Recent events and LOTS of pics

It has been so nice weather-wise for a while now here in NH. We went outside a month or so ago first thing in the morning and Luke pushed Landon around on the 4-wheeler.


Landon thought it was pretty great and he was laughing so hard.

We have been meeting up with Kim, Sebasiten and Genevieve as well as Melissa and George on a weekly basis. Several weeks ago we went to thepark in Windham and the boys played soccer and enjoyed the playground.






We went to Florida last week and spent 6 days with Memere and Grandpa!


Both boys had fun with their grandparents (and vice versa!)








We did some swimming in the pool :) Luke was not a big fan the first day or 2 but by the last day he was splashing around on the stairs














Memere made an ice cream dessert which Luke loved :)





















We went to the beach every day and luke loved the sand. He was not a huge fan of the water but he had a couple trucks and had a blast playing on the beach


He ate a lot of sand
Landon took naps on the beach






we went to siesta key one day in sarasota. the boys wore their matching Ethiopia adoption tshirts :)





Luke loved the sand there and we played in the wet sand for quite a while




the sand at sietsa key is like powdered sugar



landon is ready to head back to memere and grandpas!


Luke and grandpa cuddled up :)

On saturday night we went to a drum circle on the beach.

MMMM dadda! Give me some of that ice cream!

Landon had a great trip and was excited to go home!
Luke was protesting wearing long sleeves when we got home :)
The boys playing together :)
This shows how anal Luke is. He lined up some trucks, then blocks in a row. He added the finishing touch of a pair of socks on top of the blocks on the left side of the row haha

We had the baptism of our GodDaughter Genevieve last Sunday! He she is with her Mommy Kim

After the baptism and the after party, we headed down to Rhode Island! Rebecca had graduated from Rhode Island College (which we watched live via webcam the day before!) on Saturday and her party was Sunday. We got to visit with most of the family and the boys were a BIG hit! I didn't take any pics that night I guess :( We got to our hotel (Thanks John M!) and got settled in. Luke immediately found the safe

The next morning we went back to the house (where everyone was still sleeping) and played in the yard. Once Aunty Rae woke up she came out and played with the boys
Luke played with a tub of water and had a BLAST!
He is an aspiring ladder golf player
