Watch Luke go...

Fall Firsts

Luke is really having a great time experiencing his first Fall season. (On the other hand, Tom is not enjoying the fall football season quite as much...Michigan is having a terrible year.) The end of October kept us busy: Tom's birthday dinner, a church retreat at Cannon Beach with almost summer-like weather, and a costume party for two of Luke's friends from mommy group (see all the kids dressed up below). Luke had an excellent first Halloween, too - we took him trick-or-treating in the UP dorms. Luke was a bit confused by all the strange-looking people in costumes, but he sure lit up when he met the female students (especially blondes). Our little guy got a taste of a tootsie roll, too.

November has been a little more relaxed for us. We had our friends Kristin and Steve over for dinner a week ago and spent some time playing the wii. This past week, all of us got hit with bad colds. It took Luke several days to break his fever, but he is finally getting back to his normal self.
