I'll try to get these in order.....

let the games begin

To start things off -

we were so happy that Luke took to the walker like a pro

totally loves it

feet reach the floor

(like there was any question of it!)

and he gets it - play with the toys -

keep self occupied so parents can get stuff done

good. right?

you'd think

Having children - I have learned that all things come with a price

while one moves up -

the other moves back...

I know there are a zillion pictures of Anna in the driveway

but she's just too cute -

and I'm quite pleased with the new nice weather

so get ready

also, it wears her out like you wouldn't believe

hence the sitting

this picture just shows that Anna has mastered the art of wearing a headband

its a landmark event

picking driveway flowers
I was so happy to have a picture of myself with the girl..
then remember to send it to work so I can put it on here
and I finally look at the pics -

and realize that its one of those pictures where I look like a homeless lady
oh well, I'm putting it on here anyway

so after the walk - the girl passed out big time - and I think I'm finally going to be able to get things done
think again
because Luke slept thru the

entire
long
exhausting walk...
he's away and ready to go

and here you can see that he is almost officially TOO BIG for the pack & play

well - what lasted 20 months for the girl -

almost made it 4 months with him

greeeeaaaaatttt

because the weather was so nice -

we decided to have the first bbq

things are a little different these days...

in the past - we had the

SPRING INTO SPRING SPRING FLING

and it was fun and wild and crazy and lasted into the wee hours of the morning

now - we each ate a hot dog outside- but came in once it got dark

I know - we're wild
but Anna couldn't have been happier

Luke, on the other hand, slept through the whole bitso then we come inside to finish the hot dog and eat some baby food

and then the fun starts

CARRIE -

THIS

IS

YOUR

LIFE

Luke was tired

Anna was ticked that he was in her chair

then I told a story with a punchline that startled Luke

Luke freaked out because he was over-tired from the insanity that was our bbq

and Anna freak because Luke's chair (which she wanted to be in) was turned around -

and she thought she was missing out on something

this is my new, updated version of a wild & crazy night

but there is no problem that can't be fixed by a little naked time
