Time to Feast

Lucien's one year old now and he is enjoying the Thanksgiving feast. I hope the extra turkey will give him some extra sleep. Maybe the drink will...

Happy Birthday Lucien!

Happy happy birthday to you! You made it to the big ONE! Lucien turned one year old on November 15th. Luckily the day fell on a Sunday and we were able to have a big birthday bash at the house for him. Lots of friends came over to celebrate including his little buddies - Henry, Curren, Wayland, Meredith, and Mandy. The back porch was turned into a huge play room and Lucien would run out to every chance that he could get to snatch a Cheese Doodle off the table. He got a little shy when put in his high chair in front of the whole gang but when the candle was lit and every one was singing he loved it. He dabbled in the cake but really loved messing around with the icing all over his fingertips. The Stuart air show was going on that day and three jets soared right over the house in a Happy Birthday salute. We love you Lucien!

Vaccines On The Go

Lucien is almost one year old and the biggest threat out there for someone his age right now is the H1N1 Flu, otherwise known as the swine flu.  This outbreak has caused such a stir in the public that everyone is flocking for the vaccine.  We received a message from a friend that they were giving out free vaccines this week in her town.  When we checked the web we found that our town would be given out the vaccines all the following week so we decided to wait.  Tuesday came along and we drove all over town trying to hunt down the vaccines only to find out that they have canceled all dates and consolidated them into one day on Wednesday.  David started the shift at 5pm on line with 500 other people for the vaccine.  We waited 2 hours before Lucien got jabbed in his turkey legs.  He was so happy to be around so many other babies.  I didn't mention to him that we have to hunt down the 2nd half of the shot in about  month.
