A week ago, we went camping with couples from our church. We go every spring and fall. It was Luke's first camping trip while outside of the womb-Jenn was a trooper and went when pregnant last year. Luke did great and we had a blast. We look forward to many, many more camping outings together.

It was cold at night and in the morning, but we had the fire and layers of clothes to put on. Luke didn't seem to mind at all.

Our dogs in the hammock and the tent in the background. You can see the extention cord on the ground leading to the electric blanket and sound machine going to our tent--we rough it, but not too rough.

Cooking pancakes and sausage in the morning. Everything tastes better while camping!

Our friends had their bikes, so Luke and I went for a ride. He loved it! He talked the whole time. It may be time to get one for ourselves

He passed out right at seven every night, so we just took turns cuddling him around the campfire before we went to bed. It was good times.

A Day At White Rock Lake

Jennifer, Luke, Jason and Catherine(Gutting)Baumgardner all went to White Rock Lake to take some pictures. Luke loved it. Here's just some of the highlights.

He loves to stare

I promise I caught him. He loves it and mommy is getting used to it.

This looks like he's playing with the bird, but it's actually on the post closer to the camera.
