Collage

Here are some random pictures that I put together. This program is so easy to use and fun. We always have so many pictures of Luke, and it's hard to post them all. Collages are a great way to resolve that issue!

More Pictures

I haven't posted pictures of Lukey in a while, and thought I would show you what he's up to.


"Mmmmm! This looks delicious mom!"


Here I was trying on his winter hats to see if any of the ones from last year fit him. I think I'd better get knitting again. Or maybe even Auntie??


This is his favorite teether. Nana bought it for him.


And last but not least, here is a group shot of our family!

Stitches Through Time

I finally drug this out of the basement and put it to use. This belonged to J's grandmother, and it has been so fun to use! I'm in the process of learning how to make my own cloth diapers and have been practicing different stitches and patterns to see what works best. I'm no where near perfect, but I'm having lots of fun. As I was looking through the manual, I found LOTS of hand written notes from his grandmother to tell me how to do things in simple terms. I'm so thankful for those little clues! If she hadn't taken the time to write it down I would still be trying to figure out how to back stitch! Makes me think of what I've written down that will hopefully one day help someone else. Hmmmm. That's something to ponder for today!

Barefoot

I was just looking at this and decided I wanted to post it on here. I love this picture!! Makes me think of summertime and picnics. I love running through the grass, barefoot and feeling the grass in between my toes. It's just the best! What do you like to do in the summer?

Rome

It's been a while since I've posted anything except pics of Luke, so... I thought today was a good day to post other pics. Before the baby I loved taking pics of our adorable, big O' dog, Rome. He is such a sweet, lovable dog. I'm so glad that he's part of our family. He's easy going and wouldn't hurt a fly (actually, he would probably be scared of it)! His life-long love is tennis balls, hands down. I've never seen a dog more addicted to playing ball. He keeps our throwing arms strong and gets us outside no matter what the weather is. We love him!!

Look what I have for you!

"Ohhhhh. What's that mom?!?"

"Taste's funny."

(Do I even need words?)

We'll try again tomorrow!

We miss you already!

We were so excited to have Luke's uncle here for a visit this past weekend. He just left us to fly back home and we already miss him. Thank you so much for coming, J! I know Luke enjoyed seeing you and playing with you (and so did we). Come visit again soon!

Swimming Baby

Luke loves the pool! He splashes and smiles as the water ripples. He kicks his little feet, though he doesn't really move. He even went under water a couple of times (much to his dismay). He never cried but was shocked at the cold water on his face. I wish we had gotten the look on his face on film. It was funny. I'm such a mean momma!
We miss being able to go to the pool whenever our heart desired. We miss watching the little children taking their swim test and getting so excited over their pink bracelet. We miss the tadpoles playing tag in the shallow end. We miss hanging out with our friends on the pool stairs. Oh, the days of summer camp. We miss you!
