We were so sad to find out that my dad, who lives in Australia won't be coming to see us next week after all, so I decided to post some videos and pictures for him. This video is from a month ago when we visited Bartlesville and Luke spent some time with my Grandma. I will do more videos tomorrow that are more recent.
We took a great weekend trip with the Duncan/Ryan side of the family. We went to a cabin in the Arbuckle mountains and it was so much fun. The place was beautiful and very relaxing!!
There was even a hot tub, which you know Ford loved!!
My adorable lion...
The two Tony Romos...
We went to the pumkin patch in Flower Mound. It was so fun. The place is great, They have hay rides, train rides, hay mazes, kettle corn, tons of pumpkins, face painting, and of course food and they don't charge for anything except pumpkins and food! Luke had a blast and we took tons of pictures. What is it about babies and pumpkins that is so darn cute?!
I am currently watching two kids who live next door and down the street. Noah, who I have watched his whole live, and Megan who is in 3rd grade. We have so much fun, and it doesn't even feel like I should be paid to watch them.
I got Noah a pumpkin at the farmer's market and he carried it around all day.
We had so much fun going to the OU/Texas football game. First of all, our tickets were completely free!! The best way to go to any sporting event if you ask me! Then, the people who gave us the tickets, also hooked us up with a limo to take us and pick us up. It was so awesome to not have to deal with parking or traffic!! The game was sooo crowded and pretty hot when the sun was shining on us, but very exciting. The outcome was not what we were hoping for, but it was still great to get away.
Luke stayed with his aunt Casey and Uncle Dustin, which made the whole thing possible because I wouldn't have trusted anyone else with him!! They are awesome! He didn't even cry once the whole day with them. Although I was sad when I left him, it was great to have a day away and not worry about him being taken care of! Thanks guys!!

I know I know!! It has been sooo long. We have been super busy lately and I just haven't been able to sit down and work on this or anything else it feels like!
Luke has obviously been exhausted by all of this as well...
I have a lot to catch up on. We have had sooo much fun this last month. Luke is growing so much and is so much fun right now. He is so happy and plays and laughs all of the time.
My only complaint...no sleep! He doesn't seem to need to take naps or sleep more than 5-6 hours at a time at night! There are days where he only sleeps 30 minutes all day long. Another reason why I haven't been able to update lately. I hope it is just his teeth, and he will begin sleeping better soon.
He is still adorable and doesn't seem phased by the little sleep. Here he is in his rocker jacket from grandma george.
Luke got to spend a short but fun weekend with his Nana and Grandpa. He is so blessed to have so many grandparents who love him so much. We only wish that they were all closer so he could spend more time with them!
They even babysat for us while we went to Lifegroup, which gave them some quality time with him. He rarely spends any time away from us, so this was great for him.
We are so excited for the next couple of months. We are going to Oklahoma next weekend to see Ford's parents and my grandma. Then in November my dad is coming from Australia, and of course we will see the Oklahoma family again at Thanksgiving. We love spending time with our family.
We had a fun and exciting weekend! Luke is so energetic and fun lately. He is teething, so that adds new fun to the mix. He is doing ok, but decided to boycott naps and sleeping some of the time. He has gotten very good at controlling his hands and loves to put anything and everything in his mouth. He loves to pull hair, crumble up paper, and touch everything! He is sitting up great, still wobbles some, and tries to scoot on his tummy. He is eating carrots, sweet potato, banana, and peas and will soon try butternut squash and applesauce. He definitly knows who his mom and dad are, and is starting to not want to be left with strangers, like at church.
I used to babysit Melody and Madison, and was Melody's preschool teacher. They are such sweet little girls. They came over on Saturday to have lunch and play with Luke. They were around when I was pregnant, and Melody felt Luke kick several times. Luke loved them and had so much fun. I enjoyed getting to hang out with them again.
We had to leave the party early to go to Uncle Dustin's baptism. We were so excited for him!! He and several other members of their church shared their testimony and were baptized. Their church is great and we love their pastor. He is an amazing speaker with so much passion.
Luke was not such a big fan of the nursery and I got called out. But their church has a cry room with a TV monitor of the service, which is so nice. I wish our church had that. After we went to dinner with Casey and Dustin and his family, and my mom and step dad who all came down for the baptism. It was a great, but very long day.
Of course when we got home, Ford had to watch the OU game so it was a late night!
