He's got SKILLZ!

Sweet baby Luke is growing up!!! He'll be 11 months old in two days! How, oh HOW can that be???? Breakin' my heart that boy is...wow, Yoda that sounded like! Guess you can tell we've been a bit taken with Star Wars lately, huh? Jack and Samantha are totally ga-ga for Star Wars. It's pretty fun most of the time, but there are times when I have to say to Jack, "I don't want to hear General Grievous' name for the next 20 minutes. Find something else to do!"

It's been a great summer! Here are some pics of things that we've gotten to do:

Summer Vacation with the Wilsons in Branson:

Several evenings we sang church songs. This night (Friday, I believe) Samantha very specifically sat next to her PawPaw.

Two nights Jack just pooped out in the middle of the family room in the middle of family time. Michael treasured this moment with our ever growing boy, as times like this are so far a part.

Tea parties with Nonny

This very nice man, who was actually playing the game, allowed Jack to stand beside him and jump, and "shoot" and flail himself about. Jack had NO clue (or at least he didn't care one little bit) that he wasn't actually contributing to the game. All he cared about was shooting that gun! Such a boy!

Being the early riser, Luke got some special one-on-one time with his Great down by the lake.

Butterfly Museum at Houston Museum of Natural Science

We went to the butterfly museum to see Lois the corpse flower. For those of you that don't know (and I didn't before all the hoopla began), the corpse flower blooms VERY rarely and when it does it smells like a rotting mammal. Pleasant, huh!? Well, I knew my kids would NEVER tolerate the smell so we went after she bloomed and the stench died away...pun intended. :) More info on this cool plant can be found here, if you're interested.

Jack wasn't really a fan of the butterfly museum. Poor guy!

But as soon as we hit the door, he was all smiles again!

We also hit the Children's Museum one Saturday

I think this picture says it all about the fun we had at the museum:

And FINALLY, Luke and I made this video last night, showing off his newest skillz!


Well, thanks for putting up with my summer recap! Hope you enjoyed the catchin' up!

Holy photo dump, Batman!!! That was a lot of pictures! I enjoyed all of them, especially the ones with the kids and their great grandparents. The picture of Samantha & Jack next to each other at the museum is another great one.
