Lucas Camilo

It was sunny and warm all weekend long, so on Sunday we packed Lucas and a picnic into the car and went into Rock Creek Park for a lovely afternoon.  The three of us lied in the grass, gazed up at the leaves, listened to the water babble by, and barely looked up to notice who was watching when we flipped on the suction machine.  It was nice.

The other highlight of the weekend was going three days and nights without any nurses.  Although we’re coming to feel like Lucas’s nurses are practically part of the family — especially Victor, who’s here half the week overnight and greets us when we get up in the morning — it was pleasant to have the house to ourselves for a few days, especially since there were no major overnight episodes.  Lucas thought it was fun to hang with his parents so much, and showed his love by staying up laughing and playing with Burke until 2 am Monday morning.  The little guy has done really well lately, but we’ll still sleep a little better tonight knowing Victor is back to watch over him.

Since it’s the end of May we’ve gathered our favorite photos from the past two months into a flickr album.  Below that you can check out Lucas’s latest video appearance… flapping his wings.
