Luke-2 yr check up

Here are Luke's most recent stats from his 2 yr check up this summer and a few of his favorite things right now :) Our "little" guy is getting so BIG!!!

Height: 36 in 86%
Weight: 31 lbs 8.8 oz 86%

Favorites:
-Riding around on his fire truck, his tractor and his little trike!

-Hats! He even likes to wear them backwards ;)

-Dancing! Especially when there's music!    

-Big trucks, school buses, and tractors! When Emmy rides the bus to school Luke will say, "bus comin' me, my turn!" So cute! And he loves being on the farm with Papa and getting to sit on his lap while they drive the tractors, combine and gator! 🚜

-And of course, his big Sis! It is absolutely precious to watch those two together, and has been from the very beginning :)

All Emmy wants for Christmas is....

Her Two Front Teeth!!! :)
Since Emmy lost her first tooth back in April , she has lost 3 more over the summer, including her 2 top front teeth! Just last night she pulled out her last front tooth all by herself, brave girl! She has now pulled three on her own and one with Gramps' help. I can't wait to see what her school pictures look like this year. Still such a big, beautiful smile, even without all of her teeth!

Lookin' Good Emmy Jane!! 

And so the adventure begins...

Last Thursday was Emmy's first day of Kindergarten! And today was Emmy's first day riding the bus! Whew! I'm not sure my heart can take much more this week! :) So far she has loved it and was/still is, so excited for school. She literally skipped into her class on the first day and right up those bus stairs this morning. Sigh...my goodness our girl is getting so big. The night before school started Josh went out and picked up Emmy a few "treasures" to make the day extra special. So when she woke up in the morning there was a vase of flowers, and a card from us that read, "And so the Adventure Begins" Sniff, sniff...way to go Daddy!

Emmy Jane, we are so proud of you as this new adventure of your does begin, and we are so excited to see where it takes you. We love you sweet girl!

Summertime Fun

I cannot believe how fast the summer went!!! We had so many opportunities for fun, sun, family, and even a little baseball :) Here are a few of our favorite memories from this summer: VBS at Trinity, Pittman family reunion in Brown County, weekends at the Lake, Day trip to Columbus w/ Grammy & Gramps, numerous trips to the Children's Museum and Zoo, weekend at the farm with Papa & Grandma, and even the kids' first Cubs game at Wrigley!
