Luke's 1 month birthday was Friday, March 27th. Daddy was on Spring Break all of last week so we had planned to watch the Riverdale girls play softball on Friday. We were about to walk out the door when daddy checked, one more time, to make sure they were still playing. Due to lots of rain the day before, & threats of more to come, the game had been cancelled. Since momma had already gotten ready (this is a huge accomplishment), we had to go somewhere. We headed to Super Target & even had time to have lunch at Chili's. It is hard to believe our little boy is already a month old!
One day while Grammie was helping Laura and the weather was very nice, Luke was able to go on his first walk around our neighborhood. Jasie loved leading the way showing Luke the way back home.
Hopefully, Mr. Horse will become a friend of Luke's later on!
I guess this picture says it all for Luke!

On Thursday, we took Luke to the Vanderbilt University Children's Hospital to begin the treatment of his feet. He will have to wear casts on his feet for several months. After his foot is corrected, then he will have his achilles' tendon stretched so that his little feet can be bent upwards. His first little casts are pictured below.
As some of you might know, Luke was diagnosed with two club feet in utero. This was confirmed upon his birth. Below is a picture of both of his feet. The doctors have actually said that having both feet clubbed is better than just one. God created Luke in His image and we praise Him for that!
Luke was born on 02/27/09 at 12:23 am. He weighed 5 lbs. 10 ozs. and was 20 inches long.
It sure was a long night for the grandparents!
They couldn't wait to hold him!
Daddy went to the nursery with Luke every time they needed to see him!
This was Saturday. I look much better than the day before :) This was taken in the hospital room by the super nice nursery nurse right before we went home. Luke's first car ride was on Sunday. They let us leave the hospital around 1:00 pm.
This is what our house looked like Sunday morning. Murfreesboro had 4 inches of snow Sat. night. There is still some left on the grass today. Grammie brought Jasie back to our house Sunday morning so she'd be there when we got home. She let all the neighbors know that Luke had been born with this very cute balloon that played the song Baby Face and a super cute baby snowman! Jasie loves to sniff Luke. She is being a great big sister! Daddy has his arms full :)
I'm a stay at home mom that entered my thirties in 2009! I married my wonderful husband, Matt, on June 15, 2002. We welcomed the pitter patter of Jasie's 7 week old puppy feet to our house on July 3, 2003. She was our only baby until Luke ('Sunshine') was born on February 27, 2009. Our newest addition was born on Christmas Day 2010. Abbie ('Lovey') will always be our best Christmas present!
I strive to follow our FAMILY rules: Give thanks, Rejoice in this day the Lord has made, Share, Love the Lord your God with all your heart/soul/and mind, Love one another, May every word be full of grace, and NO whining-EVER!
I'm working on couponing, think french fries are a vegetable, and love Etsy (especially for matching sibling shirts). I'm also a list maker, but don't get to cross things off nearly as much as I'd like to. I have dreams of quilting, scrapbooking, cooking great meals, reading what's on my stocked bookshelves, organizing, learning how to use my camera, journaling,....
I'm thankful that all these things can wait, along with a clean house, because my days are filled with Sunshine and Lovey!
