The answer to a lot of our worlds' issues start with us!

my pumpkins

We dressed up a day early since we'll be out of town this weekend. They both had a good time in costume... so much I'm afraid we started a trend with Jacob "dressing up". He loves to hide and pretend he is someone else, so this was the icing ont he cake.

play date

Before Luke's birthday Michael and I said "who are Luke's friends?" We definitely thought of a few, but the only times he gets to play with them is mostly if big brother is playing with the older siblings. So, I'm making it a point to have play dates for Luke (on Tuesdays when Jacob is at school). Here is his sweet friend Macie who is a whole 6 days older!

He's walking!

Luke took his first steps over 6 weeks ago. All he wants to do is hold my finger and walk (he is specific about which of my fingers he holds and about it being with his left hand too) and I decided because it's much safer holding on to me with a 3 year old running around (literally). I think Luke mustered up the courage though to go for it and has been walking (as his main mode of transporation) the last few days. He can walk 20-30 steps at a time on his own and turn around. I guess he decided to master all the skills before he took the plunge officially! Here's he is just wanting to get to mama hence the whining too...

coffee in East Nashville

Okay, I don't drink coffee (is there anyone else whos shares that with me?), but I do love my friends that recently opened Ugly Mugs, a new coffee shop in East Nasvhille, though! And of course they have more to offer than just coffee... I'd love for you to check Ugly Mugs out...
