Still here!

Well, you say, where in the world have I been lately and why haven't I been posting? I have no great answer for you. To be honest I've been living life, being a mom and wife and growing a baby. And you thought I was going to tell you about another amazing adventure we've gone on to a far away place! I can only dream! I will try to start this up again though and keep all of you readers up to date on what's going on in our lives. It has been busy lately and shows no hope for calming down for quite some time. I like it like that though. It keeps me active and there's never a boring moment. I do need to get out my camera again though and start shooting some pictures again. Poor Luke is flash deprived lately! We'll have to fix that tomorrow! Check back soon and they'll be some pics of toddler Luke (where did my baby go?).

Summer in a box

I figured that there is no way in the world for me to catch up with all we did this summer, so I'm going to post pics of some of the events (after Germany) and give a quick summary. This way I can start posting about what's happening in our lives today and not what happened 2 months ago. Here we go!!!

We went to Lake Michigan for the first time and climbed "the dunes". I will admit that I was completely out of breath when I got to the top, but hey, at least I made it pregnant and all! Luke loved the sand and actually ate some!




Luke got a taste of ice cream at the end of our adventure. We needed to cool down!


We made the back porch into a playroom for Luke. I had another picture of it, but I can't find it now. We're still getting furniture for it, but it's coming along nicely!


Luke has found his passion for books. We've read every single book of his (and that's a lot) at least a dozen times. I'm glad that he enjoys it though. Here he is reading to himself.


Luke has also discovered that he loves to dance! I pulled out my keyboard one day and he likes playing the songs on it and dancing his little twinkle toes to the beat. It's cute!


We also went to visit my family down south for a week. It was nice to see everyone. Nana and Pop Pop took us to the water park. Luke loved the water as did we!



Lastly, I've been sewing again and knitting a little. Here's my lastest creation:



I think I'm about caught up. I know I missed a lot of other things that we did, but there just isn't time to blog it all right now. Pregnancy and a toddler has me on constant busy mode!
