household. More photos and video soon.
