November & December

Well we've decided to end 2012 with a bang.  Instead of having a nice calm winter we thought we would sell our home, build a new one, and move in with John's parents.  Why not keep thing interesting?:)  Not only are we lucky enough to be able to stay with family for a few weeks, but Lucas is loving being able to spend lots of time with both grandparents!

Checking out the birds daddy got!

For some reason Lucas loves to crawl into his carseat and play with the buckles.  I can't seem to keep him out of it.  If he sees it across the room he's over there in a split second.  Easy entertainment for mommy!

Loving bath time!

Another thing Luke loves to do is clean out mommy's makeup bag.  Lucky for me I get just enough time to shower and dry my hair:)

Cruising around the house a few more times before we move.

Helping mommy clean out the cupboards.

Well you can't smile in all of the pictures.

Grandma Fellman bought Lucas this huge teddy bear and he just can't get enough of it.  Every morning he crawls over to Teddy to give him a big hug and kiss.

Lucas spent the day with Daddy while mommy went to the NDSU/SDSU football game.  He had a blast watching football and hanging out with uncle Jeff and Grandpa Fellman at Buffalo Wild Wings.   "I'll take another milk please!"

It didn't take long to figure out that instead of reaching for items in the dishwasher you can just crawl right in for easy access.

Hello!

How does this thing work anyway?!!

Yay!!  SOLD!

Playing ball with Grandpa Schmeets.

The new house...we hope to move in January 18th.

Having a blast in Grandma Fellman's sink.

And also cleaning out Grandma Fellman's cupboards.

Checking out the new house.  Luke even got to check out his new room!

Go Vikings!

I feel absolutey blessed for every day I am able to stay home with Lucas.  He seems to grow and change every day and I am so glad that I can see it and share it with John.  Thank you to my wonderful husband for the hard work he does for our family.

Practicing piano...not quite as fun as playing with Grandma Schmeets.

And more cleaning out of the makeup bag...

Winter is here...Grandpa Schmeets do you like my hat?

Lucas loves his time with Daddy.  

Especially because he things he can get away with some things...like standing up in the tub/sink.  Good thing he's so darn cute!

Wishing you all a very blessed Christmas and a Happy New Year.  May you remember the true reason of Christmas and be surrounded with family and friends as you celebrate the birth of Christ.  We hope to see you all soon.

October 2012

October was again...a busy month.  We are preparing to move so most of October was spent packing and figuring out who was going to take us in until our home is ready in January:)

Lucas learned alot of new locomotive skills in October.  He went from army crawling and barely walking behind his dinosauar to crawling like a pro, climbing on things, and walking with dino like nobody's business.  We've noticed he's got a bit of a daredevil side as well.  One day we set him on his bike and in a matter of 10 seconds he had his feet on the seat and was holding onto the handlbars with only one hand.  Oh dear...

This is now what happens when I try to take the monthly soup can picture.

Hanging out with Grandma Fellman in his comfies:)

Here is what our house has looked like for about a month.  We cannot wait to be in our new home.

Bathtime with Daddy

SOOOO  BIG!!!!!

The notorious daredevil pose.  Here his feet are still on the side of the bike, but soon after this was taken the feet moved up to the seat and that is where Dad had to put a stop to the maddness.

Lucas LOVES his puppy Hutch.  He makes for a great pillow, jungle gym and his food is so interesting as well!  We are very fortunate to have such a gentle & loving dog.  We love you Hutch.

Steamroller!  Hutch is just waiting for it to be over.

Lucas also loves to play the piano.  He really seems to like music in general but ever since Grandma Schmeets started playing the piano with him he has been hooked.  It's a sure fire way to break a crabby spell.

Luke has also been quite a big help when it comes to cleaning out drawers.  Maybe by the time we move into our house he will have learned how to organize and dust!

Learning to drink from Grandpa Schmeets's glass.  That water always tastes better than the sippy cup.

I have a feeling that walking is just around the corner.  Luke is constantly doing the triangle pose trying to stand up but can't quite get the hang of it yet and resorts back to crawling.

Halloween!  Did someone say "FIRE!!!!"????

The fireman running from the flammable box?  Hmm...it appears some additional training is in order.

Cousins Brianna (a clown) and Karissa (a cat)

2nd cousin Sarah (a pumpkin)

Firefighters need frequent naps...

Hanging out with cousin Chunk aka the Horse for the Headless Horseman.  We couldn't get a good pictures of his costume but on his back is the Headless Horsman holding a pumpkin in his hand and when Chunk walks it looks like he is riding on his back.  Hillarious!

Having Halloween fun with Aunt Vivian and Uncle Jeff.

We look forward to seeing everyone with the upcoming holidays!  And thank you to both of our parents for taking us in the next few months:)
