Pictures of our house

People have been asking... I now present to you 572 Turtle Pond Court. Ignore the wall colors..they are a bit bold for our taste. Test your imagination...this can and will be a beautiful home once the walls are a blank canvas and we build up our savings again:)

*Lukas bedroom is not shown...he was sleeping when the photo session took place...

Dear Lukas Boy,

You are NINE months old. You have been part of our world for almost a whole year! It is amazing to think you are now as old as you were when you were in my tummy before you were born. You are simply the cutest, sweetest, snugglist (not a word) boy ever. You suck that little thumb and lay your head on my shoulder whenever I hold you. You say Mama and Dada and Baba and Lala. You are now climbing up and standing along with climbing stairs and crawling. You have accomplished so much in one month. Your eyes make me melt. You now eat table food only supplemented with baby food. I think your personal favorite is wheat toast with jelly. Only 20 more days and I get to spend the summer with you, something I have been waiting for all year! We love you little Lukas boy!

Love,

Mommy and Daddy.
