Trip to Indy...

We just got back from a one week visit to the great state of Indiana. We were able to see so many family and friends. It was a great time! Luke still is talking about Chewie and Emma (my brother's dog) and tells me how he wants to pat them. Good time was had by all!

Luke loves his great-granddad!!
Luke received the cutest suitcase from his Auntie Olivia and Uncle Wessel as a birthday gift. He likes to fill it up with his cars and bring them everywhere. It's the perfect size for him! Thanks Auntie and Uncle!
Luke received a goodie bag of treats from his Grandma Betsy. Luke is definitely a gift lover...maybe his love language??
play-doh!!
Here is one of the friends we visited with during our stay. This is Mollie. Her mom is a college friend of mine. Mollie is adorable and Luke completely invaded her home with cars!!

I unfortuantely did not get pictures of the other friends we visited. We also had so much seeing Christopher, Kaitlynn, Maggie, Mackenzie and Mica!! Thanks for a great visit!!

Luke at the Orchard

This weekend as a family we went to the local orchard (many more trips to come). Luke liked looking at the pumpkins (but not touching them), looking at the farm animals and of course enjoying a warm donut after we convinced him they were not longer hot. I have brought him to this same orchard for the past 3 years now (the first time he was less than 6 months old). Amazing how much he changes every time! Love this boy!

For some reason, I think this is the funniest picture ever of Luke. His expression is absolutely priceless.

Here is Luke telling Daddy his donut is hot. Better eat that donut quickly Luke before Daddy does!

Luke at School...

Luke started a school for 2 yr olds this year. It's 2 hours once a week and I stay with him. He loves it. His teachers are great (I tell Luke we're going to school and he says, "to see Tammy" who is his teacher). Luke is not a sensory guy...he hates having his hands dirty so he's not digging the finger painting but we had a huge break through this week where he would actually put on his paint smock and play with paint covered marbles. He's getting so big and I love spending this time with him. Here are some pictures from one of his first days.

Note: Blogger is having a hard time downloading my pictures. Will try again later.

The Cutest...

So...this picture is posted really late. We have great friends here in MI with three girls and one boy. The girls LOVE to take care of Luke and let's just say, he loves to be taken care of. One of the girls, Rachel, loved bringing Luke around in the toy mustang. Luke LOVED it. This boy never sits for longer than 2 minutes, so this was huge. Here's a few pictures of the fun...

If these two get married, this pictures is DEFINITELY being shown at the wedding!
