Mowing the Lawn

Luke really wanted to help Damien mow the lawn.  So he got out his cowboy had (just like daddy) and got out his mower (just like daddy) and went to work in the front yard. 

Easter

 Luke coloring eggs for the first time:

Luke literally dropped the egg into the dye from this height.  It was a miracle he wasn't covered in colors. 

Counting and pointing to his favorites. 

Luke was excited about his Yoda Easter Egg because it matched his Star Wars apron (both of which were given to him by his Zia). 

A few pictures from the Easter egg hunt this year:

Trying to get lots of eggs!

Look at Luke's haul!!

Luke explains that he doesn't have room for any more eggs.

Damien shows Luke the candy surprise in the egg.

Sweet Luke

The whole fam had fun!

They also jumpees and slides for the kids.  Luke got brave and went up the slide a couple times. 

After Easter Service (it was Saturday night, so casual):

The Easter Bunny Came!

Luke's airplane adventure

I had a day off from work and I took Luke over to the Aviation Wing of the Marietta Museum of History.  It has a C-141, S-3B, an F-14 Tomcat among other aircraft in various stages of restoration.  The only plane that was open was the C-141 - a cargo plane - and Luke had fun running up and down the fuselage and pretending to pilot the plane in the cockpit.  The nice docents gave Luke a little plastic C-5 model and a balsa wood glider.  He'll be a Top Gun one day!

Trains

The last time my Dad was here, he told Luke that next time he came to Savannah, they'd go see some trains.  Dad was referring to the Visitors Center where they have a roundhouse and some train cars on display.  Luke has a fantastic memory and was eager about seeing the trains.  Luke even dressed for the occasion.

Looking at the trains

Luke loves music and likes playing the piano at Grammy and Grampa's house.  He knows how to sing do-re-mi-fa-sol-la-ti-do.  Next:  we'll work on where the notes are on the keyboard.  Luke also loves Reuben the Cat.  He kept saying "Hi, Reuben.  How are you?"  Luke always wanted to know where the cat was, but he was still cautious about petting him.

St Patrick's Day in Savannah

Luke and I went to Savannah for St. Patrick's Day this year.  Anna and Josh went very early and saved good seats for the parade.  The parade lasted 3 hours, so there were lots of things to see and hear.  Luke usually doesn't like loud noises, but wasn't bothered until a firetruck put on it's siren and surprised him.  It was a pretty day and we had a good time.

More Photos

It was another pretty day, although a little cool, and Luke was in a great mood. I persuaded Damien to hold another photo session.  Here are some of our favorites:

Luke v2.5

Luke and I had a fun photo shoot on the 10th when he turned two-and-a-half.  Look how he's grown!!  I'm not sure he has enough stuffed animals though.
