Luke's newborn pictures

When Luke was about 3 weeks old we had his newborn pics done.  They all turned out so great and they really captured how little he was.  Here are a few of our favorites.  You can see all of them on the photographers blog here.

Luke's nursery

Luke's nursery is complete!!   Unlike Charlie's nursery, I didn't go with a theme for Luke's nursery.  I started with the bedding that I loved and worked around that.  I thought the colors were perfect and exactly what I had in mind.  Below are some of my favorite pictures of his room.....hope you enjoy!

 His mobile- I love it! I wanted something different than the normal mobiles and I thought this was perfect!!

Wall art- the four seasons....Justin's idea

 On the changing table- love this bible verse!

As a 2nd grade teacher, I had to display books somewhere.  I fell in love with this bookshelf the moment I saw it.  I can't wait until he can use it- hopefully he will have a love for books like his big brother.  Charlie already loves it!! :)

Happy one month Luke!

Happy one month birthday sweet Luke!

We went in for a weight check this week and Luke is growing great!

Yay Luke!! Way to go!!

We are so thankful our sweet boy is healthy and growing!! We can't wait to see what month 2 brings for Mr. Luke! 

Easter weekend

This was Charlie's 3rd Easter and his 1st Easter egg hunt.  He had not one, but three egg hunts over the weekend.  His first one was at his school on Good Friday with his sweet class.

They started with a dance party in the classroom- Charlie's favorite!!

Then the egg hunt started!! Charlie quickly learned to open each egg and see what was inside.  If he liked what he saw he put it in his basket or ate it.  If not, he left it there.  I think we have a gifted child on our hands! :)

 Yay eggs!

 So glad we were able to be there with Charlie on his first egg hunt!

 We then moved into his classroom and sang Easter songs together.  Charlie found these sunglasses and entertained us with them.  Silly boy!

 They ended the day with a pizza party! Such a fun day for Charlie!

The next day we joined Nana, Papa, Matt, Dawn, Erin, and Miles for Charlie's 2nd egg hunt at the Club. More eggs!!!

During the hunt, Charlie saw the Easter bunny for the first time- notice the look on his face! He was not a fan!!!

Cheese!

After the hunt, Charlie thought it would be cute to put his Easter bucket on his head.  He ran around the greens like this.  Oh my golly! He is a mess!

Peek-a-boo Nana!

Sweet cousins!

On Easter Sunday,  Luke and I stayed home and Charlie and Justin went to church with his family.  With it still being RSV season and Luke being a preemie who hasn't even reached his due date yet, the doctors want us to stay in as much as possible.  Which meant, no church for us.  Charlie enjoyed the morning with his Pops, Gigi and Dada!

That afternoon we headed to Nana and Papa's house for Charlie's 3rd egg hunt of the weekend.

Eggs! Eggs! Eggs! 

 Miles was awesome at picking up his eggs- look how many he has!!

Proud Papa and Luke- next year Luke will be able to join in on the fun!! 

Again, Charlie opened all the eggs and started eating everything that was in them! Oh my golly! 

Charlie entertaining us with his egg hunting skills! 

At one point he looked like this- his mouth full of animal crackers! The next thing I knew he was choking on them.....really choking! Justin had to do the baby heimlich on him.   Never a dull moment with our Charlie! 

 Then the egg hunt ended with his basket on his head....again!

What a fun Easter weekend we had! We are looking forward to teaching the boys the true meaning of Easter in the years to come!!

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
