and a few more - but mostly the girl

so we've been getting out more and more lately

(smiling mommy!!!!!!!)

and here is the girl dining out like a big girl at Big Wing Wah

(big girl = pony tail)

here are the two together..

it's not a very good picture - but you can see here that Luke is just about as big as Anna

and he's started to wave - so not only is he a giant - he's uber advanced

Luke has finally learned how to sleep...

hence the slim pickings with the pictures

Here's an awake moment... as always - in the swingbig girl with a pony tail

Anna has found her new favorite store - Claire's
She's quite fond of the crowns -

and she's mastered her phony smile

super cute bunny-ear-barrettes

and finally some more...

Here's my boy just being cute (is this one a repeat?)

Here is Anna in her new carriage.......

And here is the proper use of the new carriage...
Here is the girl with her new boots - FABULOUS

Here is one of the boy being manly.........Here is the girl with her new favorite...

MAGIC MARKERS!

And although Luke refuses to use a pacifier -

he seems to like his thumb!

Here is the girl helping out around the house....

quite the sweeper!

And here is the boy being cute

AGAIN

PHEW! Where have I been!?!?!?!

And finally - I'm back with more!!!!!!!!!!

First a quick update - we went to the doctor for Luke's 1 month appointment...

in one month - the boy has gained a half an inch and 3 lbs

grand total - 13 1/2 lbs

MOO

So here are a few pictures - in no particular order -

considering right now, my life has no order

I know some of these are really dark - but they're just so cute - I can't bear to delete them!!!!!!

Here is one of Luke being cute -before the 60 degree days!!!!!!!!

Here is Luke in the first of his Yankee digs...

terribly cute - yes, I know

This one was actually from today....

Can you stand it???!??

Here is the girl.... Uncle Jon bought her the CUTEST dress

Notice her hands... she's in a perfect dress pose

Now this contraption..........

I have to admit - I'm the one who demanded it -

and I'm the one that went out and bought it-

and honestly - I'm the one that has FALLEN IN LOVE with the dreaded double stroller

(second to Anna of course)
and I'm going to be the one pushing it around because Dan is so horrified by this thing he refuses to push it anywhere but the living room.

I made Anna a gigantic SpongeBob pillow and she totally fell in love with this too!
every time we were in WalMart - I told Dan we should get her one of those big dog beds -

and he refused

so I made her one.. and it is FAN~TAS~TIC

here's a cute one of Luke

and honestly - when he sleeps - it MUST be documented!

If this brother / sister moment doesn't melt your heart.......
(and look how Luke is totally ignoring Anna)

This is the girl enjoying some delicious Wendy'sMore sleeping on Bob -
