Hero Worship

I think it is safe to say that Luke is suffering from a case of Hero Worship. He is ALWAYS watching his big brother no matter what else is going on. I love it!

The Best Thing About The Rain Is...

Getting to see Matthew in this get-up!!! Too funny:) Makes today's weather a little more tolerable!!!

It wouldn't be right to live in New England and not post some pictures of us raking leaves...and by us, I mean mostly Jeff...maybe Matthew but certainly not me

When it comes to raking, I agree with Luke!!

I'm back!!

So I've been having some serious issues with my computer...it hasn't let me log into my Blog account for almost a month now. I think I may have resolved this, we'll see!! If there are no posts again for awhile, you'll know it's not REALLY fixed!!!

I think the only big thing that's happened is since my last post was Halloween. Here are some pics starting with Matthew's school party. Matthew desperately wanted to be a tow truck driver despite my attempts to sway him in a different direction! Luke wasn't much into Halloween...maybe next year:)

Luke is growing fast! He had his 4 month check-up on Monday...he weighs in at 16.1 pounds (60th percentile) and measures 26 inches (75th percentile). Luke was a trooper when it came time for his shots. I found it interesting that even the nurse could see how nervous Matthew was though...a good sign, I'd say, that he was so concerned for his little brother!

It's getting easier and easier to make Luke laugh and is the best sound in the world! He's a great baby and loves his big brother so much. They make so many toys to encourage babies to enjoy tummy time...with Luke all we have to do is point him toward Matthew, that's all he needs to be persuaded to keep his head up! So hopefully all computer issues are resolved and the blog will be updated again soon!

Some Things...

FINALLY resolved my USB issues!! Here are some of the pictures that have been living in my camera...

Some things Matthew has been doing;

Apple Picking with the Playgroup

What do you think they're talking about??

Apple Picking with Matthew's School;

Doing the Coppel House Corn Maze with Matthew's School;

Some things Luke has been doing...

He's LOVING the bath...seems to be our water baby (we all know Matthew's not!).

Made a successful transition to the crib.

Holding his head up well enough to face out in the front pack!

Some More Apple Picking at Applecrest Pics...

These next 3 are the epitome of "Like Father, Like Son"...

Most likely the last Wells picture from this year:(

Apple Picking

I've been a bad blogger lately...part of the problem is that the usb cord to my camera is broken so I can't download any pictures. I ordered a new one but can't seem to get it to work either:( So no pictures for a bit until I can get things figured out. Too bad because I have some great shots living in my camera of Matthew apple picking with his school and playgroup as well as some of Luke sleeping in his crib (we finally gave up the search for the bolts and just bought some new ones). Oh well...guess it's time to head to the photo kiosk and do things the "old fashion" way:)

We went apple picking this weekend with my brother Ryan and his wife Jenn. We had a great time...the highlight for Matthew was the tractor ride and donut treat. The highlight for Luke was, hmmm, well...maybe the gigantic pumpkins? Hard to say since he slept through everything else (as usual)! Here are some pictures courtesy of Jenn...

The highlight for me was when Matthew put an apple in front of each eye and yelled "apple eyes"!!! Too funny:)

Already?

As you can see Luke has already outgrown the bassinet! I can't believe how big he is getting...it makes me a little sad that our baby is growing up so fast:( But, I love that he is smiling and interacting with us so much. Soon he'll be laughing (he's so close) and I can't wait for that!

Now if only we could find those crib bolts....
