Luke's first time in the snow...

I just wanted to share a quick video of Luke's first time in the snow. We tried to get him to just sit there so I could take his pick but he had other plans. Too bad, Bella is crazy in the snow. Watch out!

New camera so watch out!

As some of you know, Stevo got me a new camera for my birthday/xmas gift. It is a Canon 40D and I am in love. So in love that I am selling anything I can on eBay so that I can get money to buy a super duper new lens. As you can also see, I'm so busy playing with it, that I have not had time to update the blog with Luke's xmas photos. I am hoping to do so tomorrow. I have been changing the top photo for anyone that has been paying attention. This newest photo is from tonight's bath. The only time I can get focused photos of Luke is when he is trapped in a bath or highchair.

And on another note, I am going to make Luke's YouTube videos private so that only my friends or those with links can view them. I got a sick and twisted comment by some teenage kid who happened upon a video of a baby laughing and it bothered me. So if you have a problem seeing the videos, let me know. There are definitely some sickos in this world!

Christmas card

Just in case you didn't get to see our Christmas card, here it is:

December update

As you can tell from the top photo, we took Luke to see Santa about a week and a half ago. He was great and didn't cry or anything but the problem was that they were rushing us along. Here are three things that they did not know:

1. I am a first time mom therefore I take 100 pictures of the same pose.
2. I just got a new camera and was still learning how to use it.
3. Luke is apparently fascinated by Santa's white gloves b/c it was impossible to get him to look up.

So needless to say, I got a snide comment asking if I was going to take any more pictures...whatever, lady. Merry Christmas to you too! Oh and could you please have waited until he looked up before you took his polaroid. thanks...

We also had a photo shoot at home the next day and while I've been dying to post pics from it, I finally managed to get my Christmas cards out yesterday and don't want to ruin the surprise. Hopefully some of you will get the cards in time for Christmas otherwise, consider them "Happy New Year" cards. :-)

I hope that you all have a fantastic Christmas and I'm on vacation after tomorrow until after New Years - woo hoo!!! So hopefully I'll be able to catch up on posting.

Misc pics from November

Here is a pic of Luke and his new favorite toys - Thank God for takeout...


Can little blue bears play football?


These three pics were taken all within less than one minute - little devil...






Handsome Luke...


On a side note - my lovely husband has bought me a new camera for my birthday. I am drooling over it and cannot wait until next Thursday when I can finally get my paws on it. Be on the lookout for new and improved pictures (hopefully).

Luke's 1st Thanksgiving and other thoughts

Last week was a lot of fun but a little chaotic. Rob, Beck, Sandy and Caroline came out from Denver so we were very excited to see them and for Luke to be able to play with his cousins. Of course, it was a lot of fun and I even managed to recruit Beck to be my Black Friday buddy. We are getting more and more excited about going to visit them in February (but am a little nervous about flying with Luke for the first time). Here is Luke with Caroline and Sandy:


The photoshoot didn't last very long...


Sandy feeding her baby cousin...




Look who showed up at Stevo's parents on Thanksgiving...lucky for it, we had already eaten...ha ha...


We also went to my parents' house and had a second seating for Thanksgiving - Luke got to see Me-ma and we took some pics of that:


I think I'll just hang here, Me-Ma...


And on another note - we are all getting really excited for Christmas...it is my absolute favorite time of year not only because my birthday is two weeks before but also because I love the decorations, shopping, wrapping, eating. I love it all. Hopefully Luke will gain my love for all things Christmas. We tried to get him started early.
