Happy Father's Day!

We have the Best DAD in the World!


My boys are sure lucky to have such a great dad.  They are so excited when he comes home to play with them.  He is so loving and works so hard for us.  Thanks Aaron for all you do!  Also thanks to my Dad who was my # 1 Fan and to Aaron's Dad thanks for raising such a wonderful man.  Also thanks to all the other men in our lives for all you've done for us.  We love you!

Updates!

Wow...it seems like I just posted but I guess it has been awhile.  Anyways we've had a fairly busy month. Marcus and Aaron were gone for Memorial day to Longmont to hang out with all the family there.  Marcus has a blast with all of his cousins.  He then stayed with Grandpa & Grandma P in Sterling the next week.  And Aaron picked him up the next weekend again in Longmont  and spent the weekend with all the cousins. I then went to  A-town to my 10 year reunion with little Luke.  I can't believe that it's been 10 years but at the same time it seems like a lifetime ago.  How crazy how things change.  Luke did awesome on the way there and back.  But a 9 hour drive with a baby by yourself is pretty crazy...I was more tired when I got home than when I left. 

Luke went to the Doctor last Monday and he weighs in at 10.1 lbs and  is 21.5 inches long. He's doing pretty good.  This week he has slept much better and is even a little less fussy : )   He is even smiling now which is so fun and makes it all worth it!  Marcus is now into baseball and we play almost everyday.  I think that when a sport is in season he loves it.  But we can always fall back to football if he gets bored. 

Here's some recent pics of the boys. 

I tried forever to get these next pics to turn around...it's saved on my computer correctly but loads into blogger wrong...if you know how to fix it let me know! :)

Little Buddies!

I walk out this is what I see...so sweet.  I love it and I love my boys!



Luke had a Dr's appointment on Thursday and now he weighs in a 8.8.  He's in the 70th percentile in weight and 60th for height (in preemies).   He is pretty much out of newborn clothes and is getting cute little rolls on his legs.  The Dr said that he probably doesn't have reflux and it just from the medicine that he is on for sleep apnea.  It's breaks down to caffeine so no wonder why he doesn't sleep.  He will have to be one it at least one more month and cross our fingers he can come  off of it and sleep a little more at night. 


Like Father Like Son!

Aaron got a couple of presents for Marcus recently and thought I would post a few pcitures because if you know Aaron then you know of his love for shoes and Michael Jordan.

An Update from US!

Here's an update from us...Luke is eating sleeping and pooping and Marcus is running around with energizer batteries that keep on going and going and going. 

Well the more detailed version of events around our house are... Luke is now 7 weeks old today.  Wow time flies when you don't get any sleep.  Last Saturday he weighed in at a whooping 7 lbs 11 ounces.  That's actually a pretty good weight gain for a boy who started out so tiny.  We think that Luke has some reflux but right now the doctors want to hold off on any medicine to see how well he does and if it doesn't get any worse.  I feel so bad for the little guy as it seems he is pretty uncomfortable and not sleeping the greatest.  Marcus caught a cold last week so Luke has been in his own little isolation to make sure that he doesn't catch it.  Marcus is almost over it so soon he a Luke will be reunited.  Poor Marcus has been pretty sad that he can't see or hold the baby but a sick preemie baby is one thing we don't need.  Marcus as I said earlier is on the go almost all day.  He's been pretty good with me having to take care of Luke but that's probably because he gets to watch a little more TV than usual.  Well here's some updated pics from us...



Marcus loves the baby and to give him kisses on the head.

Marcus loves to help dad and mom cook it up in the kitchen.
