Random Pictures

There's not much of a story to these pictures, I just thought they were cute...

Rarely do we catch Luke still snuggling in his bed. By the time he's ready to get up from his nap he's usually standing up, waiting for you (sometimes jumping up & down). We had to grab these while we could...


Abby came over to play yesterday. I walked by while she was lounging on the chair like this & I thought it was so funny I had to grab my camera :-)

Grace Playdate

Sunday Madison had some of her friends over for a play date. It was nice to get the girls together outside of school (there are only 3 out of the 10 in her class). Natalie brought along her little brother Christopher so Luke had a friend too.

Luke & Christopher

Emma, Natalie & Madison (no one would look directly at me)

Madison & Emma having a "sleepover"

Music & Movement

Luke-man has started a music class in Los Gatos on Wednesdays. I am not very musically inclined (as much as I wish I were) but this class is amazing! He has really taken to it quickly. Best part (for Mommy) is that we are in the class with my girlfriend Heidi & her 2 boys so we get to see each other every week!
Thomas, Luke & Theo practicing their frog jumps before class

Theo is an old pro (they have taken the class a few times)

Getting excited for class

Let the drum pounding begin

They were moving too quickly for me to get many decent pictures but at least they were having a blast :-)

Master Grillers

Anyone who knows Grandpa Silly knows how seriously he takes his BBQ. Someday I know he'll pass his talents onto our little monkeys. For now they are making do with the necessary headlamps :-)

Big Sister Party

Sunday morning our playgroup celebrated Paige & Lauren's impending big-sisterhood with a Big Sister Party! It was such a great time & good to have the entire group together.

One of the ladies of the hour, Lauren, and her cousin Elizabeth

Elizabeth very excited to celebrate :-)

Late add...

My girlfriend Amy just sent me this picture from Paige's birthday party & I had to add it to the blog...

That kid with his face planted in the cupcake? That's our Luke-man! Well done buddy :-)
