Standing = Simple

Lukers can stand up.  It is true.  Last Wednesday while Donna and Emil were watching Luke he stood up in his crib for the first time, and they even got a picture.  He looks very proud of himself.

Now that he's broken through into the world of standing, he is a standing fool.  He pulls himself up on all of his toys, he tries to stand up on furniture and even does some sort of pseudo standing up when he's crawling.  He's still working out how to safely get back to sitting once he pulls himself up.  Key word: safely.

Last weekend we had unseasonably warm weather here, especially on Sunday, and we L-O-V-E-D it.  Saturday morning Matt and I took Luke to our first Kindermusik class of the session.  Isolene had taken him last session on Wednesdays, but we wanted to join in on the fun too.  Luke loves music and it was really fun bonding with him during the class. 

The kitchen is 99.5% done (yay!) so we spent most of the day Saturday putting it back together.  Huge shout out to Donna and Emil for coming over and helping all day.  Not only did they watch Luke so Matt and I could work, but they were indispensable in the kitchen.  Everything that was in the basement waiting patiently for its new cabinet homes needed to be washed and put away.  We had a great system where there was washing/dusting duties by Donna, Emil & Matt and then I would have to decide where each item should live.  It is so nice to have our new kitchen up and running now!

Saturday night, while we still had our babysitters, Matt & I joined friends Kathryn & Luis for a fun dinner in Chicago.  


On Sunday Dad, Kristin, Cory & PJ all came for a visit.  (Mom is in N. Carolina visiting with her friend Cal.)  It was in the 80's and sunny all day. It really felt like summer.  Our first taste of having the new kitchen and all the doors open to the patio and a full house of people was fantastic.  We are in love with our new open floorplan.

We went for a hike in Open Lands, enjoyed the sun on our patio and even brought out the red wagon.  We took PJ and Lukers for a ride, it was soooo cute!

Paige's ball rolled onto the pool cover and she was waiting patiently for the wind to blow it to her:)
