LHW

Things are going well at our house. We've enjoyed all the company and help with Luke and Adam over the past two weeks. Now it is reality. KK left today and so tomorrow will be my first day home with just me, Adam and Luke. I think we'll be fine.

Here are some things happening with us:
1. Luke does not like a wet diaper. I repeat, does NOT like a wet diaper. As a result, we go through many diapers a day. We should buy stock in Pampers.
2. Adam is still making THOUSANDS of laps a day around our kitchen table playing with cars, trains, or anything mobile.
3. Bucky has finished up with Amazing Race. The awards ceremony is tomorrow night.
4. I am still reading the Karen Kingsbury Firstborn series. I'm on the fourth book and they are an easy read with Christian values. Love it.

I don't think we have anything going on tonight. Luke is down for a nap, Adam is playing his Leapster, and I've swept, dusted, and all those other fun things. I need to go put some clothes in the dryer. Bucky should be home in a little bit.

Our yard needs to be mowed but it looks like we may get a shower at any time.

I think this is the first picture of Adam and Luke where Adam is sitting up straight. He most usually lays his head on Luke's when he holds him. He likes to take his lips and run them over Luke's hair. Now if we can only get Luke to smile. :)

We've had a good day. Bucky worked except for when he was home with Luke while Adam and I went to the library and to get our hair cut. I kept Adam's a little longer this time since he's Leslie's ring bearer on the 15th. Thought it might look better...

Karen is coming tonight. Nana and Poppy are coming tomorrow. I think our meals our over so I guess I have to start cooking again. It was such a blessing while it lasted!

In one month Adam will be 4! Luke is two weeks old today!

Whew! Today was a good but long day. Everything went fairly smooth. Everyone couldn't believe I was there but I could not imagine missing the first day. I have lots of nice students and a few boys that I think will try me along the way but I guess I'm used to that after last year. Bucky was here with Adam and Luke and Megan was here as well to help out. My guys sent me flowers today. Very sweet! Bucky is at church today and then tomorrow he's taking Adam to watch the Bengals practice is Georgetown. I think Adam will like this...make that LOVE!

Luke's trip to the doctor yesterday was awesome. Dr. Patterson said Luke was "gorgeous" and "perfect." She is very easy to talk to and super friendly. He is up to 7 pounds and 3 ounces.

I had to post this picture of Adam. Megan said he picked out this shirt to wear today. He has done so well with the transition with Luke. Tonight I gave Luke a bath and he was in charge of washing his legs and feet. Even though he's not really good at wringing out a washcloth, he did a good job. I love a baby after a bath-so fresh.

We're still enjoying meals being brought in. Lately we've had a Mexican dish, pecan encrusted chicken with sweet potato casserole and Oriental salad, and then today we had chicken salad with crossaints. Yum!

More later!

Luke's First Day at JCC

It was good to be at church today. Luke did well. He ate during church and his burps weren't too noticeable I hope. He looked "so adorable" as his shirt said and we even wore the shoes KK had gotten him. I know they don't match but Kim said it didn't matter. When you're that cute, the fashion rules don't apply! The kids are coming by the house for a challenge for Amazing Race. There are almost 500 forks in our yard and about 10 of them have colored prongs. When you get a colored prong you get the clue for the next challenge. This should be fun. Tomorrow is a big day for me. It's a PD day and then Open House tomorrow night. I am excited and apprehensive too. I haven't had to "do" something all day for quite a while.

High five, little brother!
Swing batter!

Granddad (to Adam about Luke) Think we're going to keep him?

Adam: Yeah, cause we need him.

Precious!

Mom and Dad left today. Kim is here tonight. Adam is ready to play outside. Tomorrow is Luke's first trip to church. It should be exciting!

Another good day here at our house. Bucky worked half the day to get ready for Amazing Race on Sunday. We've done this and that around the house. Luke and I ventured out on the front porch to watch Gran, Granddad, and Adam play baseball. It's a pretty day but with all the rain we've had our yard looks like a jungle!

Bucky and I did go out and about. I wanted to check out the deals at KMart. I needed just a few shirts and a pair of capris to get through Open House and the first day of school. Amy would be proud of all my deals--I got a dress for $3.60. Awesome!
