Happy Halloween!

Superman and Spiderman. I still can't believe we actually convinced James to wear a costume. But when we told him he got to go visit Uncle Dan and Auntie Tine and get candy, that sealed the deal.

James polished off 2 bags of M&M's very happily! Then he helped Auntie Tine hand out candy, and for each piece she gave out he made sure to grab one for his pumpkin.

I love my little superheros! Happy Halloween!

James' Thanks

Thanks for pancakes. Thanks for milk. Thanks for Luker.

Go Jackets!

We had a really fun (albeit very wet) weekend cheering the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets to victory over UVA! Go Jackets!

From Ma to Mommy

Today is a momentous day for James and I. Today he has started to call me Mommy. That's right friends, now I get 2 syllables just like the rest of the family. We have Daddy, Luker, Puppy Doggie and now Mommy. Love it!

Something Silly

A little something to make you giggle. I have been having a little too much fun making montages.

Side note: When I was pregnant with Luke I had a sudden craving for a V8 while at Costco. Then 2 days later couldn't stand the stuff. So we have a few extra cans lying around.

Enjoy!

Fun at the Flu Clinic

Today the boys and I braved the flu clinic to try and get shots for both James and myself. We found a Tuesday morning clinic close by so we made appointments. The first 10 minutes we were in line James continued to fake cough and say very loudly, "I cough". I got a few weird looks from the mothers around us. So I said (a little louder so surrounding people could hear) "Stop your fake cough, you are not sick silly boy!". Then James would giggle. And I would feel a few less stares in our direction.

James was very brave, and stopped crying the instant the nurse handed him a lollipop. Then Luke started to fuss and she handed him one. Ah, silence! It is amazing what powers a lollipop has to soothe.

Below pictures of Luke's big boy room. For some reason I stuck with the same "aeronautical theme" as James room.

Help!

James and Luke LOVE to play in James' room. Today I snuck out quietly and went down the hall. A few minutes went by and Luke started to fuss. It was clearly the "where did mommy go" fuss, so I didn't hop right up to check on them. A minute later, Luke is still fussing and James comes running into my room and exclaims,

"Luker crying! Ma fix Luker."

And when I didn't move fast enough he told me,

"Luker NEED Ma!".



It's good to know James is watching out for his brother!

Birthday Party!

Today we had a bunch of friends over to celebrate Luke's first birthday. Boy did we have a fun time! A day full of toys, pumpkins and ice-cream cake. What more could a boy want?

Luke and Daddy getting ready for the party.

Some of the finished pumpkin heads.

Big boy Luke anxiously awaiting his cake. Yum!

Happy Birthday Luke!
