Labor Day Weekend

Nana and Papa visited for Labor Day weekend and we went to Stone Mountain to take Luke on his first train ride. He was very serious about it during the ride, just trying to take it all in, but we think he enjoyed it! Video of Luke and Josh running

The rainy weekend

It has rained all weekend here in Atlanta. Poor Noah has really been cheated out of the new long walk routine he and Josh have been doing since we moved here. It just hasn't stopped raining. And just when you think it has, it starts again as Josh found out Saturday when he thought he could take Noah out and they both came home soaked. To make matters worse, although we did try to get out of the apartment some, Luke must have been needing some freedom and the poor child had his first ever real temper tantrum Saturday over not being able to take his tricycle outside to ride. I've never seen him so upset, he cried and screamed for nearly 45 minutes and then did the little cry while catching your breath they do only when they've been crying so hard (not to mention that this was all occuring during the Gator game). I can't even remember what finally got him to calm down, but I thought he was going to do it again yesterday, but this time his fussiness was directed at wanting snack after snack after snack...I hope it lets up sometime today so he can go outside at daycare :) Come back sun!

All boy!

Luke is all boy!
This is how he came home from daycare one day...

sand in his hair (it was all over his head!)


and lunch all over his clothes!

Atlanta Aquarium

My parents came to visit us in late July and we went to the Aquarium. It truly was spectacular, although extremely crowded! I'm glad we went, but we can wait a while to go back :)
Josh did an amazing job taking pictures, here are some of them, but we must have about 30 great shots!

Trip to NC in July

My job didn't start until July 20th, so Luke and I took advantage of our long summer break by heading up to Brevard NC to visit GGma,GGpa, and Great-aunt Greta! Grammy (Josh's mom) was also there at the same time and our friends Uncle Walter and Aunt Andi and Sophia were at a campground about 25 minutes away so it was a great time to go visit everyone! We had such a blast and look forward to going back the next chance we get.

More pictures of Luke

Here are some more photos of Luke.
The first series features Luke modeling various gifts and outfits he has been given, just so you special gifters know he does wear/use all of them and loves them!
Thanks for sending them :)




Next are just some phots I love of Luke, the new background in these if you are wondering is our Atlanta apartment.
