Orange is the new Pink!

Today was meet the teacher day for Katie, and PK4 is going to be a great year. She will be an orange friend this year with Mrs. Stephanie Sems. Although we met Stephanie earlier this summer, she and Katie really hit it off today. The room was all set up for the kids, Katie found where her back pack will go, where she will sign in each day and her cubby for her projects and papers. She and Jack jumped right up and colored a picture and Jack loved the "little" potty attached to the class room. Luke slept through the entire event despite being admired by all.

School starts next Tuesday and we can't wait, now to go and start collecting orange things!

Ahhh San Diego

We have been home for several weeks from our trip, I just have not found the time to write about. I realized I better do it fast as the Houston heat is making my memory the beautiful California weather melt..

We had a wonderful four days exploring all the different neighborhoods of San Diego. We had a nice lunch and view of the seals in La Jolla. We enjoyed the ferry ride across San Diego bay to Coronado Island and strolled across the island for the view of the Pacific from the decks of the Coronado Hotel. We drove north for dinner one night and enjoyed a delicious dinner while watching the sun set. We had a full day in Balboa Park wandering in and out of museums & gardens before finding a great spot for lunch and spent our last morning in Old Town soaking up some sun and shopping for those last minute souvenirs for the kids!

The best part of the entire trip though was the two on one time we spent with Luke. As the third baby he does not demand as much attention as the big kids at home, so being away with just him allowed us to dote on him like every baby should be. He was a great traveller and thoroughly enjoyed the lovely weather and being able to spend some time in the fresh air for the first time in his little life!

Luke is two months old!

I think the standard comment here is wow how time flies, but I can honestly say it does not feel that way to me. I do remember thinking the same thing with Jack at this age, so I can't say it is because he is baby no. 3. I feel like Luke has been apart of our family always. He has found his spot in our life and fits perfectly.

He is a dream baby, feeds well, sleeps well and is giving great smiles on demand. As with any newborn he has a fussy time, but this varies in time through the day which makes it more bareable since you dont know when it will happen you cant get anxious over it.

He had a great check up today weighing in at 13lbs 1oz and was 231/4 inches long. This puts him above average size, but not off the charts.

We are off to San Diego in two days with Luke and are both really looking forward to having some Luke time and giving him our undivided attention, these opportunities will be few and far between in the future.
