Luke's first trip to the beach

We were blessed to be able to go to the beach this week. A lot of fun but also a way different trip to the beach than we have ever experienced since we now have Luke! He wasn't a big fan of the ocean, so maybe next time. At least the pool was a hit.




He loved being thrown up in the air in the pool.

Looks like he's saying, "when will you stop taking pictures??"

First time on the beach
Laughing here...but later much crying came!
Jumping for joy with his cousin Sam
Awww...sweet hugs. Sam became Luke's hero this week.


Recent happenings

Mother's Day...I'm so blessed with Luke and our new little one.
My sister Julie and I are due a week apart...wonder who will be first? She's having a baby girl and we are waiting to see who our little one is.
I got a great new camera so one day I played outside with Luke trying to learn how to use it. I hope I can get better at photography with this camera.

Baby Renner

It still seems strange that in 8 weeks or so we will have another little blessing in our family. This pregnancy has gone by so fast so far, but with Luke the last month just seemed to last forever, so we'll see! I'm doing really well except that I'm having trouble sleeping. The doctor said that the baby looks great so we are really thankful. All along I have thought Luke would do ok with a new baby because he never seems to care if I'm holding another baby - but today was upset with both Forrest and me for holding another baby girl. So we'll just have to see what he thinks when we bring this little brother or sister home for him!
My doctor gives all of his patients 1 free 3-D ultrasound so yesterday we were really able to see our little one. Now Forrest and I just have to finalize the names !!

Fun at the Knoxville Zoo

After the petting zoo...Luke is currently obsessed with washing his hands
Milking a play cow (water came out)....one of the highlights for Luke

Not so sure he wanted that camel touching him!

Another highlight...driving the car
