We just got back from a long trip back home. Lucca and I flew in a week earlier than Shan so we could spend time with Chels and Tate before they headed back home to Dominica. Lucca also wanted plenty of time to love up his other cousins and I couldn't wait to meet baby Henry (lots of pics of him coming next). The trip was amazing, although it seems everyone was sick at the same time. I didn't get to spend very much time with most people because of illnesses. I have to admit, I did find myself having a few pity parties after the third person canceled, but I learned a good lesson. One night after having a pity party, I watched my mom and Lucca cook together. I realized that we were exactly where we needed to be. At home so Lucca could bond with his grandparents and so my mom and dad could see what a remarkable, crazy, fun, stubborn, quirky, excitable and loving little man Lucca has become. I'm also so saddened that he doesn't get to see them more regularly because I worry he won't have a bond with them. Those worries were put to ease when I saw how easily he adored them. All in all, the trip was a success and Lucca came home loving his cousins and grandparents.
The first day we spent at Wheeler farm with Chels and Tate.
Sat. night everyone came over for dinner. Lucca had so much fun playing with his cousins. It was so funny watching all of them try to boss him around. Lucca is one stubborn boy, he can't be coaxed to do anything. Poor Tate found this so frustrating as she especially took a maternal role. It was hilarious to watch them.
Lucca didn't just love the people back home though. He also can't stop asking to go into our garage, which he earned a huge fascination for while there. When he learns we don't have a garage, he wants to go see the horsies, which we also don't have. Then he turns to Yucy (Lucy) the cat who was his companion while there. When he learned yesterday we didn't' have a Yucy he was quite sad. Looks like we'll have to back to Grandma and Grandpa's soon.
Love you all. xoxoxo

Great post Heath!! So many adorable, and neat pictures. I'm so glad your pity party didn't last long... you are right, the main thing is Lucca and mom & dad got to spend time together... it's really priceless. We were so lucky to have grandma around growing up, and Lucca will feel the same about mom & dad:) Who knows, maybe in a couple years it'll be enough to get you back to Utah- just sayin. I'm glad you got time though- when are you going back?
Great pictures! It was so fun to get to spend time with Lucca, and getting to know him! He is adorable, loving, stubborn, busy and so funny! Such a sweet little guy! And who knoew that we were so much fun??? Love you!
