sweaters in august

We went to Seattle and back in a matter of 48 hours this weekend and boy did it wipe me out.  It was more than worth it to be there to see Michael's best childhood friend, Caleb, marry his new wife, Daron.  It was the most beautiful setting for a wedding I have ever seen.  I will post pictures when I get them sent to me since I forgot my camera!  (major bummer)  

The weather turned out beautiful and was nice and cool all weekend.  Really, I thought it was cool until we returned home where the low last night was 42 degrees.   What??  It's August people.   I took these pictures of Luke tonight as he was playing outside.  In a sweater.  In August.

I promise they do this without any prompting.

Sunday Funday

We headed out to Saugatuck (a quaint little town about 45 minutes away) this afternoon after Michael woke up from his post-call haze.  What a treat!  It was the cutest little town and the clouds finally rolled away for us to enjoy an awesome 60 degree evening!  Here are some pics of our funday!  

Aunt Val's here!!

Not much time to post because we are busy having fun, but we are so excited to have Val here to play.  Michael's on call today so I am so happy to have her here to spend some time with!  Luke is loving it too in case you can't tell by the pictures.  :)  

the simple things...

are the most fun sometimes.   Luke has found the most random things to be fun toys lately and I am loving it!  So much for all those expensive toys, give this boy a fly swatter, a bowl, and a blanket tent and he's busy for hours.  It might be the age too, but he has gotten so good at playing by himself lately.  He still loves a playmate but it's nice to be able to empty the dishwasher without someone crawling up my legs.  :)

the new hair-do

I took Luke for a trim yesterday and as the girl was cutting it I was thinking "that's too short.  He doesn't look like a baby any more."  But I've already gotten used to it and think he looks pretty cute!  I think he thinks so too. :)
