Luke Turns 1!!

Today we celebrated Luke's first birthday! It was a great day for Sarah and I to enjoy just spending time with him. Sarah started the day by making special pancakes for us to eat for breakfast. I remember Mom making Micky Mouse pancakes when I was younger so that sounded like a good idea (they are also very easy to do!). I went into work a little bit later to to allow a little bit longer for breakfast; I could get used to that. Luke had a friend come over during the morning and they played in his little pool. It looks like he is really going to be a water baby. The only that dampens his spirit is getting cold. Once I returned home from work Sarah had dinner ready and waiting. Luke enjoyed some good comfort food of chicken and mashed potatoes. In celebration of the event Luke partook of a couple firsts for him. He was able to taste and greatly enjoy his first cake and also a couple sips of genuine Coca Cola. Much to our surprise he enjoyed it and wanted more. After his coke and cake we finished out the evening with Luke opening his birthday presents. Trucks, airplanes, and all the good boy toys. Hope you enjoy the pictures.

A little fun around the house






















Easter

It is finally nice to be close to home and go home for holidays
and special occasions. We did in fact go home for Easter and were able to spend a little bit of time with both families. On Saturday we also went to Washington D.C. for the Cherry Blossom Festival with Mark and Lauren Conrad. It was the most people I have ever seen in our nation's capitol! They actually shut some Metro stops down temporarily due to the congestion. Here are some pictures from the occasion. Enjoy!
