Happy Very Late Bday Gran!

Walking boy

Here is our little man walking. He is quite independent and wants to do it all on his own. He is about to be into EVERYTHING!

Spring is here....kind of

The weather has been wonderful lately! It has been slightly warm and sunny, except for the crazy wind. Luke has loved getting to go to the park, the lake, and play outside.

Luke LOVED the lake. The water was freezing, but he kept wanting to walk in it and even sit in it. I think he would have crawled right into the lake if we would have let him.

Luke and Ford played outside with his tools, so he could be just like dad.

Luke started really trying to walk this week. He takes about 4-5 steps now before he falls. He tries to run everytime he walks. He loves to sing, clap, and play peekaboo.

Luke is loving having Ford home, but for Ford and I, it is not quite as much fun. Ford is still looking for a job. I am looking also. He has been applying for jobs all over the country, and we know that God has a plan for us, we just aren't sure what that is yet. Please keep praying for us. We love living here, and can't imagine moving or leaving our amazing group of friends...but we are trying to keep an open mind to hear God's plan for our lives.

Happy Birthday Uncle Aaron

Happy Birthday Uncle Aaron!!! SIX years old!! We can't believe how grown up you are. We miss you and love you.

Luke wanted to sing Happy Birthday himself, but he was a little camera shy!!

First Haircut

Last weekend, Luke had his first haircut. It took about 3 snips, and really just got some weird long spots trimmed up, but he sure looked cute!


He did great and just stared at her everytime she tried get his hair. Now there is a reason why he is not wearing any clothes...My mom came to visit this day, and we went to pick her up at the airport with Aunt Casey. We parked and went inside to wait by the baggage claim. On the way in, I noticed that Stinker was quite stinky. So we went in the airport bathroom while we were waiting to change him. Now, of course the bathroom was not the most pleasant place to change him. Well needless to say, this was one of those diapers that for whatever reason appears to have exploded. Socks, undershirt, pants, sweater, every article of clothing was completely unwearable. The only thing salvaged was his jacket. Did I mention that it was like 45 degrees outside??? So we go to wait for Nana in the airport after a pretty traumatic diaper change (especially for Aunt Casey who stoically stood by her nephew despite the grossness) wearing only a diaper and a jacket. Of course, being the great mother that I am, you would expect me to have a change of clothes in the diaper bag right? Or at least in the car....well that was not the case. Soooo, since Casey and I had been desperate to get our hair done, our hair appt. was immediatly after Nana's arrival. So we went straight to the salon and all got our hair done, Luke with no clothes on. But we all survived and our hair looks wonderful!!
