It was another jam-packed weekend for the Damascus Luce's!
Speaking of jam packed...on Saturday morning I packed my car to the roof with donated items and headed off to Annapolis (home of the donation site: The Clothes Box). THANK YOU to all who donated!!!
It was so fun to make 4 trips into The Clothes Box with items and have the volunteers there bowled over by how much we collected. Whatever clothes or other items cannot be used by the Sudanese family will be sold from their store and the proceeds go to the Anne Arundel Medical Center.
On my last trip in a gentleman got out of his truck and followed me inside. Once there he asked where the proceeds go and how they get their merchandise (answer: all donations). He said he'd been donating clothes and other items elsewhere for years but will now donate them to The Clothes Box since the hospital has been so wonderful to his family. Yay!
This was meant to be a quick 2 hour trip (1 hr each way). However, my keep powers of navigation must have been on the fritz because I made a wrong turn on the way home and the return trip took about 45 minutes longer than it should have. That's what I get for not printing out the return instructions!
Once I finally got home on Saturday pm, our little trio made its way to a children's consignment store in Mt. Airy and found some more socks for the contiuously growing boy.
Sunday the Tres Luce's headed off to the Ray's home in search of food, fun and lots of people. Rob and Jen had a ton of people over to celebrate the 2009 MD Jaycees Executive Team and their families.
Thankfully Jacob was not the only youngster, although he was the youngest.
The next oldest was adorable little Blaine who is 18 months and still slightly bigger than Jacob. Jacob watched Blaine perform all sorts of fun-looking circus stunts with his mom and dad. I could see Jacob's wheels a-turnin'. I may try some of them as soon as he is more proficient at sitting and standing by himself on moving surfaces.
The 2 took an immediate interest in each other and eventually, when Blaine's mommy was holding both boys, Jacob tried to tackle his new friend. Ahhh the joys of parenting boys.
Good thing they get to see each other again this coming weekend at the convention! Here is Jacob with another new friend - Lisa.
