May Recap

Hello again, friends!  Once again I have a lot of catching up to do.  There are lots of pictures to share and stories to tell.  So let's get started with a look back at May.
 

One of my favorite childhood memories is loading up the Little Red Wagon on May Day and hauling it around the neighborhood to deliver May Baskets.  Making the baskets this year with Emma was just as much fun as I remember.  If I had to guess, I think she had fun too. :)
 

We had a few visitors to spend time with Lucas and Emma.

A lot of people have asked how Emma is adjusting to having Luke around.  The answer is simple - she is in love.  Emma showers her Lucas with love and affection every chance she gets.  At times perhaps a little too aggressively, but always with good intentions. :)  She has been awesome with Lucas and helps with diapers, feeding, and entertaining Mr. Luke.

Emma has also taken to a baby doll of her own.  It's a boy doll that Grandma Becky gave to Emma for Christmas to get her used to the concept of a little brother.  She didn't care for it much before Luke came along but now, Emma loves to play Mom with Naomi (yes, Emma named her baby boy doll Naomi).  Including when it comes to nursing...

A couple of firsts in May.  Luke celebrated his first month of life and Emma had her first day of pre-school!  Emma was sad to leave Pam, Leslie, and Christina's room but she was pumped to move upstairs with the big kids and teacher Andrea.

CHEESE!

More to come!  It has been a wonderful summer and I'm looking forward to sharing the highlights.

With love from Minneapolis,
Jason, Melissa, Emma, and Lucas
