Luke's shirt

Yes, it's true. Luke will hopefully be the greatest big brother in 2011. We're expecting a baby in January, so this blog (babyvandegrift) is appropriately named once again. So far, the pregnancy has gone well (no sickness, but some tiredness for me) and the baby seems healthy so far (more ultrasounds this week).

Here are a few more photos of some of my summer fun with Luke:

I know, I know...it's been a while since I posted anything on Luke's blog. I guess life has kept us busy since January. Teaching and preparing my tenure portfolio kept me busy in the spring and into June. We had a very wet June in Oregon this year, so it feels like summer has just started. Our family just returned from a week of vacation at Eagle Crest where Tom, mom, and I golfed a few times and Luke enjoyed the spray park and kiddie pool. Here are a few recent photos:
