Happy New Year!!!

Hope you all had a joyous Christmas season. We sure did. It's been about two weeks since we've seen the ground, as we are buried in snow with sub freezing temperatures...but it is pretty!!! We got to have everyone to our house this year...which was so relaxing and wonderful. It gave Kyle and me a chance to get the house all ready to put on the market (painting, packing, more painting, etc.) and to go on a date or two!!! We wish you all the best for 2010...I wonder where we will be celebrating our holidays in 2010??? Hopefully a new house with fewer stairs and a place for me to have a garden!!!

'Tis the Season!

What a fun season this is! Luke is so much more aware of all the wonders of Christmas. He says "Oooooh!" at all the lights and of course says "Ball" when he sees Christmas ornaments.
We went to a Christmas tree farm and Daddy cut down a real tree...a first for me and Luke! We even got to take a tractor ride, which Luke loved...except for when we went up a big hill and Daddy and Luke almost slid off the back :)
The tree flew off the top of the car and into the middle of 435, but we eventually got it home and decorated, although SCARCELY as Luke is very interested in all the decorations. :)
We are so excited to have family coming to our home for Christmas this year, as we get the house ready to put on the market!!!
Hope all of you are healthy and enjoying this holiday season!!!

Thanksgiving

We have had a very busy month. We are very glad to be on break from school and to have had some time to share with family. For Thanksgiving, we had Grandpa Ron and Uncles Ben and Stephen at our house for a big dinner. We spent Friday shopping and playing at Zona Rosa with the big Christmas tree and the KC Museum Igloo...what fun and great weather for being outside. It's hard to belive Christmas will be here in less than a month. We are looking forward to watching Luke take in all the sights and sounds of this magical time of year. We will be using most of our break to get our house ready to sell!!! Cross your fingers!!!
Luke is now saying "puppy" and "Hi!" and he loves playing with shoes, feeding Hadlie her puppy food, and playing with mommy's make up brushes and hair brushes.
He has also figured out how to climb on the furniture, so we have to keep our eyes on him at all times. He's so fun!!
Happy Holidays.

We had so much fun this Halloween. On Friday night, Luke had a sitter while mommy and daddy went to a costume party. Saturday was SO beautiful outside. We carved our pumpkin. Mommy and Luke went to the pet store, where they had puppy adoptions, and Luke was SO excited as he looked, giggled, and shrieked at all the "pup pups"...which got him ready for his costume. Luke dressed up as our dog, Hadlie, for Trick or Treating. We took him up to Smithville and Grandma Ginny took him around to all of their neighbors on the wagon. Luke got LOTS of candy for mommy and daddy to eat!! We ended the night by making a fire in our fire pit in the driveway, while we passed out candy. YAY for Halloween.
Now onto the holiday season...where has the time gone?

Hooray for Fall!

Fall is here. Chilly, crisp weather. Leaves dropping. Trees trasforming into glowing oranges and reds. We took Luke to Weston to the Red Barn Farm and had so much fun. He loved the chickens and goats and cows...but, of course, everything is "kitty" and "meow..." We've decided to dress Luke up as Hadlie for Halloween. Should be easy to make him into a brown dog, and he loves to say "pup pup," so it should be really cute.
We love Fall!!!

Our little baby is one!!!

Luke had SUCH a great time at his birthday party. We had so many friends and family and it was just a blast. Luke got LOTS of great toys...including "truck trucks" and he has been having such fun playing with all of them. Of course, our house looks like a toy store!!! He is taking 3 or 4 steps at a time, so it won't be long before we really have our hands full. What fun!
