Birthday Dinner #1

We met my friend Sarah with her family (Sean & Kaylee) for a birthday dinner complete with Pooh, Tigger, Eeyore & Piglet. Luke loved all the characters especially Tigger. We had lots of fun getting autographs, hugs and pictures. David and Kaylee both celebrated their birthdays with a pirate and a princess cake, respectively.

Mickey's Picture

We took David on a surprise trip to Disney World for his birthday. The first day we visited the Magic Kingdom and the thing he wanted to do most was go see Mickey Mouse! As we waited in line, David drew Mickey a picture which he gave to him.

March 14th

Look what David & Brent did on March 14th (and 15th)!

The weather has been very warm here lately. David said the pool was "super cold" and Brent said it was "chilly." That didn't stop them from jumping in again on Sunday the 15th as well.

3...2...1... Blast Off!

We went to watch the shuttle lift-off from an area just south of Gainesville. A 20-minute drive got us a beautiful view but no sound. We will definitely plan on future shuttle viewing expeditions!

Look who's sitting!

Luke has started sitting up this past week. This photo was taken on January 13th. He is a fun baby with a personality that has earned him the nickname of "Smiley Luke." Brent & David love making him giggle. He gives you a smile almost anytime you make eye contact - unless he is mad at Mommy for making him wait too long for his meals.

David and Luke get along really well. It is definitely a mutual admiration society at this point in time. That will probably change once Luke is mobile and getting into David's toys (Legos!).
