Happy Halloween! Luke is Winnie the Pooh! Surprise anyone? I love Pooh bear!! And Luke is sweeter than honey!

Wedding Cousins & Coworkers Oh my

Well I am behind on my post.. Does this suprprise anyone? Last weekend was one of my co-worker's weddigns in Melbourne, Fl, Stephanie. Congratluations Stephanie & Freddie!! David and I both have friends over there, and David has a cousin over there,who has a 10 month old baby Emily. Emily was very intrigued by her new shor dark and handsome cousin!







Next it was off to the wedding, where Luke knew exactly who to suck up to to! Mommy's boss!







Here are some pictures from just around
Mommy you can take pictures upside imbetween your legs...YOU ROCK!


The Story of Luke, Watson & A bottle

Dancing Queen... young sweet only....

Ok I can't dance, but my son nearly bust a gut watching me, and really isnt that what's important. I know I promised pictures of the wedding, but this was jsut so much better, me make an idiot of myself come on?

What a weekend!!

Luke went to his first wedding (pictures to be posted tomorrow)! And both his Godparents were there at the SAME time (considereing God-Daddy lives in Podunk Florida and God Mommy lives wayyonder in Chicago its a miracle!)
And to top it all offf Mommy ended up in the ER... I had not been feeling well since getting back from Guat, after returning from Guat, 8 hours alter I was on a plane to Wisconsin/ Iowa to do an inventory count for 4 days, then back to Florida. I have been having fevers nauda, and well you can figure the rest out. Monday night I had a 102 and had not kept food down in three days so David dragged me (pretty much literally as I am always fearful of missing work) to the hospital.
ANyways here's some shots of Luke with Travis (David's friend from college Go gators!) and Olivia (Corey's friend since 7th grade (also a gator, but a true Miami Hurricane at heart, go thug U!))

Guess who's who


How high does this thing go?


I think I like this


Aunt Olivia is teaching me to be the latin luver at the JCC


Mommy where'd you go?

No new pics

Daddy has hijacked the camera!!! So no new pics... But I'll post so of the old favs from the past 13 days (can you believe he's been home 13 days!!)
Tomorrow Luke is going to one of my co-workers weddings. I think we were only invited so he will come!!!
Luke learned a new game this morning, if I cry maybe Mommy won't go to work.... Mommy learned she needs to get up earlier! I wasn't late to work, just really hard to leave :( He's so dran cute :)
He is SO active.. He crawls everywhere! Pulls himself up... LOVES TO DANCE!!! And always smiles... The boy loves bath time (gets that from Daddy!)

Hi Ho Hi Ho Its back to work Mommy goes...

Relunctantly Mommy went back to work yesterday... And Luke was not happy! (Which made Mommy happy!). But alas Daddy survived (which made mommy happy to know her Hubby can handle taking her little man to the lab (even though her brough Grandma for reinforcements)) Oh so I guess he does need help!!! Grandma helped Daddy most of the day, Luke has enough energy to tire out two adults and two dogs! He finally crashed at 8:30 last night after some good Mommy and me time, a nice bath some cuddling ;) Daddy and Luke watched Bed Knobs and Broomsticks (a personal fave) as Mommy cooked dinner and cleaned up (poor daddy didnt know what he was getting into being a stay at home lawyer/dad)! But we are surving....
Luke weighs 19.9lbs, only in the 5th percentile for weight 29inches, 10th percentile for height, but what do the american charts know about my little Latin Luver?

Luke at Downtown Disney

A picture says a thousand words

Oh my what is this lady doing to me?

Luke is adjusting great (except for the dogs).I took him to my office today, and well he won a few hearts!! I'm not byist but my son is gorgeous (and a genius, and a FLIRT!!!)
we took Luke to the picture people in the mall, and I really think he has a future career!
Tomorrow it is off to the pediatrician... And some other exciting adventures...

Every Super Hero has a Mom

I would like to dedicate this post to my mother in law, Judy. For the past year and half of this process she has seen what heck we have been through. But she's a real trooper, she has spent the last 9 days in Guatemala, surving on eggwhites and the love for her grandchildren. Without Grandma Gaynes support we would not have been able to complete this adoption.
Thanks Grandma Judy

Hey Grandma I'm gonna make a mess like this in your house some day!



Mommy I hear you... but I don't see you?

My hero

Yesterday my Husband spent about 5 hours at the Embassy. He was not leaving without pink, and he got it. I am still in Wisconsin, but I leave for home in a few hours.
David spent 5 days at the Embassy fighting to get our son home. He has been in Guatemala for 9 days. Usually people dont travel till they have pink, if we hadn't gone down we would still not have pink and Luke would not be home this weekend. So this post is dedicated to my hero, the love of my life David!

Daddy we love you!



Grandma Im going to climb all over you




Luke plays peek a boo

Hey Luke what's your favorite color

PINK!!!!!!!
Yes that's right, my hero, my husband, David Matthew, got PINK for our son. He camped out at the Embassy for 5 days, we received pink today, Friday at 7:45 Luke will at teh Embassy for his appoitment, 11:30 we will pick up his Visa, 10:50 Saturday night HOME!!!!
When I get home to Florida I can sunbathe!

Mommy when I get home can the Hurricanes play better this year?

Mommy Im hiding in your pink sweater

Mommy's back in the USA... Luke's "First" Haircut

Mommy arrived home last night at 11PM, and went staright to bed... I had a 11am flight to Wisconsin for work, I am so tired, two flights, a two hour drive and I am in Prairie du Chien, but I am doing an inventory count in Iowa, which is down the road past the Piggly Wiggly (I swear they exist) cross the Mississippi River. I am definatly a city girl!
But on to more important business, David and our attorney's in country (after no answer from our agency all day, apparenlty you only get calls back when you threaten with bar complaints) were finally able to get all the necessary paperwork filed (we are hoping and praying). So David has to go back to the Embassy again tomorrow to make sure everything is correct (third day in a row, 4th time in 7 days they know his name like Norm from Cheers)
So let's look at Pictures of Luke to cheer us up
"Gosh I'm cute... Just a little off the top"

"How short are you doing my hair?"

"Will I be as handsome as my Daddy?"

"I want a Merecedes not a Porche!"

"Grandma I think Mommy's going to have a heartattack, but I do this all the time!"
