Happy New Year, Everyone!! I hope you have a wonderful, adventurous, growing and exciting 2008. Remember to look back on this past year and think of all that God has done in your life. It will amaze you!

We're back!

We just arrived home yesterday from our wonderful vacation to Disney World, Sea World and my hometown. What a wonderful vacation it was! We had almost 2 weeks with my family and loved every minute. Well, maybe not the getting sick parts, but you get the point. Lukey was such a trouper taking naps in the stroller and going on all the fun rides with us. He absolutely loved seeing all the fish, sharks and dolphins at Sea World. He was captivated by the millions of lights at Disney. He even got his first taste of German food at Epcot and Mickey Mouse ice cream! YUM! What a fun time we had!! I'll be posting more about the trip when I have more time, but here are some of my favorite pictures:

My pants!

I was sitting on the couch this afternoon watching Luke when he started making all of these complaining whines. I couldn't figure out what was wrong. I could only see his upper half and knew that he wasn't stuck on something or anything like that. Hmm... maybe he's just tired. I get up from the couch and finally see all of him. I couldn't help but start laughing hysterically. His pants fell down to his ankles so he couldn't move. HA HA! He usually wears cloth diapers, but since we're going on vacation and will use disposables while there I decided I better make sure the pack that we have still fit him. He's wearing one right now and I since they're a lot trimmer his pants are now too big. It never ends!! I guess I now need to find a belt!

Green Things

A friend shared this site with me a few days ago and made me realize that I can do this! I'm beginning my new journey of cleaning without harsh chemicals. I can't wait. I really hope this works well so that I can throw or give away all of the dangerous chemicals in our home. Hippyish? you might say, but I feel like I'm protecting Luke even more. Does anyone else do this? Let me know about your experience!

Life is busy!

No time for pictures! We've been so busy lately. I'm so ready for vacation! It's still snowy here and FREEZING! I've decided that I'm not a winter person. I don't like being cold and having to wear 8 layers to go outside. I don't like having cold feet no matter how thick my socks are. And I really don't like how dry the house gets because the heat is blowing every 10 minutes. Summer, where are you? Come back!!
JD's wrapping up the semester and doing a fabulous job! Luke is pulling himself up on everything within reach and scooting across the floor in record time. And I'm trying to stay on top of everything. What a busy life! We love it though and wouldn't trade it for anything!

Let it snow!

We woke up today to a couple of inches of snow on the ground. I thought that Luke was ready for his first encounter. Here's how it went:


"Oh, I think I like this. I really wish I could move though."


"Snow is so pretty. I wonder how it tastes..."


"Ahhhhhhh! It's cold!"


"Dada save me! I'm freezing"


"I did not like that at all! What did you guys do to me? Take me inside now!"
