First Indy trip as a Family of 4

We packed the Pilot up and headed to Indy for the first time with Lucas and without Max. This was the first time Lucas got to meet his Aunt Cheryl and cousins and great grandma Suzy. It was a nice trip and we go to see nana Eileen and papa Bud again!

Maple Syrup Festival

Despite the cold temps and strong wind, we had a good time at the Maple Syrup Fest. My mom watched Lucas and we headed out. We even got to sample the syrup at the end...very tasty!

Big Boy!

Jacob used the big boy potty for the first time! He is doing great but we have a while to go yet until we can do the big boy underwear! Go Jacob!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!!

Welcome Baby Lucas Mitcheltree

At 1:29 pm on Wednesday, January 26, Lucas Allen was born. I was due on January 22. Lucas must of been warm and cozy because he did not want to come out on his own. I was induced Wednesday morning and a few hours later was had a beautiful addition to our family. He is perfect and we are very blessed. Jacob is adjusting to having a brother pretty well so far. He is going to be an excellent big brother and they will be great buddies.

Christmas 2010

Christmas fell on a Saturday this year so we were able to spend Christmas with my side of the family on Christmas Eve and Steve's side of the family on Christmas day. Due to my grandpa Bernie's illness, him and grandma were not able to make it on Christmas Eve but at least we were able to visit with them in the hospital. This made for a different Christmas but reminded us to cherish every day we have with our loved ones and take nothing for granted.

Early Christmas Present for Jacob

We decided to give Jacob his train table a few weeks before Christmas. He is getting enough things on Christmas and Christmas Eve so we figured he would enjoy this more if he got it alone. He loves it and has been keeping him busy!!
