Michigan

Luke and Mommy flew to Michigan on Sunday morning. Here is Luke on the plane. He was a good traveller for the hour and a half flight.
These pictures are going to be all out of order because I am having computer problems.

So, here is Luke getting the spa treatment from cousin Gabi in the bath last night.

The petting farm at Kensington Park.

Luke in St. Louis

Luke and Daddy flew to St. Louis yesterday. Here are some photos from Grandma and Grandpa Siorek's house. I'm sure Luke is thrilled to see his cousin Annie again. He couldn't stop talking about her from the last trip he made in May.

Here is Luke with his cousin John.

August, So Far

Cousin Fran came to visit us! We went to Multnomah Falls.
The iconic picture of the Falls.

Luke was impressed.

Luke wanted to climb the trail to the top of the Falls, but he did not want to hold hands. No railing, steep drop-off, independent Toddler-- means that Mama and Luke stayed at the bottom while Fran and Daddy went to the top.

That's OK. There was still plenty to see.

In the gift shop, we tried to get him to model a coon skin hat.
No go, but he had a sense of humor about it.

The next day, Fran, Daddy and Luke went to the Japanese Gardens in Forest Park.

Earlier in the month, we got a wonderful butcher block kitchen island from Grandma and Grandpa Siorek.

A fun place to sit.

Hanging out before bed.
