Becoming a Big Boy!

Little Man has hit some milestones in the recent past! Unfortunately I don't have pictures of all of them...
Luke has started eating baby food. He loves his fruits and orange veggies (carrots, squash, sweet potatoes). But he HATES peas and green beans! I always send those with the babysitter! She has a magically ability to get him to eat those!

*It could be that she has 4 kiddos of her own* 

**By the way, Lori is an angel! I couldn't have made it through the past 3 months without her!**



We also went on our first family of 3 camping trip!
Dan and I had to put our compromising skills to the test with this one. He wanted to backpack into a campsite. I wanted to have the flexibility to leave in the middle of the night (in case of any emergencies) without hiking in the dark...with a baby...and the dogs...and our stuff!
We found some pretty cool drive-up campsites in Pisgah National Forest in Brevard, NC thanks to the recommendation of a friend of Dan's from work!


It was beautiful and perfect!



Little Man slept better than we did!



Isn't he adorable?!?!

Luke has also started squealing in a pterodactyl sort of way! I love it!
He also rolls over...front to back and back to front. My boy is so multi-talented.
And the lastest milestone....

HIS FIRST TOOTH!!!

Thankfully he hasn't been too fussy! :) He is good to his momma!

I'll put pics up of the tooth as soon as I can get that skilled!

Bye-Bye Working World...

I am about 2 weeks away from becoming a stay-at-home momma! I'm excited and scared all within the same moment!


Wow! Who wouldn't want to stare at this face all day?



For reals though...I want to become the best mom, wife, homemaker possible...

Here are a few tangible goals:
1. Have weekly playdates (for me and for Luke)
2. Try out at least one new recipe a week
3. Never go grocery shopping without a coupon (this is going to be hard for me!)
4. SERVE, SERVE, SERVE...I want to use my more flexible schedule to love and serve the people that God has put in my life!

More to come...
