So I'm a little behind on the bloggie blog. I feel like I nailed it during Emma's baby-hood but poor Lucas is going to feel like he got the short end of the stick when it comes to photo evidence of his infancy. I'm sure he's not the only, nor will he be the last, second child to have these feelings.
Anyway, there is a lot to share since I haven't posted anything dating past Emma's birthday in June. So here is a recap of what the rest of the summer looked like for us.
It's fun to look back at these pictures considering Lucas turned 1 year earlier this week. Here he is pleased as punch to be 2 month old.
I'm not sure if we have spent the 4th of July anywhere but at Okoboji. And frankly, why would we? Not being on or near a lake during the 4th seems un-American.
More pictures of Lucas, age range 3-4 months.
This picture cracks me up every time I see it. Backround: Emma wants to do everything Mom is doing and always wants to help us with Lucas. Whether its changing his diaper, pushing the stroller, or in this case wanting to help breastfeed. Not pictured here is Melissa sitting next to Emma breast feeding Lucas. Emma thought her doll Naomi looked a little thirsty.
Here are some various cute pics of the kids with no particular story attached.
Emma really became quite a fish throughout the summer and LOVED to spend time at the pool. She went from staying latched on to you at the beginning of the summer to jumping in and splashing around on her own with a life vest on.
Another one of my favorite pictures from the summer. I was giving Emma a bath and had set Lucas in his bouncer to occupy him. A while later I noticed Luke was being very quiet and I looked over and he was fast asleep. It must have been a big day.
Emma sandwich!
Toward the end of the summer we took our annual apple orchard trip with the Birkenholz's. Emma and Kya are peas in a pod! Here are the pics of our beautiful fall day at the orchard.
Most of you know that Melissa opened her own firm in February. She decided to take a new tactic with marketing and got ahold of a couple of super models. With these faces, how could business not be good?
Did I mention that Emma loves her little brother?
The End.
With love from Minneapolis,
Jason, Melissa, Emma, Lucas
