Luke turns 2!

Luke started off his 2nd birthday celebration with a swim in the lake.

Then he shared some pretzels with his cousins Elise and Aden.   

He had a really big party with my mom's side of the family during our family reunion. About 35 of us squeezed into our one bedroom cabin for cupcakes my mom and Ana Maria were kind enough to make.

Even though Luke helped blow out the candle, he wasn't interested in eating the cupcake.

His cousin Cate had a great time at the party.

We ended the day with a walk out onto a pier on the lake.  When I put Luke to bed that night I asked him if he had a good birthday.  With his thumb in his mouth he shook his head yes.

Father's Day Excursion

Luke and I took our first road trip alone this weekend. We hadn't been to Houston for a long time so we went to visit my dad for Father's Day. 

My grandfather was a barber in Cuba and my uncle is the family barber. He gave Luke a little trim.

 

After the trim my dad and Terry took us to dinner at a restaurant in the new development called City Center. It was really nice.  It used to be Town and Country mall and it's similar to the Triangle or Domain in Austin. They have an area with a big fountain and live music where you can hang out and kids can run around. 

Luke was very affectionate at the restaurant. I think it's because his dinner consisted of chips and french fries.

Splash Day

Today is splash day at Luke's school.  They get to play in the sprinkler and have fun with some water toys.

Here are a few funny things Luke has been doing lately.  He started saying his own name, "Duke".  He likes to sing and his current songs are the Itsy Bitsy Spider, the Bumblebee song and Three Blind Mice, which Brad thinks sounds like three brown rice.  He likes to play with his bear aunt Ana Maria sent him, and he feeds him waffles and milk.
