Little Men

Sam decided to "rock" Luke while I finished up some laundry. He has been such a huge help these days!! (Just click the play arrow below.)

Rub-a-dub-dub...


With a little assistance, Sam and Luke were able to take a bath together. (It's something Sam has wanted from the first day!)

Huntin' more eggs...




Our neighborhood had a big Easter "Eggstravaganza" for the kids, complete with 12,000 prize-filled eggs, bouncies, pony rides and more! The temperature was 72 degrees, so the kids had an amazing March afternoon.

Good Friday!




We had a "party" and egg hunt today at my parent's house. The weather was amazing, the food was delicious and Sam had a great time, but Luke slept right through most of the festivities!

Growing boy


Luke had a check-up today and we couldn't wait to see how much he's grown. Well, to our surprise he has gained 13 oz. and over an inch in the last 9 days! I could tell he was getting a little heavier, but never imagined it was that much. (His doctor was most impressed!)

I guess I really shouldn't be shocked since I produce about as much as the Mayfield Dairy and he definitely loves to eat!

Pajama Party!

Sam can't get over the fact that most of Luke's outfits are exactly the same as his pajamas. He used it as an excuse to stay in his own PJs all day!

(He is eating lunch in this picture.)

Mountain climber


Sam and his daddy climbed Kennesaw Mountain today, and are already eager to return. Sam carried his "backpack of supplies" all the way to the top. Then, they stopped to have a snack before heading down.

Sweet, sweet serenade...

Sam LOVES singing to Luke, and it's calmed the situation more than once!

Luke is home...

We are all so excited to have Luke home. I have hardly put him down, but I think he loves his room just the same.

And, Sam has been such a big helper!

Luke is here!





Everything went very smoothly, even if the epidural wore off before the actual birth! Here are the stats:

Full Name: Lucas James
Birthday: March 6, 2008
Time: 1:03 PM
Weight: 7 lbs. 12 oz.
Length: 20"

And, he looks exactly like Sam did when he was born!

Waiting patiently...


Sam is so excited that we will soon bring Luke home to his beautiful room! Today he named all the things that he wanted to do with his little brother...

1. go to Disney World
2. run through the sprinklers
3. take a bath
4. go camping
5. build sandcastles
6. hunt Easter eggs
7. play hide-and-seek
8. slide at the park

Sam sleeps soundly!


Sam played hard at the park with his friend Cassidy, so he was pretty tired last night. He refused to believe me, though, when I said we should go up to bed. I woke him up and he said (in a very sleepy voice), "No...no...I'm not tired."

Well, after that he was out like a light so I decided to have some fun. I started putting stuff on his head and he never moved a muscle. You can see the result!

Spring has sprung!





The weather this weekend is just beautiful...temps near 70 and a warm, bright sun! (We all have rosy cheeks to prove it.)

We spent the afternoon at Lake Acworth/Cauble Park. We fished, fed the ducks & geese and strolled along the beach. It was definitely a nice distraction from my constant contractions and hip pain!

Unfortunately, it's giving me the itch, though. I am really ready for long, sunny days.

Home Depot Kids Workshop



Every month Sam attends the Home Depot Kids Workshop, but it's always a father-son-activity. Today, however, Sam asked if I would go and "do the glue". Naturally, I said yes.

The project was a really cute race car!

Music Man

Sam found a new use for his Tinkertoy set!
