K3

Luke's class this year. Two girls, six boys!

L. U. K. E.

Proud momma. Luke has finally learned how to verbally spell his name and semi write it! He is so proud!

Just a little ice

But it is white like snow! We just had to venture out!

Someone special has a birthday and we have been working hard to make it a special day for her! Happy birthday Anny!

Scrub a dub

Luke helped wash Henry's hair tonight. And while he was helping Henry found his belly button!! Made me smile.

Another 4

Watching the inauguration. The year Luke was born was the year Obama took office.

Busy work

I was willing to risk the mess factor with this activity so that I could cook dinner with two hands and without interruptions. It definitely got messy but I made it half way through cooking before i had to step in so it was worth it. Half of a bag of dried black eyed peas and random containers go a long way!

Mud happens

Tired boys

So sweet when they sleep! :)

Counting sheep

Henry was never a good sleeper, until he turned 1. He was always the up ever hour kind of baby. I don't know how I was able to function back then when I got so little sleep but yet worked full time. Once he turned one he started sleeping through the night and it was wonderful!! Now however we seem to have reverted back to old habits.
Henry does not want to be in his bed, he wants to sleep in a real bed!! Although Henry had been trying to show me this for a while, I am just catching on. Tonight after another fit at bed time I decided to let him show me what he wanted. He took me into the hall, pointed to Luke's room. I took him into Luke's room and he
pointed to the bed. Point taken. He fell asleep within 5 minutes. This might be a one time thing or a done deal. Only time will tell. For now I will just have to close my eyes as I walk past his empty baby nursery! :*(

The pictures are of my boys in their matching twin beds.

Miss Priss

We got to have a little extra Adaline time last night! She spent the night with us, alone! Luke shared his room with her and I had a great time having another girl in the house! What a change for me!! Come back anytime Adaline! We loved having you!

Bath time with Adaline!

Racing with Adaline!

Church with Adaline!

Snuggles with Adaline!

Henry brushing Adaline's hair!

Are you done sleeping yet Adaline? I want to play with you!!

Mustache

Just a little fun with the fam!

Carlisle Christmas

We celebrated Christmas with the Carlisles this past weekend! It was fun to extend Christmas for a whole week! Each family member draws a name, adults for adults and kids for kids, and it is fun to see what each person gets! On top of that mom and dad served a delicious dinner and we finished the night by singing Happy Birthday to Thomas!! He turned 32 on Saturday! And of course there was a little game playing!

We started Thurday night at Hopelands Gardens! We love holiday lights!

The whole family, minus Thomas, made it! It looks like Patrick is wearing a crown in this picture but he isn't! Its Christmas lights in the background.

Let the presents begin!

 Emma Kate! She will be 1 this month but is already walking!!

 Tyler! He turned 2 in August and spent all of Saturday playing with us! Tyler loves his Luke!

Adaline, or what most of us call her, Miss A. What a priss!

All the kids! So hard to get a good picture right now! But the memories are still there!

Happy Birthday to Thomas!
