Always a Tiger

No matter who leaves or joins the team, Luke will always be a Tiger!

Finally!

Although some may disagree, Claire and Mommy both believe that Ava finally has enough hair for a pony tail!

When can I go to school???


School is off to a great start for Claire (2nd grade) and Tommy (kindergarten)! They both love their teachers and their new school. I think Luke is adjusting to them not being around during the day.....although he was a little bit sad at the beginning.

The first day of school, after we had dropped off Claire and Tommy, Luke very matter of factly said to me, "Tommy told me that I'm the king of the house now since he's at school all day." I did my best to keep a straight face - he was so serious about his new responsibilities!

Summer Fun

The summer is flying by! Here are some pictures from our recent outing to Greenfield Village. We had a fun day visiting the working farm, the old houses and the roundhouse, of course! The kids especially enjoyed riding the carousel. And the boys were even able to play some old-time baseball.

"Let's go!"




Batter up!

Ava's eleven months old!



In honor of my eleven-month birthday yesterday, here are eleven of my favorite things:

1. Favorite food....cheerios, grapes, chicken...anything I can pick up and eat by myself!
2. Favorite indoor activity....reading (really chewing on books, but let's say it's reading)
3. Favorite outdoor activity....swinging
4. Favorite sleeping position....on my stomach, with my head on a pillow, of course!
5. Favorite piece of clothing....my snuggly sleeper
6. Favorite song....whatever Claire or Tommy are playing on the piano
7. Favorite place to go....church....the perfect quiet place for me to be cute and LOUD
8. Favorite time of day....morning
9. Favorite toy.....tupperware
10. Favorite room.....family room
11. Favorite new skill I've been practicing.....standing up on my own

Happy Birthday Luke!

Three years old today!
