Fresh

 And Thankful....This first post takes me back to July of 2008 when I got frazzled by technology trying to start a blog about Luke. So...I am closing up to get another piece of pie and say thanks that I THINK I got this new blog up and running...lots more to come (I hope!)

Family time - Nature time & thankful time!

Early Thanksgiving

Luke and I attended a Thanksgiving dinner at one of our alternative schools tonight, and it was great fun! It is planned by a family literacy program that helps support and educate teen parents...so there were several young children there. Luke loved that he got to take a book home, and he loved writing on the dry erase board with a new friend, who he proudly told me was eleven :) Big boy!

Someone is writing personal letters these days :)

Love time

Cook & relax

Make some 'soup', read some books, enjoy life!

PS: the books are from my speech class days. Luke gets a kick out of them, and likes asking about what I learned in speech.

Just a cool looking photo from a lunch at Longbranch...

I am not sure that any adults at the SIU football game today had as much fun as Luke and his buddies. What a great afternoon!
