Visiting with Friends

The past few days, we have had our friends Amanda, Darcy & Clara here visiting... Here's Darcy & Luke sitting by each other at dinner...

 Anna, Clara & Darcy playing

 Anna & Clara had a picnic on the back porch one night when we were having lovely weather.

 Anna got some new Max & Ruby books for Valentine's Day!

 Luke was most excited about eating his wrapping paper.



Playgroup Valentine's Party

Today we had our Valentine's party... I think Luke is getting a kiss here!

 Luke is ready to pick up his Valentine's date!

 Here's Anna doing her cute ladybug photo frame craft!

 Some of the heart shaped treats...

 Anna's getting a ride from Zachary!

 Group shot!  I think all the kids are actually in the photo!

 Uh oh!  Luke's in jail!

 And here's Anna at home eating the Fun Dip that a friend gave her for Valentine's.



Superbowl Party!

We had fun at the Superbowl party with friends... Here's Anna and her buddy, Lincoln having some food!

Luke watched tv while he ate.

 Here's Luke getting his hair done.

 And here's Luke with his babysitter, Kendall, and his future babysitter, Kaedyn.

Last Week

Last Sunday, Mark got us free tickets to see the Harlem Globetrotters.  It was a bit crazy with the kids, but at least we were in a nice suite with yummy food!

 Anna enjoyed the food more than the game.

 Here's Luke escaping his makeshift playpen.

 We were snowed/iced in all week and luckily had a Girls' Night Out planned for Friday!  Here we are at the yummy Italian restaurant.

 And here's me later on the snow potty.  Boy, our GNO's get wild and crazy!

 Luke is cruising everywhere now and likes to be wherever his sister is.... especially when she's eating.

 She decided to be nice and feed him some... he loved it!



Luke is 9 Months Old!

I can't believe Luke is 9 months old today!!  My baby is growing toooo fast!  It was a beautiful day to celebrate.  It was warm enough for me to wear short sleeves & flip-flops when we went to the park!  We  packed a little picnic and enjoyed that before we played.

We rode in the wagon to the park and Anna finished her lunch when we rode home.  Luke stole Anna's juice box and chewed on it.

Anna's getting too big for this swing, but still likes it. :D

Luke has been cruising around and pulling up and can also walk around behind his push toys.  oh my!

A Haircut and Pulling Up

Today was the first haircut Anna's had since my aunt gave her the 1st one when she was little bitty.  Here she was concentrating on watching Dora, the movie she got to pick to watch while getting her haircut.

 She also got a braid.  Don't worry - the bandage is only covering a minor scratch. :)

Luke is now pulling up on everything in the house and cruising around couches and things.  Where did my baby go??  Please excuse the mess in the background. :D



This and That

JuJu made us cute matching aprons, so Anna & I made some yummy cookies to take to our new neighbors!

 Anna was really good at sifting the flour. :)

 Here's the new train Granny gave the kids for Christmas and the train table Papa made.  Anna loves her new train!  I love Luke's expression in this one. :)

 Poor Luke... this is the sad fate of a little boy who has a big sister.  haha!

 And here was Luke after enjoying some spaghetti.  Is it me or does he look way too grown up in this one??
