I need to do a better job of taking pictures because it's the kids who always have the camera, and they are always photographing Luke. Well I want more of the whole family, so it's a goal of mine to work on that. Here's a great couple of shots of Nate and Kayla with the baby. Luke adores all of his siblings, individually, and has the greatest relationship with them. With Kayla it's all fun and sweet and kisses and giggles. Ashley's the other mom of the house - she's so amazing and so capable it blows my mind (she can get him to go to sleep better than me sometimes!). Shaun and Nate are true brothers in every sense of the word. They get him to laugh at true boy things, wrestle with him, and are great babysitters for me when I need to make dinner or be a carpool mom. I am determined to get more pictures of the other kids on this camera...
And a word about my amazing husband... every night he puts Luke to bed. It's his "time" with Luke and it's a little tradition. I'm with Luke all day long, and Luke is in a phase right now where he always wants ME, literally always, and I'm kinda his whole world. As much as I love it, and know to soak it up because it won't last forever, I also just sometimes need to get dinner made or run one of the teenagers somewhere, etc., so it can be tricky. I love Luke's cuddles and kisses, and he is the biggest gift to our family. At night when I need to clean up the kitchen and get the older kids dialed in (homework, chatting time with them, etc.), Matt established this little routine with Luke and after we bathe him and get pj's on him, Matt takes over, reads to him, plays with him, calms him down in his room, and puts him to bed. It's his time with Luke, and gives me some of my own time. I have the greatest husband - I feel humbled and blessed to have him every day of my life.
