Dance Party and Horsey Rides...

So usually one night a week after supper...we just let things go. We turn on some fun music Ryan and I have a drink and we all dance. Levi is great at showing us his "dance tricks" and Maci loves to dance with her dadda. We also take turns doing horsey rides, and tiger fights. This can be quite entertaining and Luke gets scared of all the growling and ruckus. But what fun it is to laugh as a family and at each other and the kids are tired out for bed.

Levi's First Day of Preschool

Levi has started going to preschool at Orchard Hill Church and he seems to love it once he is in the door. He goes on Tuesday and Thursday mornings and those are very busy days for us. Maci misses Levi and says that she wants to go to school too...but the time goes by so fast and we are all loading up in the car to pick him up. Levi still has to get demagnetized as his teacher says...the leg clinging "magnet" has to get shaken off most mornings. It has gotten better and I have gotten smarter and leave the other kids in the car with this whole process.Levi thought it was funny that his teachers names were the same as his aunts...Ms Melanie and Ms Allison. Levi already was writing his name but practices that and also is excited for when he can be line leader. When I asked him each day what he learned he says " nothing.I know what they are talking about"...so I am sure that he will learn plenty of  new things soon..:)

Luke is 3 months old 9/6/12

Levi August 2008

It has been a great blessing to have been off all summer to adjust and transition to our newest member of the family. But it is time for mom to head back to work one day a week now. I hope my experiences at home with a newborn will help my patients too. Luke has been a great baby the last couple of weeks and we are getting the routine down with all the kids. It has been a crazy summer and it went by so fast. Luke is cooing, smiling and interacting alot more. He loves to watch Levi and Maci play and to be outside. He is a snuggly little baby who is growing up so fast already. He sleeps in the morning and then takes an afternoon nap and sometimes a nap before supper. He drinks about 5 oz of milk and loves taking his bath.
