These last few weeks of "winter" have simply been glorious, and have us itching for summer and boating season! We've been busy, but have spent as much time as we could outside enjoying these warm, sunny days.

Luke and I hit up Turkey Run park one Tuesday afternoon before carpool. 

I dressed my "ginger baby" in a long sleeve t to avoid sunscreen. While I am excited about summer, I am not looking forward to constant Coppertone applications. :)

Instead of playing games and watching a movie during Caleb's piano lesson, Luke and I ventured out and walked around his teacher's neighborhood. 

He loved running the wide open road. And, it was great...until I had to sprint with him in my arms because dogs started chasing us. Best cardio ever.

These boys LOVE finding packages on the front porch from Marshma!

Lego-Obsessed Luke

Caleb got to celebrate his summer birthday at school, three months early.

When a co-worker had to attend a funeral, and others were out of town, Creed had to work on a Thursday. Grandma was able to keep Luke that afternoon, but for the morning, Luke had to go to work with his Daddy. Even though I laid out jeans and a t-shirt, he insisted on "wooking handsome" in his blazer. I tried to tell him that he didn't need a tie, but he pointed out that Daddy would be wearing a tie so he needed to as well. I think Uncle Luke's old name tag really made the outfit. ;)

Stomp rockets are such a hit with these two.

Caleb worked so hard on memorizing his speech this year (a Longfellow poem) and reciting the lines with expression. He did great at the school competition and was invited to the speech meet in Frankfort again this year. 

He looked especially handsome that day, if I do say so myself!

Sunny and 70s!

Another sunny and warm day...another park

While brushing Luke's teeth...

Luke: wa- wa- water

Me: wa- wa- Whitney

Luke: wa- wa- wet

Me: wa- wa- Wednesday

Luke: wa- wa- wahve (love)

While kissing Luke good night...

Me: I love your cheek (as I kissed it)

I love your nose (as I kissed it)

I love your forehead (as I kissed it)

I love your belly (as I kissed it)

Luke: Don't you love my butt?

Me: Luke Fowler! You are hilarious!

Luke: You kissed this cheek (pointing to face), how about you kiss this cheek (point to his rear)?
