New "little" neighbor!

Good morning! What an exciting weekend it was around our part of the neighborhood! Early Saturday morning I got a call from our neighbors, Greg and Leah, that it was “time” for their baby to enter the world! I quickly headed over to stay at the house while Luke slept. Not long after they left (a couple of hours), I got the call that Amelia Marie had arrived and was not so little…she weighed in at 9 lbs. 4 ozs! And, she was two weeks early…it’s a good thing she was early! Of course, I couldn’t wait until Luke woke up to share the news and get him dressed and fed, so we could head to the hospital so he could meet his new baby sister! How exciting for their family…it was so touching to see Luke walk in and say “mommy” and then “Amelia” as he walked up to them! Of course, being 21 months old, Luke was interested, but after receiving a gift (helicopter) from “Amelia” he interest was diverted! Mom and baby came through it just great and are doing beautifully, both home now and getting adjusted to a slight change in their family life! Naturally, I’m thrilled for them and looking forward to watching Amelia grow, as we’ve watched Luke grow…they are a GREAT family and wonderful neighbors and friends!

Friday, the day before, Amelia arrived, I watched Luke while Greg and Leah went to the doctor. I couldn’t resist taking a couple of photos of him while he played on my newest “toy” – the airplane! He had fun and I did as well.


Whenever Luke is in my studio, he heads right for my “tickler” (which is really a feather duster!) and he had fun with that…and used it to “tickle” my dog, Aussie.
