Farm with Kirk

We had just been to Lucky Ladd Farms with my mom and sister, but I really wanted to take the kids back with Kirk. So, last weekend we made the drive down to the farm. We had a great time. Jake loves Kirk so much and he had a great time hanging out with him and playing. This trip, Jake pretty just wanted to play in the corn pit. When we would try to get him out and play with something else, he would just run back to the corn. He also liked going down the slide with Kirk. Here are some pictures from our day.


Luke and I watching Jake play in the corn.


He had corn everywhere! Even behind his ears.


So much fun to ride with Dad!


Kirk is such a great dad and you can tell by how much Jake loves him!


Haha... Jake wasn't too sure about this.

Petting the animals. Jake fed a pig and it kind of scared him, and so he didn't want to feed any more animals after that.

So I was starting to think the boys didn't look very much alike, but after looking at these pictures, I think they do really look alike.

7 weeks




It is hard to believe it has been 7 weeks since I had Luke! The weeks are just flying by. These boys are definitely keeping me busy, but I wouldn't have it any other way. I had forgotten how much I love having a little one. There is nothing better than the sweet snuggles from a little baby. I am just trying to savor every moment that Luke is this little, because I know how fast it goes by.

Luke is doing great. He is really starting to "wake up" and look around. He is also looking at us and smiling. He is such an amazing sleeper. He usually sleeps from 8pm-3am, he eats and goes back to sleep until about 7. It is so nice to only be getting up once during the night.
We have been trying to enjoy this last bit of warmth by being outside as much as possible. We take Jacob to the park almost every day and Luke just rides along in the Baby Bjorn. Luke usually has a fussy period from about 6-8 in the evenings. I'm not sure why, but other moms seem to think it is pretty common. We go to the Dr. next week for a check up and some shots. I don't think Luke is as big as Jake, but we will see!

Surprise!


I knew my mom was coming for a visit, but had no idea that Stacey and Connor were going to be coming as well. It was such an awesome surprise! It was so good to spend time with them and meet my precious nephew. Here are a few pictures from their visit.

Luke with Connor. They were born only 11 days apart. They will have so much fun growing up together.

We took the kids to Lucky Ladd Farms. Jake had so much fun!

They had a huge slide I took him down. He would have gone down the slide all day if I would have taken him.
