Adventures

Jonathan playing at the play table with Luke - such a little buddy!

We bought some cushy chairs for our patio online - which meant we got a HUGE box to play with!  Nathan got to work right away making a fort for Luke.  And we all enjoyed playing in it.  :)

I sat Jonathan on his lion and he stayed for a little bit.  I think he tried to get off, though, and he's not coordinated/strong/talented enough to do that yet.  :)

New AWANA Year

Luke all ready for his first night of Cubbies for this school year.  He's an old pro now!

Check out his picture from last year - he's grown so much!

Big Boys

Jonathan trying out Luke's tractor (under Daddy's watchful eye!).

UPDATE:  And here's a video of Luke doing somersaults in the backyard.  Pretty fun!

One of Luke's first paintings at school - I decided to photograph him with some of his projects so I would have a digital memory of them without having to keep all of them.  :)

Best buddies - laughing and playing together outside.

Jam Session

Jonathan realized it was REALLY fun to play this "real" piano.  Then, Luke ran and got the baby piano to join him in a jam session.  :)  They have a lot of fun playing together on the mornings Luke doesn't go to preschool.

Driving Buddies

A more "recent" picture of Jonathan in his car saucer.

Compare it to the one I took when he was 4 months old - he's getting bigger!

The boys in their cars together - Jonathan is fascinated with Luke being able to drive around the patio.  :)

Sweetie

Irresistible.  Cuteness.  Sweetie Pie.

30

To wrap up coverage of my birthday (which I started *ahem* three weeks ago), here's the lovely cake my mother-in-law made for me.  Yup - I turned 30 this year!  Seemed a fitting way to enter a new decade with my oldest child heading off to school.  :)

Thanks for the gifts, everyone!

Jonathan was ready to help us finish the cake and ice cream!
