Bath Time

Isn't he the cutest?? Andrew calls this Sim's personal Hot Tub! He just kicks back and relaxes. Bath Time has become a personal favorite for Andrew. He enjoys the quality time with Simeon. Afterwards, Mom wraps him in a big fluffy towel and gets him ready for bed. Together as a family we have story time and then Simmy goes down for the night.
We have been attempting to get Sim to sleep through the night which he was extremely reluctant to do on his own. Its hard to listen to him cry but he seems to be much happier during the day when he sleeps through the night. Not that he has accomplished this yet. He is consistently waking up at 1am and crying for up to an hour. Please pray for us! Hopefully tonight will be the night.
Here's another funny bath pic of Sim.... It looks like he's saying, "DAD! I'm in the bath!!!" =)

The Lackeys

Okay... who am I kidding? I said this blog is about the Lackey's but really... its about Simeon. I mean all you have to do is ask the grandparents...
they will tell you the Lackey's are not the Lackey's without Simmy Boy! But just to satisfy the curious here are a few brief facts about Mr. and Mrs. Lackey...

Mr. Lackey aka Andrew grew up in Colombia South America as a missionary kid. He graduated from Columbia International University with a Masters in TEFL in May of 2004. Currently, he teaches ESL at Ben Lippen and serves as the illustrious house dad of 3B.

Mrs. Lackey aka Heather lived in NY state until her parents joined Wycliffe Bible Translators when she was 10. At that point, she moved to various points in the US including Texas and North Carolina. Mr. Lackey will tell you that she received her "MRS" degree in 2001 when she married him. She is still working on all other degrees. =)

And now the best for last.... Young Simeon Lackey aka Simmy Boy aka Sim joined us on April 3, 2005. He is a strong little man with a great smile and an even greater laugh!! He is currently working on his crawling ability. We will keep you posted.
