I had to start out with two pictures of Luke…one before his first official "big boy" haircut and one after. How different does he look??
On October 3rd we welcomed William Harold Fellman into the world. We were so excited and shocked to have another boy (I was convinced it was a girl from day one). Before the doctor could even announce it to us, John looked up at me, smiled, and said, "It's another boy!"
Auntie Vivian meeting her new nephew. Jeff was traveling in Singapore when Will was born or he would be in this picture as well.

Our new family of four
Luke meeting his brother for the first time. He wasn't too impressed until we showed him the bag of presents his baby brother got for him. The truck, tic-tacs and treat cup convinced him that baby brothers are ok.
Proud Grandpa and Grandma Schmeets. Baby William is named after Grandpa Schmeets so it was a pretty special time to officially announce his name.

Sleeping…and sleeping…and sleeping some more…
I'm not sure how the first week would have gone without grandma coming to stay with us. It was such a blessing to the entire family. Luke especially loved his one-on-one time with grandma.
(Look at that multi-tasking ability!)

When Will was born we kept calling him Luke because they looked so similar. Now he has developed into his own look but they sure looked the same in the beginning.
"Calling grandpa and grandma"
We were able to have a mini Fellman get-together after William was born. It was fun to have the cousins together and Luke had a blast playing with everyone and showing them his room.

Uncle Jeff finally came home!
When the cold weather hits, we have to come up with fun things to do inside. Paper towel towers is one of them.
Brotherly bonding time.
We love spending cozy weekends at grandpa and grandma's house at the lake…
…espcially when it involves chocolate ice cream cones!
Halloween time! Bring on the pumpkin painting.

And Luke Skywalker
Luke and Daddy got to go trick-or-treating with some friends and he had a blast. Our new neighborhood is wonderful and is full of young families with children of similar age groups. It was so fun to see all of the little trick-or-treaters. (And luckily Luke has totally forgotten about the bucket of candy he got).

Another thing Luke loves is "washing dishes" for Mommy.

When you don't feel like using a spoon for your yogurt, Woody is a good replacement.
Visiting with Grandpa and Grandma Schmeets
I think it is perfect that Will was named after his grandpa. This picture shows why…both dressing in brown and sound asleep in the middle of the day.
"Hello Grandma? Can you come over…the baby is crying and I need a snack!"
