Life's a beach...

A great family vacation to the beach is just what I needed!! It was so nice and relaxing!  Luke LOVED going down to the beach in the evenings after the sun went down. He loved the sound of the waves and the wind blowing.. he loved it so much that he slept 6 hours straight at night!! I think we need to move to the beach ; )

I can't wait to go back to the beach next year when Luke is older and can play in the sand and water!!

One month

Tissue, please! I can't believe our baby boy is already a month old today... seems like just yesterday we were at the hospital having him. He is the best baby ever and I have enjoyed this first month SO much and can't wait for many more to come!!

we love you Luke!!

Oh yeah, and Luke took me shopping today!!!!

I'm a lucky mama : )



my world!!

 my purpose in life: to be Kyle's wife and Luke's mama--Two titles I am honored to have!!

Luke loves his daddy! Look how he just stares at him.. melts my heart!!

"I've got a hold of ya daddy.... and I'm not letting you go!... we're a team!!"

sibling love!

We had Ashlyn this weekend (the first weekend she's been to stay with us since Luke has been born) and let me tell you- she is an AWESOME big sister!! She talked to him (she kept saying "hey Luke I'm your big sister Ashlyn") and sang to him (Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and Rock A Bye Baby).. I think he liked it b/c he smiled several times when she was singing to him! She was so funny b/c she would sing it the way Kyle used to sing it to her she said (instead of "like a diamond in the sky" he would say "like McDonalds in the sky"-- haha it was cute to hear her sing it!)

Ashlyn rocking Luke

Ashlyn wanted to go outside and draw with her sidewalk chalk. I walked out later to see what she had done and saw this.. SO SWEET!! : )
