A little late...

The past two days (now it's been a while...), I've spent my evenings with Luke and Alana.  More so Luke than Alana.  Yesterday I spent the most time with awake Alana than I ever have.  It was so much fun!  All three of us played, laughed, and had a fun night!  Alana, being the observant baby she is stopped smiling the minute she saw my phone, so there were no smiling photos of her.  Luke on the other hand loves when I get my phone out, he prefers videos to photos.  He loves to watch them back, they are super fun to him! I just can't get the video to upload to my blog...bummer.   I love it, both babies were so happy!  
Alana, checking out my phone.  She was smiling just before--even letting little giggles out!

Weekend Bliss {also could be a photo shrine of Luke}

Kyle and I had a great weekend!  On Saturday we met our friends Jon and Rebecca at the city market for a fun morning.  Kyle and I brought Luke with us, and I think he had a blast too!  He had breakfast in the car on the way down there.  He road around the market in his stroller and he and Kyle also went exploring.  Luke led the way, Kyle let him out of the stroller and followed him all over.  On their way back to finding the rest of us, they found a super entertaining magician.  He pulled a bowling ball out of his floppy hat!  Like always we bought lots of wonderful, yummy produce, and this time I found homemade hummus and all natural organic, locally made whole wheat pita bread! Yum!  Luke also played in a super big puddle and dumped the left over water he had in it to make it bigger.  He was screaming his excited scream and hopping around the puddle!  So cute!  It also happened to be the 6 month marker for Kyle and I being married.  It was a really fun way to spend our day.  Here are the photos from our little trip to the market!
Little Lukester doing his best to share his milk with Kyle
Kyle giving it back ( don't worry, we were waiting for our friends to come, Kyle wasn't driving still)
He's not mad here, just laughing at funny cousin Kyle.
Making silly faces with Kyle
There's the Luke smirk!
The delicious bottle of water and AWESOME straw Luke got.   The straw may have been his favorite part of the day!

The yummy hummus and pita bread.  He couldn't get enough of it.  Great snack!

I don't know how to rotate this photo but more pita goodness.

Oh the beloved straw.  He was also stomping around  in a super fun puddle.  

Looking at all the booths there.


Love this photo.
My flowers from the market!
 After our trip to the market, we took Luke home.  He was a little disappointed.  After dropping him off, the schillings came over to hang out and have lunch!  We had calzones! also yummy!  Saturday night we ended up at Buffalo Wild Wings, it was UFC night.  The Schillings met up with us too.  It was freezing in there!  We watched all the fights and ate until I thought I was going to die.  I also had the new strawberry lime bite mojito.  It was delicious!  Saturday was a very fun day!

Sunday, we went to church.  There was a missionary speaker there who lived in Honduras.  After church we went out to lunch with the Schillings and other people from church.  We met this guy named Joe, I think.  He was so particular.  He vacuumed his carpets perfectly so the lines were symmetric.  No one was allowed to wear shoes or bare feet in him home.  The foot oils are too much for him.  He made everyone wear socks, and there were some rooms no one was allowed in.  He only went in them to clean them.  He was crazy.  I don't know.  Just an interesting guy.  Had his own supply of hospital shoe covers for people too. Whoa.  Extreme.  Anyways we had fun at lunch.  The photo below was the BBQ place we were supposed to go to but they were closed.  This place is attached to a gas station, but supposedly world famous.  Crazy Kansas/ Missourians.  I was willing to try it, but I am not a huge fan of going to eat at the gas station....Cheers until next time!
