A good ol' Southern day

You can't get much better than this...

Lucas slept with me in a queen bed so I didn't touch him (or get kicked) all night but he slept until 7am (which if you know Lucas you know is an absolute miracle!). When he did wake up, my dad was there to take him and feed him and play with him so I could go back to sleep. When I got up again at 9am (yes, you read right), my mom was in the kitchen cooking none other than southern-style BISCUITS AND GRAVY!!!! (my all-time favorite and the only food I have wanted to eat for literally months now.)
Brunch, a shower and some Lucas play time was followed by an early nap for Lucas and another nap for mommy. I had forgotten the pure joy it is to feel tired and to say "I think I'll lay down for a little nap" and then actually be able to lay down and take a nap. Heaven.

In the evening, we went to the beach where it was sunny and in the upper 60's with just a slight breeze. Lucas rolled in the sand and I sat there enjoying my surroundings. For dinner, we went to a hole-in-the-wall seafood shack for fried shrimp, crab claws, fish and hush puppies with real sweet tea (I am QUITE sure they brew their own!)

Lucas fell asleep on the drive home and stayed asleep as I transferred him to the crib. Perfect. The only thing that could have made this day more perfect would have been hubby and puppy sitting on the beach with us. But all-in-all, just a good ol' Southern day!
