Christmas #2

So, I know I am a little late with this, but here are some pictures from our Christmas #2. Christmas #1 was spent with the Woods, but I don't have pictures from that yet. I promise to post from that when I get them
The day after Christmas was spent with the Lucks. Adelyn absolutely loves her cousin Robert and was very happy to wake up the morning of Christmas #2 to his sweet face. It was quite an eventful day and present openning lasted until the following evening. It was wonderful to spend so much time with the entire Luck family!

Christmas morning! You might think she is smiling b/c snow is on the ground, but...


I am pretty sure it was b/c Rob was running to the door :)


After breakfast, we went downstairs where the boys had put together Adelyn's new play house. As you can see, she was thrilled!! She has been talking about the house every day since she got it.

After a quick nap, the kids got to open their next big present: thomas the train books and tickets to go on a train ride to Staunton! Rob and Adelyn absolutely loved riding the train and had a blast looking out the window and hearing the train whistle blow.

The morning was quite eventful, so we all rested a bit when we got back from the train ride.

Soon after the kiddos woke up from their naps, GPop and Grandmother came to visit.

We finally got started openning presents and this year was so much fun b/c Robert and Adelyn really enjoyed openning and handing out presents this year.

One of Adelyn's favorite toys was her new baby doll from Grami. She is giving it a hug in this picture after she told the baby "no cwying baby, no cwying"

Giving the baby a bottle. She is going to be a great big sister!

"Cutting" fruits and veggies together

After a long evening of present openning, the kids were wiped out and enjoyed a little rest time together.

The day Rob left, Adelyn was very sad, but she did have fun playing on Pop's lap.

Tackle hugs from Robert. We miss you Robert!! (and Aunt Lauren and Uncle Robert too!)

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 :)
