Here is our boy in all his little boyness, playing around in mom's Volvo. I love this shot becasue it really shows through Lucas' personality at this stage in his growth. He really likes to laugh and play, a very important aspect of life in general. It's been great to be home, business has taken me all over the country and it's rough being away from both Justine and Lucas. We have lots to look forward to in the comming weeks, a trip to Legoland with the Gilbert and Edward Duffy as well as Willow, Lucas' most special friend. Look forward to the shots as they will be published on the aguculture.com.

See You All Later!

Playing with the Cameraphone

Lucas and I were playing with the cameraphone and came up with this shot. Of couse he wants to play with the phone while mom tries to feed him some more soup. He is being a picky eater lately but I guess that is normal for a two year old. He is also bout to go to part time pre-school for more social interaction. Justine has been taking him to get used to the routine and starting September 1st will go three times a week for 4 hours. It will be interesting!

Just having dinner can be a challenge with a rambunctious two year old. We were just trying to devour a plate of Soup Plantation faire when Lucas would not sit still. Like this has ever happened to those with a little two year old. We thought we would make it to Ikea for a little shopping but that didn't work. O well, we tried. I shot this image because well for the few bad moments Lucas has, he makes up for it in totally adorable ones like this pose here. Until next time!

Legoland

We bit the bullet and bought season tickets to Legoland and boy have we made a good decision. In just two visits we will have paid for our membership. Lucas loved Legoland as we expected and it's a great place to take your two year old. We especially enjoyed Explore Village and Water Works, where Lucas got soaked. I forgot my CF Card so I was unable to shoot images with the G2 but Justine brought her Olympus Stylus Zoom film camera and I had my camera phone. One final note, Knights' Kingdom and the The Hidaways became a big hit for everyone including me and mom. It's an elaborate rad ass jungle gym of fun and excitement for everyone. It's all wood and natural grove, canvas, and the natural materials make it smell nice and the wolf sounds were real coolas well as the slides were super fun. We will be back!
