He was supposed to be on call at the hospital, but he secretly switched days. He left Sunday morning (for the hospital I thought), and then came back about 30 minutes later with a dozen roses! That was the first surprise the next one was that James put a rose and note in Luther’s bed. The plan was, when I went to get him up, ...

It was james’s spring break/summer break. We left at 2:30am on Saturday morning. We were hoping to do most of the traveling while luther was still asleep. Our plan worked well. We only had to stop twice. It was so nice traveling in our new van. That evening, we went to a wedding (Ashley & Josh) of some of my high school friend’s. It was a beautiful outdoor wedding, and luther seemed to enjoy himself. It was fun to see several old friends from high school. Sunday we went to church and then had a cookout. The weather was so beautiful all week long. It was in the 80’s and never rained. On Monday my dad took of work early to take us canoeing on a creek. We stopped twice on sandbars to swim and fish. L...

This was his first time to sit in his booster seat. somehow that made meal time much more messy!! that is butternut squash all over him :) Luther loves to cuddle with mommy What a great smile!! My dear friend Catherine from college came to visit last week. We had a great time catching up. Luther loved having someone else around to play with! Luther loves his toes!! As you can see, Luther has been having all kinds of fun lately!! We got a van last weekend with a lot of help from James’ dad. It is an early graduation present. It is a 2004 Nissan Quest. We really love it. It has power doors, leather interior and a DVD player!! We had been looking for an 2004 Quest, and lucke...

Luther and Abigail in the van on the way to see my family Luther enjoying the warm weather at my parents by taking a stroll Luther's first trip to the beach Eating at David's Catfish Yummy.... as Abigail put it!! Luther's first tractor ride with his grandaddy Grandaddy getting Luther's sugar Abigail loves the baby Luther with his Gran & Grandaddy Luther loves his great-grandmother The trip to see my family was wonderful. Getting there was a little rough, but not nearly as bad as I had imagined. Thank you so much for your prayers!! We had to stop several times, but were able to make the 8 ½ hr trip in 10hrs. I thought that was pretty good. Amazingly enough, the babies did not sleep very much. Neither Luther nor Abigail are very good nappers, but I thought a road trip would make them sleepy. Well, not our little ones!! I sat in the back most of the time feeding and entertaining them. It was such a ble...

This is my new favorite picture. the things i resort to, to get a little laundry done!! then, i still don't get it done, because he looks so cute i have to get out my camera and have a photo shoot!! Luther is his octopus outfit lounging in the back yard. notice, the outfit matches his nursery! hippy luther Luther & Bryce in there matching outfits!! Happy boy!! We love walks!! and luther loves his thumb! playing in the balls at church during playgroup Hope everyone enjoyed the video of Luther in the jump-a-roo that I posted last time. I direct the nursery at church on Sunday nights, and they have several of those there. I put Luther in one to change another baby’s diaper and he started bouncing away. I almost started crying!! My baby is growing way too fast. I had now idea that he was big enough to play in something like that. The funny this was that instead of bouncing he did what looked to be a river dance!! My grandfather was discharged from the hospital last week...
