Winter Reading

Dave and Luke are at it again. This picture is a sequal to the one where Luke was sleeping in Dave's lap while he was reading an annual report. Now Luke is reading "Everything you need to know about wills and estate planning."

I have been enjoying this winter and the snow. This has been the best cross country skiing year that I can remember.

Here are my favorite things about Luke in Febuary. He gets so excited about brusselsprouts and broccoli. He is starting to use please, thank you, I'm sorry, I loved you, and excuse me on a regular basis. He loves dancing with his mama. He lets me hold him for three entire songs as we bounce and spin around the house.

Visitors

Luke loves visitors. Here are Leah and Zac from Pittsburgh.

Erin and her husband David from Illinois.

Luke and Eli.

Christmas

Christmas is a wonderful time of year. Dave and I enjoyed spending time with both families. Luke loved getting so much attention for the 5 days we were with family. Posted above is a picture of Grandad and his 7 grandson's. The next is a picture of my entire family.

Luke is underwater in the sting ray and shark tank. We took him to the aquarium and he was only somewhat scared. He wanted to be held the entire time. He really liked the gift store the best.

Riley and Jackie taught Luke all sorts of fun things over Christmas. He loves the books they gave him.

Dave and baby Jake. This is a picture of Julie and Tom's 4 month old baby.

Almost the Christmas Card Picture

Luke is best captured on video camera. As you can see, in the first two pictures Luke is in action and can not stay still. The other two pictures are of Grandma and Grandpa Krause's house. Luke loved the entire light show they had on display, especially the train. The train has been snowed under for the majority of the winter.

Pea pod in action

One of the reasons we have not added a post in so long is because Luke will not stay still for a picture. He was a pea pod for Halloween and he enjoyed throwing his velcro peas across the room. Thus, I do not have a photo of him in the costume with all peas accounted for.

The pictures of Dave and Luke are some of my favorites. This field is right at the end of our block and Luke and I go there often to play in the field.
