Good Morning... and night!

This is the most precious thing I have been waking up to every morning.... and at least three times a night :o) It seems Mr. Luke-man is into late-night aerobics. He gets himself stuck standing up and I have to get up and lay him back down.... but this sweet smiling face every morning makes it more than worth it :o)

Hello, Spring!

This is what SPRING looks like in Wellsville. I can't believe there is snow on the ground this morning... I can't believe we had to put on Jack's SNOWSUIT to take our morning walk. It is supposed to melt by this afternoon :o) I know it will be gorgeous here this summer but for now.....SC HERE WE COME!!!!!

This was taken at the park yesterday... Jack looks like he's lost his teeth.

(thought you would find this one funny, Michael)

Pictures from Grammy's Camera

So here are some of the cute ones that I just found on Grammy's camera....

Luke is flirting in this one :o) We showed him a pic of Aunt Heather's sister's baby... she's the same age and he couldn't get enough of her! He was laughing and smiling .....he liked her so much he wanted to eat the picture... so adorable! Here Jack is practicing his gymnastics moves. He was doing a split... he thought he was pretty funny because his socks were sliding across the floor.

What??? Jack, you are a little too big for that thing... and to think it used to be yours! And Luke, I can't believe you are STANDING up all by yourself! These kids are growing up toooooooo fast!

Grammy was teaching Jack how to make bread. Hmmmm... correction, Jack is pretending to roll the bread... Actually, I just looked at the picture again, and I think he is rolling his tractor over the bread :o) HA!

Ahhhhh.... Daddy is Skyping us and reading Jack and Luke a book. We bought a few pairs of books before Michael left so that he could read one and Jack could have one. He's such a good Daddy!!!!!!

The Luck of the Irish

Hmmmm... not so sure about the "luck" of the Irish. Jack got pink eye today :o(

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

May love and laughter light your days,

and warm your heart and home.

May good and faithful friends be yours,

wherever you may roam.

May peace and plenty bless your world

with joy that long endures.

May all life's passing seasons

bring the best to you and yours!

YAY!! I finally got the camel that Daddy sent just for me. I think it is pretty darn cool that Daddy gets to live in a sandbox. I really miss him.... I am growing so fast and getting so big. Today I started crawling, really crawling. I also pulled myself up on a basket and stood up on my toes (can't wait to show Daddy my new trick on Skype!!!). My brother is pretty cool, although today he climbed on Mommy and knocked me over. I got scared and cried... but I'm still one tough cookie!

Here are all of the neighborhood kids... All of Michael's neighbors grew up and had babies. It was neat to have them all there playing... kinda hard to get them all in one picture, though. Alex and Jack are missing...they were busy throwing the ball down the hill into the "field."

Grammy and Papa are enjoying the nice weather. The last few days have been so nice. We've been able to get outside every single afternoon.... Jack is loving the big hill in the back yard. It use to serve as the hill the neighborhood kids would sled down, and now they are rolling balls, cars, trucks, each other... you name it down the hill.

Jack is really into his colors these days. He is telling me which ball is which here.

Here are Jack and Papa kicking the ball around before dinner.

**So , not crazy about this layout I tried. I couldn't quite figure out how to make it do what I wanted it to do... just in case you're wondering why it looks like this :o)

Jack said the cutest thing tonight. I was getting him dressed for bed and I was putting on one of those footed pj things. He hasn't worn one of those in a really long time... anyway, after it was on he had a funny look on his face... then he told me that his feet were stuck. I thought it was adorable :o)
