A Day at the Races

Luke and I had fun hanging out at Drew's mountain bike race at Pando on Sunday. The weather was great, and Luke had a blast watching all of the crazy riders. Luke also discovered that grass does not taste as delicious as it looks.

Drew had a good race and finished in the middle of the pack. The celebratory post-race meal at Buffalo Wild Wings was the best part of all. We and a bunch of other broken-down Lions fans cheered the boys on to the end of their 19 game losing streak! The perfect end to an awesome weekend.

Puppy Love

Two neurotic dogs + one adorable baby pie = priceless photography. Ziggy semi-hates Luke, just like he semi-hates anyone who isn't me. He happily pretends that Luke doesn't exist, but if we try to force interaction, hilarity ensues. See attached photo as evidence. All Luke wants to do is yank Ziggy's incredibly yankable whiskers, and all Ziggy wants to do is slink away in horror. On the other hand, Fitz thinks Luke is the tastiest treat since bacon bits and cheese. Whenever Fitz thinks we might not be looking, he sneaks in a snakey lick -- eye balls, lips, chubby cheekies -- Fitz loves them all. Luke, however, does not find this amusing.

Another Post! Now I am super blogger! Yeah right. I'm sure you won't see another post until Christmas. But I digress. Here are more pictures from Luke's summer shennanigans. A few from his baptism pre-party, one of cousin Joey, one of his handsome Daddy at the aquarium in Milwaukee, and one of his best buds, Fitz and Ziggy, kickin' it on the couch.

Wow. I've learned that I am not a very good blogger. Full time job + full time mom, wife, runner, reader, and avid televison and movie watcher = no time to do anything else! Oh well.

Here are some photos from Luke's fun-filled summer. He was baptized, went swimming in Great Aunt Terri's Pool, Lake Michigan, and Lake Huron, learned to eat cereal, fruit and veggies, learned to roll over, and is now sitting up on his own. I also think he will be crawling very soon. Right now all he can do is slink worm-like across the floor, but I'm sure he will be crusing in no time.

Luke's favorite pastimes include watching football and Tiger's baseball with Daddy, bouncing in his excersaucer, smiling at himself in the mirror, eating anything and everying, and watching Fitz and Ziggy run around the living room. His dislikes include bedtime, naptime, poopy diapers, and for some reason, a stuffed dog toy that strongly resembles Fitz. Luke is terrified of it! He loves Fitz but hates the toy -- not sure why!

I making a pact with myself to do a better job keeping up with this blog. We shall see!
