Welcome Home, Meet Your Brother

Like I said, Luke's parents were so prepared they left his diaper bag at home and had to wrap him in a blanket for his first trip in the car.  Parents of the Year!  

 Proud but tired Daddy is ready to load the precious cargo.  

 Hello sunshine heat wave!   We had temps well over 100 this week.  It's probably a good thing we didn't have clothes to put on Luke.  He didn't need them in those temps!  

What a sweet face!!  He slept all the way home.  I kept having to hold his head up so it wouldn't bob forward.  

Welcome home, Luke!!  Brace yourself.  Your big brother has been staying with friends, but he's on his way and excited to meet you.  We've been calling this the "special day" and the "special day" is finally here.  

Samuel was soooo excited.  He kept saying "Awww...he's sooo little."  "He so cute."   He was giddy.

 Notice Daddy on guard ready to thwart any sudden movements towards the infant by the two year old. Love hurts sometimes, ya know.   

 So proud and excited.

Big Brother Gift!

Leading up to Luke's birth, Samuel discovered Thomas the Train and loves playing with the wooden trains when he get the chance.  We were able to get  a table and lots of the trains (thanks to friends, grandparents, and craigslist).  Those little dudes are expensive!  Anyway, we controlled ourselves and waited until the "special day" to give it all to him.  It was a present from Baby Luke to Samuel for being a big brother.  

 He's in train  heaven!!

I've lost count of the hours of play that have happened around this table so far.  

        
Welcome home, Luke.  We love you so much and can't wait to watch you and your brother Samuel grow to be great friends.
