Super Daddy!!

Not only does he work crazy hours at a sometimes crazy job, he loves us all so well when he comes home! I knew this rotation was going to be bad but man, when he's home with us he sure turns on his A game. I am so thankful for such an awesome baby daddy (and husband)!

We had another great weekend with him and finally got some sunny (though chilly) weather on a Saturday for us. Went out to Schwallier's Country Basket to pick some apples and see the animals. Have I mentioned how much I love Fall in MI?

Luke pretty much doesn't let Michael out of his sight when he's home so here is proof that they've been stuck like glue (do you guys love that new Sugarland song?).
































































Earning his keep.













And just because I can't leave out such a cute little love bug! :)

Living for the weekends
































































With Michael working nights right now our family mantra has been "just make it to Friday." It is hard on both of us for different reasons but I think it's safe to say I am sooo over this. And, hats off to any single moms out there. This is making me appreciate Michael in a whole new way!

Anyways, we are trying to make the best of our weekends though this past weekend we didn't do much but just enjoyed relaxing as a family of four! Still can't really believe that. :)

Papa lives in DuBai

I wish I had a recording of Luke saying Dubai but just know it is really cute and funny. Nana and Papa came in town for a really quick visit this weekend for Papa to meet miss Langley Grace. We had a great time relaxing and watching LOTS of football with them since it rained pretty much the entire time. It was a great visit and now they are off to celebrate their 30th anniversary up on Lake Placid. Pretty awesome!

first smirk

Langley gave me her first on purpose smirk tonight and I'm pretty sure my heart melted into a puddle. It wasn't a full out smile but it was enough for me. I'm in love!! :)

Hook 'em Horns

Langley's spending her one month birthday rooting on the Horns! :) We've already had multiple outfit changes since this one (we have a spitter on our hands) but I got a picture just in time. Thanks to Paul and Michelle for her first piece of Longhorn paraphernalia.

Moooo cows

As a last little family outing before Michael started night float we decided to go visit a dairy farm on Saturday morning. Those of you that know Luke know that he has had a weird affinity for cows for a really long time. So when we came across the brochure for this farm a while back we just knew it was right up his ally. To say he liked it would be quite an understatement. Langley Grace and I took a spectator/photographer's seat keeping a safe distance from the cows but still enjoyed a fun little family day.




Documenting

Langley Grace's umbilical stump fell off a while back and I wanted to document her first official bath. I think she liked it. Alot more than her older brother did at this stage. Look at how much more hair she has! I still can't get over it.



































We went to the Dr. on Friday for a check up and she has undoubtedly been packing on the pounds! Up 2lbs since birth weighing in at 9 lbs 1 ounce!! Baby girl likes to eat. :) She still looks tiny next to this monster though.
