Easter Fun

 

 

 

Tonight we had supper at Brock's parents. Luke got pushed in the swing by Clay and Caleb. I like the last picture a lot because I can remember pushing Clay in that swing when he was a baby and now he is pushing my baby.

Baseball!

Luke's 18 Month Thoughts

Luke's Interview

Watching his interview

Pre Earth Day

We kicked off Earth Day by taking our recycling down to the bin. Luke had a good time arranging his milk cartons.

I cannot get these pictures turned the right way. Sorry!

Close Call

Last night, we had some powerful storms come through Paragould. The tree to the right of our house (first picture) lost part of the top of its branches. They all landed on or right beside Luke's bedroom. In the last picture, the two holes by the crack are the tips of branches.
We are so thankful that the tree stayed in the upper part of the house, especially since Luke's bed is directly to the left of this crack.
Another amazing thing about this is Luke slept right through it!

Beautiful Day

Sunday was a beautiful day to be outside.

 Where's Luke?

 Sweet, Sweet- Luke and Peyton

Tonight our group of friends hosted a shower for Dana and Ben.

Luke had a good time playing outside.

Outside

This little boy has found two new loves- outside and chocolate chip cookies!

First Wagon Ride of Spring

Pointing out Ava's toes

On Thursday, Ava came home with us from the babysitter. It was great weather for a wagon ride. They were so cute riding around town. Although you can't tell it- and I couldn't tell it then- they both had strep throat. Heidi and I both found out the next morning. Poor Luke has been through it in the past three weeks- something like croup, his first ear infection, a crazy stomach virus, and then strep. Hopefully- he is on a health kick now!

Lessons

During spring break, Luke took going down stairs lessons! They took.
He is super cute and most of the time careful going up and down them.

Busy Boy

Hard at Work

 Looking out the window and saying, "Snow." The period of time when we had lots of snow was an impressionable one.

Hard at Play

17 Months Old

This photo shoot was not easy, but it is a perfect synopsis of our little boy right now- he is everywhere!
