Tis The Season!

Finally, a pregnancy picture! I have been so busy with work and holiday stuff that I just have not been able to get a picture of this little man on the way. Yesterday, I was taking pictures for our Christmas card and had Ashley take a few pics. I am 24weeks along now, which means the baby is viable! Here are some random pics from our photo shoot and play time with Ashley.


Hugging her "baby bruder"


Pointing to the baby :)

Eating at Lisee and Poppy's house. Don't you love that bow!! My sister is making bows, so if you have a little girl and are interested, she is selling them and they are fabulous! Email me or leave me a post on this blog and I'll give you more information about it.

Look at that staticky hair! I love it!! This is the play house at my parent's hosue and Adelyn LOVES it!

Another UVA game

Despite the Hoos poor performance, we continue to go to all of the games. Last night was the last home game and we managed to stay for the whole game. Adelyn and Rob did very well, but I think they were mostly interested in watching their Uncle Will cheer and eating all the fun snacks. Here are some pics of our little wahoo, who every time she sees anything that even resembles the shape of a "V" says, "UVA!"


Dressed in her UVA best and ready to go to the game with Auntie Ash


It may appear that they are watching the football game, but I am pretty sure they are watching Uncle Will do a cheer leading lift on the side line. Go Will!

Sitting with Daddy/Ucle "teev". If you notice, Steven can't take his eyes off the game even for a second :)

Aunt Ashley caught a football and gave it to Addie. She was holding on tight!

Watching the game with Pop. "Pop, don't let anyone steal my football."

Snuggling with Grami ("mimi")...it was cold!

Halloween 2010

This Halloween, Steven, Adelyn and I went to the Lawn at UVA to "trick-or-treat" and show off her cute duckie costume. We had lots of fun seeing all the other kids dressed up in fun costumes as well. At one point, Adelyn saw a little boy dressed up in a dog costume and started yelling "puppy, puppy!" until he turned around at which time she got a very confused look on her face b/c she had never seen a puppy that looked like a little boy. It was hilarious! Here are some great pictures that Ashley took while we were there. There are a few of Kate Wood, Turner McNerney and few other play group friends. Enjoy!

Welcome Micah Rathbone!!

On October 21st, my dear friend Megan Rathbone had her second little boy, Micah Jeffrey Rathbone. He had a little bit of a rough start and was in and out of the NICU, but he is now home with his mommy and daddy and big brother, Noah. We are so excited to finally see his sweet little face, and we can't wait to meet him!!

Isn't he just precious!!!!!

On the way....

- Steven and I are hopefully "on the way" to buying a new house (we hope, we hope!). We have no leads now, but once things settle down a bit, we hope to start searching more seriously. Currently, we are living with Sandra and Bob in Ivy and are loving being back in c'ville.

- I am "on the way" to working independently as a nurse on the OB unit at Martha Jefferson hospital. Currently, I am working full time and being oriented to the floor. By mid Dec, I should be working on my own and will cut back my hours to part time (20 hours a week), working evenings (3-11p). I have really enjoyed starting work again, and MJH is a wonderful hospital.

- and, the biggest news of all, another Luck is on the way!! I am due March 31st and am almost 17weeks pregnant. The pregnancy has gone well so far, and zofran has been a wonder drug for all the unfortunate side effects. Adelyn doesn't quite understand, but when I ask her where the baby is, she either points to my belly or picks up her shirt and points to her belly. Steven and I are very excited for this new little one and can't wait for his/her arrival!

Uuu Wee Ai! (ie UVA)

Although I have nothing good to say about our football team, our sweet Adelyn loves to cheer for them. She "sings" the Good Ole Song while holding her hand up, and says "U Wee Ai" any time she sees a V saber, orange and blue things, or the cavalier. She is a full on UVA fan, with a cheerleading outfit (to match her uncle Will, of course) and an orange and blue smocked dress with 2 V sabers and a cavalier on it. Needless to say, Addie's daddy is very proud :)

Adelyn eats a salad

Check out this hilarious video of Addie eating a cleo salad at Bodos yesterday with Steven and Aunt Catherine

Fun with Cousin Rob

Two weeks ago, cousin Rob spent a few days with us. It was lots of fun, and Addie loved having play time with Rob every day. My favorite part of the weekend was that Adelyn and Rob would hug each other and give high fives...so sweet!!!

Future Wahoos!!!!

Sitting on Pop's lawn mower.

Playing on the trailer.

Rob loved pushing Adelyn in the stroller...hilarious!

Beach Week #2

During the second beach week, Steven, Adelyn, and I had lots of fun playing with the whole Luck family. Adelyn really enjoyed playing with Rob, and I enjoyed all the extra loving help again and getting to relax at the beach.

Here are some fun pics from that week.



We got caught in the rain one day while out on the beach. Rob and Addie actually loved playing in the rain.




Rob was just pulling Adelyn in the wagon, which became a favorite activity of the week.

Playing with Aunt Lauren

Being wheeled on the beach by daddy!

Reading with Pop

On Thursday, we went to Scoops to get ice cream. Addie and Rob loved it, of course.

Look how cute they are eating ice cream together!

Ice cream face!

These kids mooched from everyone :)

Thank goodness for a long bib!

oh, I love those sticky fingers on my face :)

Loving her daddy

The kids and their dads

Kisses from aunt Catherine

Cheese!

The oringinal 4 Luck kids.

Julia and Steven were pointing to a helicopter. Adelyn is pointing too, which has become one of her new favorite activities. Any time I get her out of bed, she immediately starts pointing to anything she sees and starts "talking" about it. It's really funny.

Catching up...Beach Trip #1

This summer Addie and I were fortunate to be able to spend 2 weeks at the beach! The first week was with the Woods and McNerneys. It was lots of fun for both me and Addie b/c Addie had plenty of little and big friends to entertain her. That being said, we both really did miss Steven/Daddy. Here are some fun pics from our 1st beach week.

The Lisas decided they didn't want to do the shopping this year so they left it up to the girls. It was fun to hold all that cash, but not as much fun to spend all of it on food.


Look at that sweet face :)


Swinging with Ash and Mommy


Love her!!

If you notice, Adelyn is not playing in the water table. Instead, she is using keys to try to unscrew all the screws. I think she has her daddy's engineering mind for sure!

Addie loved playing with her buddy, Turner.

All the kiddos feel in love with a little cubby under the TV...

It was so cute to watch them play in it together.

On the beach with her Ash.

Uncle Skip!

Addie really loved playing with Erin Ingraham. We are so sad she and Jonathan moved away from Charlottesville about the same time we moved back.

Addie and Poppy

Addie and Katherine McNerney...looks like someone was ready for nap time

Eating Os with E

All the kiddos on the coach! They are so cute!
