Meeting Cousin Micah

Last weekend, we got to meet my sister Alyssa and Jon's new baby boy. He is 5 weeks old and Luke's first cousin on my side of the family. All weekend, Luke was yelling "Meet Cousin Micah, Meet Cousin Micah". When he finally saw him, he couldn't stop laughing, and smiling, and petting him. The first time we attempted to take a picture of the two of them, Micah proceeded to spit up... Luke jumped away from him with this horrified look on his face as though he'd committed some unspeakable act. Luckily, he liked him enough to get close to him again!

Halloween

Since Luke has an obsession with tractors and tools, we decided to let him be Bob the Builder for Halloween. Actually, we just gave him a yellow vest, tool belt, and boots and he yelled out "Bob da bil-er". It's hard to believe that this is his 3rd Halloween. He's over 2 years old now and talking like crazy... of course, you need a translator to understand him! We took him to the harvest festival at our old church and he had a blast. It was pretty funny to watch him... he doesn't eat candy, so at every game booth, they would hand him some candy and he would take it from them and put it right back in the bucket they got it from! He could care less about the candy, he just wanted to throw the ball again!

This is Luke's best friend, Emily. He spends 2 days a week with her at Kerry's house and follows her everywhere.

Trip to the Pumpkin Patch

Well, I certainly haven't done my part in keeping this site updated. But as luck would have it, the holidays are almost here, so I should have plenty of excuses to post new pictures! Here was our first experience taking Luke to a pumpkin patch... the SoCal version, that is, which looks more like a carnival on a street corner with a few pumpkins and hay bales thrown in to remind us that it's fall! Whatever the case, Luke was in heaven, with live horses, a train ride, and a petting zoo.
