Happy Father’s Day!

May 17, 2010 By 3 Comments

I found an awesome deal on Craigslist last week, so we celebrated Father’s Day a little bit early.

Since we built a deck last October/November, we thought it would be nice to have a propane grill. All we had was a teeny charcoal one, which has served us faithfully so far. But, wouldn’t it be fun for Luke to be able to be the “grill-master” at our house?

So, I decided to search Craigslist and see what was in our area. Thankfully, the first time I searched, I found a great deal on a beautiful grill in great condition. (And you all know how I love a good deal!) It’s a Char-Broil Commercial Series 5-burner Quantum LP. That’s a mouthful! (Click here to see one that’s not quite as nice. I think this specific grill that we bought isn’t in production anymore.)

Here are the boys checking out the grills…

And Luke checking out his gift (with the kiddos)…

She’s prettier in the sunshine…

A special shout-out to my beautiful friend Jesse, who went with me to look at the grill, ruthlessly bartered, and drove the grill around GR in her truck. And thanks to her hubby, Jared, who re-attached the door after a little tipping-over fiasco when she was driving. SO SORRY about the trouble, guys!

We were able to enjoy our first grill-out of the season with Jared and Jesse (and our many children) on Friday night, and we look forward to many more such nights with our friends!

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY, Luke! You are the best man I know!

The snow was just right this weekend for snowman-building! So, Luke took the kids outside, and they made their first snowman of the season.

Quick baby update, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LUKE!

April 14, 2009 By 6 Comments

I’m trying to spend most of my time away from the computer this week, partly because our internet usage is out of control. (We almost have no usage left, and it doesn’t roll over until the 23rd!) I was offline most of the day yesterday, and goodness, the productivity I can reach when I’m not staring at my laptop!

So, quickly, I wanted to share…

We had our 35-week OB appointment today, and Luke was able to come with us this time! YAY! My blood pressure was higher than normal, but the doctor didn’t seem concerned about that. Jaden’s heartbeat was also a little higher than usual at 148 bpm. (Not medically high, just higher than what his usually is at our appointments.)

The doctor and I concurred that Jaden’s probably already weighing about 7 pounds, with 5-6 more weeks to grow! We’re going to have another big one! Anyone want to guess his birth weight? Remember – Grace was 9lb 12oz, Caleb was 9lb 13oz, and Ava was 10lb 1oz. I’m guessing Jaden will be 10lb 3oz.

Since Luke wasn’t at the appointment where we found out the gender, the doctor was so nice to do another quick ultrasound for me. So, we got to see his head, and his beating heart, and his breathing motions, and his spine, and his boy parts. He is DEFINITELY a boy! We’re praising God today, because the doctor says he’s a very healthy boy! Thank you, Lord!

And today is Luke’s 28th birthday! Happy birthday, love! You deserve a post all your own, but that will have to come later. I’ll have lots of pictures to share after April 23!
