Luke, I am your father

Cute daddy-son pictures. Do you think Luke looks like Ben?

Thanksgiving Pics

We had a great Thanksgiving this year. My favorite: the pumpkin pie, although Sue and Marian make a mean dutch apple pie that definitely competes. I am so grateful for a million things, especially the gospel, my Savior, and having so many people that I love in my life.

The girls love their Aunt Sue! Emma asked me the other day if Susie could live at our house.


I finally caught a good pic of Luke smiling! Look at those dimples! Grandma Bergin was tickling him and he loved it!

Banana Boats

Okay, if you have never tried banana boats, you need to. ASAP. We made them for FHE a few weeks ago. You just slice open a banana lengthwise, tuck in goodies like chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, peanut butter, mini marshmallows, etc., wrap up the bananas in foil and bake at 400 F for 20 minutes or so until the filling is melted and yummalicious. Scoop out and enjoy!

Pucker up!

My girls love grapefruit--straight up, no sugar on it. Weird, huh? Now I like grapefruit too, but I'm a grownup. Here are the girls sucking out all the juice they can get.

My Awesome Kids

I just have to brag up my cute kids a bit.

Emma played with Rachel all morning--reading whatever books Rachel wanted to read, helping her stack a huge tower of blocks, helping her color with markers. And then at lunch Emma dragged Rachel's chair over close to her chair so that they could sit right next to each other (and I mean RIGHT next to each other) and then Emma kept giving Rachel bites of her yogurt. It was the sweetest!

Last night Rachel kissed Luke's head and said "I love Luke so much." And then she proceeded to name all the people she loved "so much."

This morning, Luke GIGGLED. Now I know he's only seven weeks old, but he really did giggle! He loves it when I sing with him and move his arms around. I was singing "Roll Your Arms" to him and he giggled! My heart was mush.

Oh, how I love my kids!

My dad got to be here for bedtime with the girls Friday night--snuggles on Emma's bed!

Luke is about big enough to hold Rachel!

Luke is Blessed

Luke was blessed yesterday by his wonderful father. Thank you to all those attended and supported us! Luke has so much love in his life.

What great men Luke has to look up to!

The sleep-deprived parents!

The Grandmas (Granby--we wish you were in it too!)

My brother, Paul III with Paul IV

The main man! Look at his little tie!
