Busy Lives on the Court


It has been a busy past few weeks, but it's such a joy to be a mother to these two wonderful boys. Many people have asked me how I'm handling being at home all day with two babies. I'm grateful to a friend for sharing her experience at being a mother of two. She told me that sometimes her oldest just had to wait, sometimes her youngest had to wait, and that the house had waited about six months. How right she was! Sometimes Eli gets into mischief waiting for Mommy to get done with Luke. Sometimes Luke has to cry because Mommy needs to take care of Eli. And, most of the time, the front room looks like a tornado hit by the time Dave gets home from work. Here are some pictures of all the fun!

Eli investigating his little brother. Notice Dave's protective arm shielding Luke from any finger pokes.
Eli waiting at the top of the stairs. He's good at going up, but hasn't quite mastered the down. Right now he likes to approach all downward steps headfirst.

Getting into trouble while Mom feeds Luke. Dismantling Mom's vegetable steamer, and...


...enjoying some cheerios.

Sometimes that baby is just too loud!



Here are a few Baby Luke shots. Isn't he handsome?

Halloween 2009

Our Little Bumblebees

Eli and Luke were bumblebees for trick-or-treating this year. Eli and Dad had fun going to a few houses around the neighborhood and then handing out candy from our front door. Luke was unimpressed, but then so was Eli last year. Dave and I have been snacking on candy for the last week. Someone needs to keep our new dentist in business!
