Preschool So Far...

Luke is loving his Preschool class! His teacher is amazing & he has already learned so much. This year, he will have monthly family projects in which the whole family has to get involed to complete an assignment. This month's family project was this family tree. Each family member was to draw a picture of something they like & color an apple to put on the tree. Here's how our's turned out.

Here's what Luke's school days are like...

A Rough Day for Owen

September 8, 2010 was not exactly the best day of Owen's life so far. We had to take him in for his circumcision with Dr. Morales who is the doctor that delivered him. She did it in her office & overall it went as good as it could have. It was pretty rough for Mommy, but Owen did okay. The good thing is- IT'S DONE!

Relieved that is over!

Luke is always really good at comforting Owen. He is so sweet with him. Owen loves him just as much.

Brady is also good, just doesn't always know his own strength & can be a little rough at times. We are working on that though.

Fun With Grammy & Papa

Over the past week, Luke & Brady have spent extra time with Grammy, Papa, Yaya, & Papi while we were in the hospital. The did lots & lots of swimming with Yaya & Papi, Aunt KayKay took them to Chickfila, and did other cool stuff with them too.

One of the days while with Grammy & Papa, the boys went to the park.

They caught fish!

Posed for cool photos!

Climbed rock walls!

And had good quality time with Grammy & Papa.

Thanks to all of our family who pitched in to help out while we were in the hospital. We wouldn't have been able to do it without you!

Meeting Your Big Brothers!
Luke was very excited about meeting you. Brady was a little more apprehensive, but fell in love with you right away. Brady already had picked a nickname for Owen... "Nowen"

Luke is a pro at holding Owen!

Big Brother B-ball!
Brady liked to point out all of Owen's features. He kept pointing and saying, "eyes", "mouth", "nose", etc... So cute!

Ready to go home.

Luke, Brady, & Aunt KayKay made us these signs for when we drove up. So sweet!

Our sweet friends The Witherspoons put this sign in our yard to welcome Owen.
