Summer Fun

The weather has finally felt more summer-like the past few days. Luke sure enjoys stroller walks, so we spend lots of time outside. During the month of June, we have enjoyed a Beavers baseball game, Jamie and Ryan's wedding, and celebrating the June birthdays.

Tom celebrated his first father's day, too! Luke surprised him with a book of pictures he chose with mommy. We had a relaxing day at church, out to lunch, and watching an exciting US Open (golf). I know that most people think golf is dull to watch and to play (and I, of course, have a very different opinion), but the US Open was great theater.

I am looking forward to my birthday next week. Tom is taking the day off work, so we can spend the entire day together as a family. My aunt and uncle are generously giving their time to watch Luke in the evening, so Tom and I get to have dinner alone.

Update about Luke:
Little man is 5.5 months old now and "grows up" a little each day. Most people ask about his recent skills. No, he is not hitting golf balls yet. He can roll from his tummy to his back (started this at 4 months) and can sit unsupported for about 30 seconds. He loves gravity, too - watching water poured on him in the bath, watching toys fall to the floor, and daddy throwing him in the air. Enjoy some recent photos of Luke:
