My little sunshine is ten months old today! (And, it's Mother's Day!)
Luke woke up at 4:30 this morning. He's NEVER done that. So, we made our way downstairs and packed up some boxes (after I had a cuppa joe, of course.) My theory is that Luke wanted to wake up and spend extra hours on Mother's Day with me. We had breakfast together, cuddled together, and then I started doing a few things around the house. And Luke couldn't hold his eyes open.
I walked in and saw this.
So I seized the moment and snapped a few shots before curling up on the floor and resting my eyes as well.
Once the rest of the family woke up, Luke gave me a beautiful Mother's Day gift. Back story: Friday night at dinner, Carl asked Luke for kisses and Luke didn't oblige. So, I playfully explained "Kisses are for momma!" That made it's way onto a placard with some sweet photos and a sack of hershey kisses attached. Be still my heart. (And now my eyes are leaking again...)
This month sure was a busy one! In fact, while I am post-dating this post, you may have noticed that I am actually two months behind on publishing this. Shame on me! This month, we boxed up all of our belongings and prepared to move to Florida.
My dad came to Turlock to help me pack up and bring me back home with our dogs. (These two are a couple of jokesters, let me tell ya...)
Although it was a busy one, I still treasured every moment.
Oh how I adore those little hands that tug on my dress. If I could freeze a moment...
In this post (http://loveissomethingthatwedo.blogspot.com/2014/04/moving-day-is-fast-approaching.html), I mentioned our friends were throwing us a BBQ as a goodbye dinner. Such sweet friends we have. They had all of our favorites. Yummy!
On Luke's and my last Tuesday at our breastfeeding group, we took a picture with Wendy. Wendy is a wealth of information and one of the most encouraging women you could ever hope to meet.
On our last Wednesday in Turlock, we went out for ice cream with a bunch of our friends. Before everyone had little babies, we would go the local ice cream shop and hang out for a couple of hours every Wednesday after church. This was a nice memory of our previous custom.

Look at their faces in this one....both with the full cheeks!
This one cracks me up!
Melt my heart.
In
Luke's Easter basket, he got a lamb, a rubber football, a bib, a rubber
baseball, a bunny (that was from my grandmother's collection... it is
baby sized), and some candy. Daddy ate the candy though. ;) Oh, and the
lamb is a wind-up one that plays "Jesus Loves Me."
Oh, and on the side, he got kisses from Sugar.

Here's Luke and Brooke on Easter Sunday at church. They're exactly a month apart (she's a month younger).
And here's our whole coordinating family on Easter. Yes, I made them wear light colors.
Luke's tenth month flew by.
Please, time, slow down. I beg you. I want my little baby to stay my little baby forever and ever.
