Happy Easter!

Happy Easter to all our blog readers! We will be spending the weekend with both of our families! Check back next week for some new pics! Also...check out our poll. We are curious about what YOU think about this Easter bunny. :)

Lots of Smiles!

This month seems to be flying by for us! Luke's newest accomplishment is surviving a week of teething. His top two have finally started to pop through. His bottom two teeth came through during his surgery week so we were curious about how it would go this time un-medicated. Below are a bunch of pictures from the past couple of weeks. These are for you Barb! :)

Luke playing with his new hoop.


Go Gusties! We went to watch the GAC women play on Saturday with
Grandma and Grandpa Pedersen.

So sleepy...
I love to smile!

Happy Valentine's Day!!

Luke's First Super Bowl

Luke attended his first Super Bowl party this weekend at our friends Charlie and Joe's house. His favorite girl Olivia was at the party too! Olivia is only 10 days older than Luke. You could say she is on the petite side and he isn't. :) These two have a lot fun when we get together. Olivia is such a sweet baby and is always very interested in touching Luke's ear and head! A good time was had by all...Luke is just hoping next year we let him stay awake for the fourth quarter.

Luke and Olivia
Olivia-"He is pretty cute...why won't he look at me?"

Luke-"Why are all these people looking at us?"
Luke-"Ok, enough pictures! Stop laughing and leave me alone with Olivia! We are trying to watch the game!"

Back to Blogging

It's been too long since our last post! Let's just say that going back to work has changed some things around our house. Last week was my first full week back. My second week back I got strep throat and only worked 3 days. So last week was reality. It actually has been going really well! We are so thankful to have a wonderful in home daycare provider. She lives right by my school so it is perfect. Luke is happy when I leave him and happy when I pick him up after work which makes things so much easier. He is the only full time child there so we are lucky that he gets lots of love and attention each day. He has been sleeping and napping so well and has finally decided that drinking a bottle is ok. Below are some pictures Auntie Jenny and her boyfriend Alex took when they babysat on Sunday while we went to the Gopher Men's Bball game. We hope everyone is keeping warm! I don't know about you but I'm pretty tired of this cold! :)

Gustie Game

Luke attended his second Gustie Women's basketball game this afternoon. We were excited to dress him in his Gustie sweatsuit that Auntie Abby gave him last Christmas! Check out his first pair of Nikes! Go Gusties!

Happy New Year!

Happy 2008 to all our blog readers! Today we went for Luke's doctors appointment with his cardiologist at Children's. His doctor reported that the mitral valve sounded "a little better" and said he wants to see us back in 2 months. Luke will continue to take the blood pressure medicine as his numbers were much better today. We are very happy about this since it seems like everytime we have an appointment something else happens.
I will be going back to work tomorrow which is the biggest change around our house. It is going to be hard but I know that Luke will be in great hands at our daycare and summer is just around the corner right? :)
Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers for our family! We hope your 2008 is great!
