Especially about LUKE

OK so, Luke loves visitors. A couple weeks ago Luke was in a horrible, no good and even awful mood, for about 2 weeks. Then...Uncle Mike shows up and he is a completely different boy, and so happy and NICE!! Now Grandpa Stephen is here and he is sooooooooo happy and even NICER!!!!!!! So the conclusion is that we are going to need someone around all the time visiting. Any volunteers!?!?!? Actually we leave for AK Oct 19th for two weeks and then Aunt Mary comes back with us till we leave again for Christmas break so we'll have her to help with his attitude. But we would still be happy for any visitors!!!

We are having a wonderful time with grandpa Stephen. Luke and "Gampa" are getting along GREAT. Luke is so happy to have him hear to wrestle with and to read stories to him. Hannah loves him too, she just doesn't show it so much...except when she gives him her BIG smiles!!

Luke and his papa have been getting along so much better the past couple weeks. I think Luke is finally coming out of his mama addiction...slowly, but we are taking a few steps in the right direction. He finally goes to papa in the morning without crying and hollering for me, and he asks for papa (actually he hollers for him) when I spank him or he gets in trouble for something. Luke lets papa put him to bed and read him stories and and he doesn't even cry any more when I leave to go to the store without him. IT"S SO GREAT!!! However, Hannah is just starting her mama addiction, but hopefully hers won't be nearly as bad as her brothers was.

Hopefully, weather permitting, we will be going to a cider mill with "Gampa" today and a coal mine tour. We are looking forward to getting out of the house. It rained most of yesterday so we didn't get out for more than 30 min to bounce on the trampoline when there was a break in the rain.

Matthew just came in the house and said that Grandpa Stephen fixed our garage door. We tryed all of last year to fix that and it only took him a min. I don't thin we are going to let him leave. Let's see what else he can fix!!!
