Trip to North Carolina

Josh had another fellowship interview, this one at Duke. Luke and I went along so we could visit with our good friends the Dungans and the Samuels. Luke got to meet Clark Dungan who is not quite 6 weeks older than him. They got along great, Clark was very kind to Luke in showing him were all of the toys were in his house. I guess we didn't take too many pictures while we were there, but here are a few of the shots we got. We had a great time and really miss our NC friends!

Luke's First Birthday!!!

Luke turned one year old today! He had both sets of grandparents and many of our neighbor friends over to celebrate the occasion. Luke had a little "smash" cake all to himself, although he didn't really get into the smashing of it. Luke was spoiled with all of the wonderful gifts he received, thank you to all of you friends and family that helped make his birthday so special!
