well

I haven't been that great at keeping up this week with posts. Or taking very many pictures. We have been super busy and just enjoying time with each other as a family. We have been going swimming a lot at our local indoor pool to pass away the, what seems like, long evenings now that Daylight Saving's Time has taken full effect. Luke LOVES it. And it wears him out too...so he ends up sleeping very well. Which is good for all of us. :)

We have another busy weekend planned full of visiting family and eating lots of yummy Thanksgiving food, so be on the lookout for some pictures very soon.

I will leave you with another quick story:

Every night before bed, as part of Luke's routine (and before naptime too) we say a prayer together. He sits in front of us holding our hands and tilts his adorable little head to the side while squinting his eyes and listens to our prayers. Sometimes he wants to keep going and going on with them...and thanks God for all sorts of things. (well, some we can understand and others...not so much). But lately he has been wanting his "friends" to pray with us. He grabs his overly big Pooh Bear and his Gator and puts them so that we all have to hold hands like in a circle. It really is the cutest thing ever. Fortunately Pooh and Gator haven't had to hold hands because I'm not quite sure how that would work out. :) But it's just so neat to see his little mind working and always thinking. He doesn't want his "friends" left out of prayer time!

I will also leave you with a couple pictures of him doing our Halloween crafts. I know I know...it's a week before Thanksgiving and I am just now posting these, but I have been wanting to show you how he loves to do his crafts. He also painted 3 ghosts that we hung across a piece of yarn in his room which he thought was the absolute coolest thing. I didn't get a picture of it though! bummer. Anyway, enjoy these couple of pictures.
