Luke is One Month Old!!

Man, how time flies. Luke is one month old already. I can't believe it. We've been enjoying our time at home, but unfortunately I only have a few more weeks before I have to return to work. Luke is a very easy baby (knock on wood!) and is a pretty good sleeper, especially at night. Most of the time we only get up once with him at night. What a blessing!

We enjoyed Memorial Day weekend in Wheaton. Melissa, Stephanie, Mike, Maggie & Molly came to visit and meet Luke. We had such a great time seeing them. Mike & Justin got to go to the Cubs v. Cardinals game and we visited Brookfield Zoo on Sunday. Too bad the weather was so hot! We were all hot and exhausted by the end of the day. On Monday, we took Luke to his first parade. Wheaton has a very nice Memorial Day parade and we managed to watch the entire parade and get back in the car before the downpour began.

On the carousel. Lauren loved it. Molly, not so much.

We've been on the "Tour of Luke" recently to introduce him to our family and friends. Of course, everyone thinks he's adorable and his big sister loves showing him off! We enjoyed visiting Iowa for a few days as well and Luke got to see Papa and Memaw, as well as meet his Grandpa and Grandma Great, and his Great Aunt Becky and Great Uncle Denny, Aunt Kris and Ericka. We had a great time.
Enjoy some pictures:

We are also very excited for Lauren's 3rd birthday on Sunday! I can't believe that my baby girl is already 3! We love her more every day. Her personality is so funny and she is as sweet as can be (let's hope that remains after she turns 3! I hear three is worse than two!) We're planning a fun Mickey Mouse birthday party at the Splash Park, although if you ask Lauren she says that we're having her birthday at Disney World! She's a big dreamer! :)
