as promised...

as promised, pictures and a few stories of what we did the week before luke was born...

here's what momma and i made on the felt board most recently...


and here's me helping daddy sweep and rake the leaves in the front yard (note that i stayed on the sidewalk and did not go out into the street). daddy works hard to take care of the house and yard, and as i'm getting a little older, i really like to help him out when i can. i'm using the fireplace broom - just my size!


and momma took me to a farm outside of austin to pick strawberries - yum! this was the same place that had the pumpkin patch last fall, if you remember. they have strawberries and blackberries in the early summer, so we couldn't resist. i loved pulling around the red wagon with our boxes...
and i especially loved playing in the dirt, while momma did the picking...


afterwards, we ate strawberry ice cream made right there at the farm - it was so good! i'm not sure what this face is about... then when we went home, we used some of our berries to make our own ice cream too, and it was delicious!! incidentally, we saw lance armstrong cycling on the side of the road on our drive home. totally cool! (sorry there are no pics of him. mom was tempted, but she was driving and decided against it.)

here i am in the car doing something i made up recently, which is a hand gesture for "crooked"... mom and dad have no idea what this is about or where i came up with this, but it's my own little secret and they think it's funny, so i'll just keeping doing it to be cute when i need to be...
and here's what i look like with a yellow shirt on my head...


that's all for this post - just wanted to get those pictures up here so you didn't miss out on any action before luke was born, although clearly we were ready for him to come since we were doing things like making hand gestures for "crooked" and wearing shirts on our head. we needed a little fresh excitement around here... :) more later...
