Arranged sleep

Luke was very deliberate last Friday as I sang him to sleep. He arranged his legs this way, and he was still in this pose over an hour later when we checked on him.

Introducing...

Onesie, the wonderdog. Or should I have spelled it onederdog?





Not only is this title unique, it makes Luke giggle every time he hears it! We are happy to have another canine in the house! 1-11-11, the day that we met her had a little something to do with her name. Good work, Steve!

Snow Day (Again!)

We had another snow day today! The decision maker is a brilliant man and I like him a lot.

Anyway, we (yes it is true) played, we slept in since Luke was a total spaz last night and kept us up for his shenanigans, and we went out in the snow for a quick spin in the laundry basket.




















Luke also ate a double cheeseburger in about 14 seconds and...wait for it...we got a new dog. More on her later. I would happily work an extra week or two into June if we could work out a snowday once every couple of weeks.

Blue House

I am pretty sure that I talk about houses and watch House Hunters too much since Luke now will eagerly draw a BLUE HOUSE at any opportunity and one of his favorite sentences is "I love House Hunters, too, Mommy" Here is an example of his architectural design.

I GOT THIS

Luke found some wrapping paper in my closet the other day and Steve found him excitedly unwrapping the cardboard tube and then yelling "I got this". Classic.










I just asked Luke if he wanted to stay home today and he said 'yes, stay home'. I said 'I am down' and he said "I am down, too" Here is some pictures for my demanding comment maker :) Did I mention that one of Luke's sweet babysitters, Leah, is getting married in the fall and asked if Luke could be her ringbearer. Precious!

Right now

Here we go

Cheers to a new year!

Our night in pictures. Minus a somewhat disastrous and short date that Steve and I attempted. Whatever. The start of 2011 has been one worth smiling about
and worth being hopeful and optimistic about...I love my family.

and go...










Cheers to all the adventures and joys that 2010 brought and to the wishes everyone has for 2011.
