Mid-week update!

We are blessed to find ourselves having a great summer even with Luke's broken leg.  We have gone swimming a couple of times since he got the cast on and he has shown us that he can even swim with a cast on.   He just uses his arms more, which is perfect practice for swimming anyway. This kid never ceases to amaze me.  I really need to get a video of him swimming

We have been watching Wild China on Netflix lately.  It is totally intriguing, and has us convinced that we need to get to China to see it in real life.  For family night on Monday Doug showed the kids some highlights.

For dessert we sampled some treats we found at the local Oriental Market.  I liked the butter coconut cookies the best.

Luke has been standing a bit over the last few days, and today he actually took a few steps by himself.  He generally just crawls all over the house and can stand up and climb up on things as well.

His "sock shoes" came in the mail and he wanted to venture outside for a walk on the sidewalk.  He can walk about 10-12 steps holding a hand before saying he's done.

We took him to a park yesterday and found out that he can swing so we did a bit more swinging tonight.  Have you noticed how he's not smiling in any of these shots?  He told me he doesn't want to smile for cameras, he just wants to do action poses.

He's a tough little kid and he is doing well.

And I'll leave you now with some action shots of everyone jumping on the trampoline tonight.

Good Night!
