Vacation Begins

Luke's 4th time on a plane he was a great passenger.
Grandpa Stevie playing the drums with Luke
Luke was a good boy and had fun with everyone we visited.
You can't help but want to kiss those cheeks I kiss them all day long.

Grandma Susan and Great Grandma Helen(93) took great care of Luke too.

Fun with Grandpa

Auntie Bean read me a book
Grandpa showed me how to turn the page
Go Sox! It didn't help that my dad wore 2 Sox hats when the Cubs of all teams were kicking our butt.
Grandpa reading a book to Luke before bed time

Visit with Rachael and the girls

Luke loved the swing

Sarah was not feeling well but still had fun
We had a great time it was so nice to see Rachael. I miss her so much now that we live so far away.

Luke loved eating Emma's Barbie too.

Milwaukee County Zoo

My girlfriends Lisa, Kelly, & Rachael all came with the kids to the zoo for the day we all had a great time. It was fun to see the kids together. Luke was the baby of the group but Jaiden seen in the picture above next to Luke only a year older loved Luke and he obviously loved her too.

On the choo choo train. He was all about it!
In front of the flamingos the girls all lifted a leg in their honor.

Splish Splash

I took Luke over to our old neighbors and friends Liz and Dan's. Luke loved peeing in their pool ha ha no he had a great time so much fun kicking and splashing around.

Not feeling well

Luke was having so much fun and then he got a fever from teething he was super fussy and not sleeping well, We all took our turns with him to make him feel better thank God it only lasted a two days.
Grandma and Luke you can see it in his face how much pain he was in.
No smiles for Luke
Wait maybe for Uncle Sam

YEE Haw!

My mom loves western stuff and country music so she wanted to take a theme picture with all of us since we were all together in the same place. She bought us all white shirts and cowboy hats and even had scenery for the back drop. We had a fun time with it as you can see.

Fun times in Chicago

Ben and his brothers watched Luke while I went to dinner with my family. Luke was cutting his front tooth and had a fever and was a drooling mess. They all loved being with Luke.
