May in Richmond

May is one of my favorite times of the year. In Indiana the weather is perfect. The porch door can stay open all day, the grass is so green and everything is in bloom. I always wish it could stay like this forever.

I spent a week in Richmond with John's family. We enjoyed beautiful weather, baby Luke and wonderful home-cooked meals. Baby Luke is the cutest little guy ever and such a pleasure to be around. His smile makes your heart melt! Last time I saw him was in October, when he was not even two months old. Today marks his eighth month and he is such a different baby. He is so strong, happy and inquisitive. It is amazing to watch him learn. He has a few tricks and has mastered them quite well. With the aid of two steady fingers, he will grab hold and pull himself up. Each time he grins ear-to-ear with pride. It never gets old. He also learned to wave and clap his hands while in Richmond. He picked up this little, irresistibly funny gremlin laugh too.

What a nice evening!

Baby's got rhythm.

Love the pointed finger.

Luke spilled water at the dinner party and was waiting for some dry clothes.
