Happy Birthday Luke!

Our little boy is already 2 today. I can't believe how quickly 2 years has passed. Luke is such a fun boy with lots of life. He has changed so much in the last 5 months that we have been in America. I can only imagine how fun this next year of life will be with Luke. And, he absolutely adores his baby sister Olivia.

Last weekend we had a Curious George themed birthday party for Luke and he had a blast! Right now I need to be taking care of all the little things left to do before we leave tomorrow, so the next time I have a chance I'll post more pictures of Luke's party. But tonight we took Luke to his favorite place, McDonalds's, one last time for a special birthday celebration with his grandparents.

Last days in America

We leave tomorrow to return to our home in Central Asia. The last few weeks have been very full of preparing and saying goodbyes, as well as lots of fun for Luke and Olivia.

Luke got to ride in the front seat of Bobo's truck. (There is no air bag on the passenger side, don't worry. Plus they didn't go far. ) He thought he was hot stuff riding in the front. He loved watching out the window.
Olivia all cozy in the sling.

Luke is always happy when he is outside!
