Welcome Baby Luke Party

When we first arrived in Florida, Luke was all smiles with his Momau and Poppa.  I think he might actually remember them from when he was born.  I know that seems crazy, but they picked up right where they left off.

Reunited, and it feels so good...


Check out that tongue again!


My mom threw Luke a "Welcome" party so he could meet her side of the family.  Family came from all over Florida to meet Luke, and it was such a wonderful day!  Let me just say a big THANK YOU to all of our family who came to meet Luke!

Here are photos of Luke's Welcome Party!

Luke with Aunt Cathy! (She is the one who made Luke's quilts that you have seen!)

Luke with Uncle David!

Luke was exhausted and started to fuss... Uncle David said, "Hey, you're breaking the rules.. you don't fuss when I hold you!"  Well Luke tried to suck it up.  Bless his little heart!

Luke with Dustin! (This is Georgia's daddy!)

Luke with Uncle Jimmy!

Luke with Aunt Janet!

Luke with Susie!

Luke with Jimmy!

Luke with Jason! (This was right after Uncle David told Luke about the no fussing rule!)

Luke with Aunt Eva!  (Luke is doing a muscle man pose, haha!)

Here is Luke hanging out with his Poppa!

And look, there's that tongue again!

My dad took Luke away from all the commotion for a little down time by the pool, while Georgia swam.

It was great to hang out and catch up with family.

Luke wants cake! ;)

Luke really cracked up with Dustin.

At the end of the day, Luke lounged in his Momau's arms.  It was a very busy day for him, but he did great considering how many people he met!



I really cannot tell you how grateful I am that our family made every effort to come meet Luke.  My cousin, Alex couldn't be there because he was helping with a fundraiser for a friend with cancer (so really, I couldn't be mad even if I wanted to be)...and Aunt Karla, Uncle Gene, Susanna and Gillian couldn't make it because of school and work (they live in Virginia).  But I am SO glad everyone else got to meet him.  Thank you all!  Love you guys!
