It's A Wonderful Life: 2010

September 1

Daddy's home from two weeks offshore, and the boys are ready for some fun! They are starting to miss him more and more when he is gone. Will is starting to grasp the concept of passing time, and often asks "How many more days"... Luke says "Dada" every time he sees a photo of him on the wall or on my phone, and asks for "Dada" every time he wakes up from sleeping.

The boys enjoy ice cream treats. This is such a good example of how they are similar, and yet so different. They share a love of ice cream, but Will refuses to bite or eat the cone and uses a spoon to get the ice cream out of the inside. Lukey, however, has no problem digging in, and can finish an ice cream, cone and all, even faster than me!

Like Grandpop, Like Grandson? Luke is looking a lot like Pop in this picure... must be the goatee!

Lucas spent some time surveying the rock wall on the playset. Our sweet, baby boy is growing up so fast and all too soon he will be climbing that wall, I'm sure of it. I hope he can just stay little and sweet a wee bit longer.

Now that Houston is HOT, water is a big part of many outings! This was Luke's first time at this fountain. You know what they say, if the shirt fits... I particularly like the picture where little brother is pointing out the rules to big brother. This may be a sign of things to come, as it seems that Lucas is going to be very outspoken!

A few weeks ago, we had caterpillars in our butterfly house that made cocoons, and eventually turned into butterflies. So tonight, Will wrapped himself up in this blanket and was being really still. When I asked him what he was doing, he said he was a cocoon (duh!) and then proceeded to hatch into a butterfly and run around the house flapping his arms. Hey, at least he learned something!

Daddy's home, and it's World Cup Time. Dress code was strictly and joyfully enforced, although taking pictures in 103' sun in polyester suits was not appreciated as much.
