Thanksgiving Weekend

We had a busy, but great Thanksgiving weekend. Thursday we spent the day at Grandma and Grandpa Thomas' house. Friday we spent the day at Grandma and Grandpa Pedersen's house. We ate way too much, as usual, but had so much fun. We have so much to be thankful for this year. We have the BEST families that love us and help us in so many ways. We have great friends, many who have been friends since childhood. Most of all...we are thankful for this little guy.

Getting ready to head outside and play in the snow for the first time.

Not so sure about the snow...

This face tells it all. Winter sucks doesn't it Luke?

Fun Night at Home In Front of the Camera

Brushing our teeth is one of our favorite things. Uncle Gary will be so proud!

Who's there?

Beep Beep!

We love basketball

We had some chocolate pudding!

Halloween and Heart Clinic Update!

Here are a couple of pictures of our cute little penguin. Luke had a very busy Halloween. We made the rounds to visit Grandma and Grandpa Pedersen, Great Grandma Shirley, Grandma and Grandpa Thomas and the annual Okey Halloween party. Luke was a trooper and a big hit with his costume at all of our stops.

We also thought we should share some good news from our most recent Heart Clinic appointment with Dr. Baker over MEA. They did an echocardiogram as usual and found that Luke's mitral valve leakage has improved a little bit. It is still quite mild. The narrowing of that valve has stayed the same. Dr. Baker was happy with this news and decided to take Luke off of the blood pressure medicine he has been on since his surgery last December! Giving him that medicine 3 times a day has become such a party of our routine. It felt strange the first couple of days...but we are not complaining! Thanks for checking in with us and our little boy.

Election Day 2008

While Luke won't be able to vote for about 16 and a half more years, we now know where his loyalties lie (with a little help from Daddy!).
