Luke suddenly got pretty good at hitting a totball from the tee. Call in the scouts!

Busy Labor Day Weekend

September in Oregon this year has been great so far. We got a nice stretch of the hot, sunny weather we were missing in the early part of the summer.

On the Friday of Labor Day weekend Luke was off of pre-school, so we hung out in Lake Oswego for an hour before going to get his haircut in West Linn. The town of Lake Oswego is beautiful and dotted with sculptures. Luke had a great time finding and exploring the sculptures.

Then on Saturday we went to a vintage British race car show at the Portland International Raceway. It was great! Luke loved the races, even though it was super loud and he made us put our hands over his ears.

So many beautiful cars on display.

We spent at least an hour watching slot car races. Huge hit. I was glad Luke did not want to try this year. He would have gotten too frustrated and cried.

Hanging out by the starting line, watching the cars line up for the slalom.

Then on Sunday we went to a birthday party in a park.
Luke's friend Henry from day care was having a pirate party!

Waiting for turns to hit the pinata.

Summer of 2011

Here are some random summer pics I have been too busy to post.

We've gone to Wilson Pool a couple of times this summer.
Here is Luke lounging poolside with some popcorn.

A hot day, hot boy

A sleepy morning. Woke up early and fell asleep again

on the couch with his "best friend" Ro-ro.

Luke built this track all by himself without any help from mom and dad!

Stamps! A just-because present from Grandma Siorek.
