June updates

I haven't blogged in a while so we have been up to a lot. So the pictures are in no certain order. Today is Father's day and Luke's 8 months of life! So after I fed him this morning before church he fell asleep and I actually was able to change his diaper without waking up. That has never happened!

After Sunday dinner with the fam, Kate, Matt, Judah, Lilly, Luke and Myself went swimming at George and Norma's (my parents neighbors). Luke was so worn out that we once again fell asleep as we were waking back to my parents house seconds after getting out of the pool.

Luke got his dad and himself watching outfits. They were suppose to wear cargo shorts but Andrew said it would look like they were going on a sarfri.

Luke also worked har on finger painting a picture for father's day using green beans He is so talented.

He has gotten good at eating harder foods such as the mum mums. He loves these corn rusks. So they are called.

Luke is now taking baths in the big boy tub. This is his first time in and he did so good splashing, playing with toys and folding over to drink the water. He is growing up so fast.

Last weekend Phil, Aaron, Kim, Andrew, Luke and myself wen to the strawberry festival. If you didn't go you didn't miss anything. This is a picture of them watching the 8 fire engines go by real slowly with all of the serines going off. Nice!

Also that same weekend Luke and Blake began their swimming lessons and the new YMCA in Niles. They did so go and man does it tried luke out.

Luke is probably the coolest kid EVER! Sorry to the other parents that didn't get blessed with Luke.

Fort Bragg Visit

Last Saturday Luke and I flew to Fayetteville, NC to welcome home Sam from Iraq. It was an eventful trip. Luke got pink eye...from a cousin I will not name in which Gavin, Shannon, and my mom ended up getting as well. Then Luke got a fever and really didn't sleep through the night...pretty much woke up every 1-2 hours. The first picture is Shannon hold Luke in Medex which by the way does not doesn't take children 2 and younger. They didn't tell us until hours after sitting there. So when we did fly home the next day we went ot Medpoint and they told us nothing was wrong. I didn't accept seeing that he still had a temp and was not happy. So we went to Dr. Caruso in the morning and guess what another double ear infection!!!

Sam did so good with Luke. Luke always smiled at him. He really does know his uncle Sammy! I think this is right before he left for work on the motorcycle.

Oh, I got a picture with him. Yikes...someone really needs to get into the sun.

Sam got in Sunday around midnight. Luke, Gavin, Lilly, and Judah so good being up at this hour. Judah danced to the army band while Gavin was waving lots of flags. Lilly made a new friend and Luke was just being prefect!!! This picture was right after they were dismissed.

Kate was just excited to be apart of the event.

You can tell it was WAY past my bed time.

I had Luke on my shoulders and he vomited down on my hair and down my face. Delightful!

Bumma was bonding with lil Luke.

Kate brought some warmer clothes for Luke to wear and for some odd reason she thought that I would take Luke out in public in this thing. I apologize if any of you have something like this for your child...but it really bad. I think thats why Kate try giving to my because she didn't let Judah wear when he was little.

On my last day there Gavin and Luke went for a walk in the neighborhood and Luke was excited because it was actually a nice day that didn't rain.
