This was shocking news to me because 1) I thought we had one and 2) My parents died of carbon monoxide poisoning. Boy, did I feel stupid! We immediately rectified this oversight. I urge all of you to make sure you too have a CO detector and that it is in working order. It can save lives!
Also a year ago...
Lucas turned nine months old, just learned how to clap, went into a swimming pool for the first time and started wearing the Doc Band, my sister turned 26, we were starting to really listen to nursery rhymes, I was lusting after Pretty Things and I read Kelly Corrigan's beautiful memoir, The Middle Place.
Last week I wrote my 500th Letters For Lucas post, Lucas is almost 21 months old, Leah will be 27 on Monday, we have a new address, my husband has his own vintage car showroom, which has been (knock on wood) very successful so far and I'm reading One Amazing Thing by Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni and I'm still lusting after pretty things:
Bailey Console Table - Pottery Barn
Love Letters Sheet Set - Anthropologie
The last week has been rough. Lucas has been sick with the worst cold/flu of his young life and we have been to the pediatrician's office twice, most recently to find out he now has a double ear infection. I've been sick too and so has Todd. Taking care of a sick child when you're sick too is no fun!
Never a dull moment...
As always, then and now, our life is full of ups and downs, but also a lot of humor along the way.
