Picnic time

Mommy and Daddy decided that it was high time for the kids to start eating outside on a regular basis and as often as possible, so they are the proud owners of a new picnic table.

First dinner on the new table

We know that this will be something they will enjoy for years to come (and so will we since Brooklyn is happy to sweep up after they are done instead of Mommy mopping the floor every day!)

The calm between storms

It has been so wet and cold around here that when, for just a few minutes, the sun peeked through, Luke took advantage. He said, "Mommy, my sunshine is here. I need shoes!"


Thank you to Grandma who spotted this orange jacket for Luke. He LOVES it and was just so happy to have an orange jacket (because apparently no other color would do!)

What a difference a year makes

Last night I took some pictures of Luke climbing and sliding on his outdoor play structure that he got for his 1st birthday. He is ALL OVER IT. Climbing up the sides, swinging from the archway, sliding down the slide, and then doing it all over again.

Here are some pictures of him almost exactly one year ago ... so much has changed.
