Daddy's Girl

Micali just loves her daddy. She always gets so excited when he comes home from work. She is one tough cookie too. If he is on the floor she jumps on him right away and makes him play with her. We are so HAPPY that he finished school today and we have all summer to enjoy being together!

Spaghetti Mess!!

Luke made spaghetti for dinner on Sunday and Micali thought the sauce looked a lot like fingerpaint. We didn't have bathtime in our plan for the night so we put her in the sink for a quick clean up. The deep sink came in quite handy!

Food Storage in progress......

We went to visit our baby chickens we ordered with some friends. They are being generous to Lucas to help him fulfill his lifelong dream of being a farmer. We split 50 meat chicks and our friends ordered 3 turkeys and 25 egg layers for a grand total of 78. They should be ready for "harvest" on July 14th. We will keep you updated.

Amazing pictures!!

My friend is starting a photography business and has taken some cute pictures of Micali and Eli for her portfolio. Check out this link to see "Little Miss M" and Eternal Toes. http://www.akforgetmenotphotography.com/ She is good, huh?

Like Father Like Son.

Here are some cute pictures of our little man. This outfit came in the mail from one of our good friends. He worked with Luke as the team leader for Clark Pest Control. This is the official Clark uniform. It brings back lots of good memories. We were just married a week when this job started. Luke worked long hours in the hot sun. I worked out, laid in the sun (had a nice tan), and made lunch for all the bug boys on the team.

Does it fit??

 

Micali found this "hat" for Eli and thought it was the perfect size.

Bonding!

 

Micali can not get enough of her little brother lately. She just loves him so much. He is starting to show interest in her and smiling in response to her silliness. This just makes her get even more in his face. Lastnight she really wanted to hold him so with my help she pulled him onto her belly. He just laid on her stomach and laughed. This was hilarious because he is really close to being her same size. Just a little shorter.

So many things to be grateful for....

This week Micali and I both have had the stomach flu. Thankfully it wasn't at the same time though. Micali had hers on Monday and Tuesday then began feeling better on Wednesday which is when I started feeling sick. Daddy and Eli had a couple late nights in a row while Eli decided he wasn't tired or perhaps he wasn't feeling well either. Weeks like this make me so grateful for the health that we are able to enjoy most of the time. I am grateful for friends who go out of their way to be of service by making dinner and taking Micali. I am grateful for a husband who works hard to provide for the family and then also comes home and and does whatever he can to help out.
Here are some pictures taken throughout our week....

Cheerios

 

Micali took business into her own hands lastnight. We kept getting interrupted trying to get dinner finished. We were making fried halibut which she loves she just didn't want to wait. I found her underneath the table cleaning up this mess she made.

 

Happy Birthday!!!

 

Luke's Birthday was on Friday. He invited some of his students over for a game night and birthday cake. He taught them how to play one of his favorites, The Farming Game. From the pictures it apprears that a good time was had by all. He asked one of them before they left to give him an honest opinion of the game. On a scale of 1-300 it got a 187----He said barely passing! We enjoyed having them over and look forward to more game nights!
