Diving in

We have to be careful now when Luke sees a pillow b/c he likes to put it on the floor and dive into it head first! Yikes. It isn't really a practice I want to encourage so we have nixed it but on Monday, I took some couch cushions off and played with him while he practiced his head dives. At one point he got hold of the camera while he was laying down, got it on and took this flattering shot of mama. yikes, again!




Luke and I were very lucky to visit one of the bravest and toughest people I know today! Molly is a fifth grader that had back surgery to correct a curve in her spine two weeks ago. Her entire story can be read here: http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/mollymorgan She is just an amazing young lady (so is her little sister!) and I am sure that she gets all of her wonderful qualities from her mom and dad. They are a great family that just add positivity and joy wherever they are.

Luke was really great during the visit. He loved petting their dogs (using his 'nice touch' thankfully. Keep healing, Molly! We are all cheering for you :)

After our visit we made our now regular run for chicken and dumplings in Herrin. We thought we might see the newly arrived Gma Susan and Gpa Paul, but hadn't heard from them and didn't want to disturb them if they were sleeping off jetlag. Luke will be really happy to see them after a two week absence, and we will look forward to hearing about their adventure to Sicily!

We took lunch to Daddy which was fun and passed out Halloween cookies from a great new bakery in our neighborhood and by the time we got home, I took Luke's shoes off, took him in his room to rock him and he just lunged towards his crib. I laid him down and he closed his eyes immediately. What a sweetpea. Happy Friday!
