My Boys

Luke just days old in his proud pappa's arms.
Go Spartans! Most days it is Go Wolverines!
Luke wants to go for a drive
Luke's first baseball game with mom and dad! Go Tigers! Mom says...Go Sox!
After a long day out Luke finds a place to nap on daddy's shoulder.

Our naked Buddha Boy!
Like father like son so precious!
Ben always wants Luke to wear his Brett Favre Jersey. If not that then MI clothes.

Taking a dip in the pool together.AHHHH how sweet taking naps together.

I love you two more than anything inthe world!!

Father's Day

Happy Father's Day to the best daddy ever!!

I knew Ben would be a wonderful husband but watching him with Luke is one of my favorite things. Luke adores Ben so much he squeals so loud when Ben comes home from work at night and throws his arms in the air for Ben to pick him up. As soon as Ben picks him up Luke grabs on to him and always has the biggest smile on his face. Ben has many fun games he plays with Luke that he enjoys as much as Luke does. When Ben goes to work in the morning Luke cries and waits by the door sobbing. It is so sweet how much he loves his daddy. I am so fortunate and blessed to have Ben and Luke they have forever changed my life in so many wonderful ways. Happy Father's Day Ben we love you so much!

Sick of Baby Food?!

So we were having breakfast this morning and Luke was watching what Ben was drinking with his breakfast and kept whining with his usual baby food. Finally when he was done eating we

let him hold what Ben was drinking. Well, the picture says it all...he just wanted a lil' "Muscle Milk"

Luke goes to work with Dad

"I think my dad likes to talk about me at work,

or misses me, cause this picture is BIGGER than ME!"

"Sign me up...what's a kid got to do to get some Braces around here!"

Then we got to go to the movies and watch Indiana Jones!?

but first............... I got put to work for

"Patient Appreciation Night"

We handed out goody bags!

I though I might even score a date....but Dr Koppikar (seen far left) decided he liked holding huge drinks instead of holding his beautiful daughter Karina!

I could barely keep my eyes open for this picture after the movie! The movie night was really fun. There were lots of people there and the movie was really loud! I decided to sleep right through the 1st hour of noise, then decided to give Indiana Jones a shot. I licked one of dad's popcorn and bite on his straw, even laughed at some silly parts of the movie. Mom decided to take me for a walk few times too. But I didn't cry once from all that "shoot' em up, bang 'em up" stuff. When it was all over, everyone clapped and thanked us for the great night. It was a pretty good time. I think I know why dad gets home late sometimes now..........he's at the movies!

Shannon's Baby Shower

On Sunday I helped throw Shannon a baby shower. It turned out great she received many beautiful things for her baby girl who is due at the end of July. She was glowing the whole time. We are all so excited for her and Landon to start their family.

Happy Birthday Sameet

Dinner at Stingray Sushi.
Ann, Maya, Steff, and Carly out for the 1st time since babies. Luke had his first non relative babysitter. Teri was great she is Maya's nanny for Karina. The babies had a sleepover while the mommy's and daddy's went out to party.
The end of a fun night at Dirty Pretty.
Maya rented a limo so we can have fun and not worry about driving. Look Ben is sitting on Sameet's lap. ha ha Someone had one too many.
I think it is safe to say Sameet had a fun birthday. We all had a great time.

Luke and the Girls

On Saturday Ben watched Brielle, Berlin, and Luke while I went with a bunch of girlfriends to see Sex and the City. Luke had fun with the girls as you can see.
Here is our baby boy at 9 1/2 months. He loves to stand and walk around the ottoman. He is moving all over and loves to get into everything he is not supposed to, like Ruby's dog food.
