Friday we made our first trip to Brookfield Zoo for the summer. There will be a separate post to come on that!
Saturday Wally headed to scout a game for the T-Bolts. There was a rather lengthy rain delay, but they finally got it in and then he was able to head over to catch the end of T-Bolts sectional championship game (which went into extra innings, but they pulled it out!). While he was there, Luke and I ran some errands in the morning, he napped, and then we headed to our neighbor's to celebrate their son Zack's 1st birthday! They had a big jumpie in their backyard. Luke kept climbing up and checking it out, but he wouldn't go all the way - which was fine by me because it was a little rowdy in there! We were there for a couple of hours and then when Wally got home around 5ish, we headed to the DeHaan's house (head varsity baseball coach) to celebrate the sectional championship.
We got home around 9:30 Saturday night. Luke fell asleep in the car and after I layed him down, I layed down myself. But then, the tornado sirens went off. I wasn't watching tv so I had no idea this kind of weather was possibly heading our way. In my past life (aka "pre-Luke"), I would have flipped on the tv to see what was going on, went out on the deck to see what it was like outside, and slowly headed down to the basement. However, in my current life, I panicked! I immediately went and grabbed Luke (who remained sound asleep) and came downstairs. Wally was on the computer and I frantically told him we have to go to the basement. He didn't follow, but Luke and I hung out on the couches down there - again Luke was still sound asleep. I turned on the tv and saw that a tornado had just gone through Streator and was heading south of Kankakee. Within a half hour, everything had passed and we headed back upstairs - Luke to his room and me to mine. He doesn't have a clue that any of that happened! It was quite the eventful 1/2 hour for me!
Sunday we headed to church and FINALLY made it over to the Happ's house to meet Mr. Clark. They live 15 minutes from us, but we were having a really hard time coordinating a day that worked! Clark is SO adorable - it is amazing how tiny he looks next to Luke and to Wally and I, yet Chris and Erin can't believe how big he is getting all ready! Luke was pretty good with him. Sometimes he would pat his belly a little too hard, but for the most part, he was very gentle. He kept saying "baby" and when Chris went upstairs to change Clark, Luke was looking all over for the baby - it was too cute. We can't wait to see him (and Chris & Erin) again in a couple of weeks! Here are a couple of pics!!!
