Our Easter Getaway

We took a trip to Greenville, SC over the weekend. That's Greenville without an -e. We met friends of ours who live in Statesboro, GA. It's a short trip for each of us, and neither family had particularly involved plans for Easter, so we decided to spend the long weekend exploring!

We got to Greenville at about noon and had a delicious lunch at a cafe before meeting Larissa, Raphael, Gabriella, and Nathan at the Greenville Children's Museum. The little kids had fun playing on all the awesome exhibits, and Lukie had a great time watching them having fun! He also loved the water table made for little guys like him!

We met friends from Champaign-Urbana for dinner at a Persian restaurant, where Lukie ate everything in sight, and the next morning, we took Lukie to the swimming pool. He wasn't particularly happy when I first got him in there...in fact, he clung to me like a tree frog and cried. Eventually, though, he relaxed a bit and started to have a little fun watching the other kids and spinning around in the water.

And then this happened...

We had camera trouble the rest of that day, so we don't have pictures of the beautiful park we visited, or the ducks that Lukie watched, or the lunch where we all ate gelato...but we had so much fun!

Today was Lukie's 9-month doctor's appointment. He weighed in at 24 lbs. 15 oz, and measures greater than the 90th percentile for weight (the doctor guessed at 97th) and greater than the 75th for height. He's a BIG boy, and the doctor said that give my height, Pete's build, and Lukie's measurements (including his MASSIVE feet-- seriously, baby shoes do NOT fit him), we'll likely have a very big boy on our hands.
