For the six days my mom has been here visiting and it has been lots of fun! We haven't done a ton, but we have had a few outings and she has been able to help me out with Lucas a lot. Although we are sad to see her go tomorrow, it won't be long before she and my dad pop back here to see the baby!
Since it is monsoon season here in ABQ it hasn't been the best of weather for going out and about. On Tuesday it was the only clear day while she was here so I decided to take her to the zoo and of course Lucas had a blast. His obsession with peacocks (and of course feeding the fish and ducks) grows with every visit. This time he chased this poor peacock for probably 5 minutes, all over the elephant enclosure, until finally the peacock went into a roped off area and I pulled Lucas out of the roped off area and carried him away screaming.
On Thursday since the morning was supposed to be clear we took the time to go and see the Temple. It isn't as "grand" as the old Utah temples but like all temples, still was beautiful in its own way. The only real downfall in my opinion is that they don't even have a visitors center here! I had never heard of a temple without a visitors center.
It is going to be weird to have an empty house again! Hopefully it won't be for long. We are eagerly awaiting the arrival of our little guy. Oh!! We finally found a name we can agree on....ddddrrrrddddrrrr (drum roll)..... Levi
I forgot to add this picture! So one night my mom was making me my all time favorite food and she likes to "beat" the dough with a plastic bag on her hand to limit the mess. Without us realizing why he was doing it, Lucas pulled out my box of sandwich size ziplock bags, pulled a bunch out, and then opened one of them. He then put his hand in the bag and was trying to reach up on the counter and stick his hand in the dough!! Because he was so excited about it, my mom put the dough on his table so he could help. This kid is seriously so observant and just plain smart!
