My Little Pumpkin

Luke is a pumpkin for Halloween....not that we are going trick-or-treating, but I just couldn't resist dressing him up. My dad has always called me his little pumpkin my whole life, and now I have a little pumkin of my own. Happy Halloween!

First Time for Everything....

Jeans. Yes, here is a picture of the first time Luke wore jeans...one of the many thousand times he will wear jeans the rest of his life! Aren't jeans great?

Together with Daddy

What a precious picture!!

Family Time

A couple of weekends ago we got to spend time with Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle Jon and Aunt Kristie. Grandma and Grandpa came in town and stayed with us, and Uncle Jon and Aunt Kristie came over to our house to hang out. We celebrated Uncle Jon's birthday. Luke was all smiles for Uncle Jon!! Happy Birthday Jon!

Bloom Where You're Planted!

Now that I have more time at home, one of my favorite things to do is cut flowers from my yard. I am looking forward to getting back out into the yard, once it gets cooler, so I can weed, trim and transplant some of my flowers. I think the flowers are a complete reflection of the beauty of the earth, and the best part is that they are free! I just love my perennials because they come back every year, bigger and bolder than the years before, and they are so cost effective! I enjoy putting the flowers in vases all around the house. I just wanted to show you some of my free arrangements. The purple asters are a fall perennial and I just love their vibrant color. I also have some red mini-roses blooming in my back yard flower pots. Enjoy the brilliance of God's creation!

Let's Go!

One of the most difficult things (actually several things seemed difficult at the time) for me at the beginning of being a new mom was not being physically able (after a C-Section) to make it to church, or anywhere else, for that matter. I always look forward to going to church each Sunday and being able to worship and grow in my faith. Well, we're back. We've been back at church now for 4 weeks, and I couldn't be happier. Luke has been doing really well in the nursery, which I'm really thankful for, and we have been enjoying our new pastor at First Baptist Colleyville. God has so richly blessed us, and I couldn't be happier (it also helps when your baby sleeps for an extended amount of time :)

Thank you GOD for all the many blessings!

Rub-a-dub-dub....Scrub-scrub-scrub

Bath Time is one of Luke's favorite parts of the day! I guess most babies like being in the water since it reminds them of where they were for 9 months. I love Luke's bath time because it truly is one of the most hilarious times!
