Fun-filled Day!

What a day! First, Luke was actually awake this morning and played on his activity mat. The weekly email said that at 7 weeks they should be able to "bat" at objects. Well, we gave it a try. He actually did hit at the red bird several times. Now, I must admit that I don't know if that was just the luck of his stretching in the right direction but he did it a lot. Here's a picture for proof.

Next, Luke and I had lunch with our friends Blakely (and her son Ashton) and Meg (and her daughter Audrey). A little background here.... Blakely, Meg and I go to church together and Ashton, Audrey and Luke were born within 5 days of each other. And we were all at the same hospital! Crazy huh? Anyway, we are all on maternity leave together so we have been trying to meet for lunch and ask each other questions once a week. It's been a blast and I look forward to the lunch each week. Here is a pic of the babies.




Ashton is first, then Audrey and the chubby one on the end is Luke - and they thought he had a weight problem! :-) Please notice that Ashton and Audrey both have toys in their car seats. They are both first children. Poor, poor Luke! I had the "bugs" on his car seat but Andrew just about broke all of them.



Lastly, and the really fun part, we went to the pumpkin patch at a local church to pick out pumpkins. Andrew was SO excited. He promised me he would look at the camera and say cheese - WHATEVER! Be happy that I got these pics. He looks at the camera for a split second and by the time the flash finishes, he has looked away. We try our best! But he had SO much fun and that is all that matters.

You have no idea how painful this was but it turned out ok.

You know Andrew, he's just a talking in this picture. I'm sure bossing us around. These aren't our pumpkins but we bought about that many!

Look at my new little pumpkin!

What an eventful day and it was a Friday! Can't wait to see what the weekend holds.... I think we are decorating outside for Halloween and showing Andrew his Superman outfit! Should make for some great pictures!
