Thought I would just post a few pics of Great G-pa & G-ma with Drew on Sept 21, as well as a few pics of the Vander Hart Reunion in Knoxville on Sept 6.

Happy Fall!

Playing hoops with Keaton!

Never wake a sleeping baby, right? He cracks us up. He loves blankets around his head.

Playing together so nicely...I'm sure there will be lots of these days in the next 18 years.

Luke's first day of school!

Go MSU!!!! Luke's first Big 10 football game and it rained the WHOLE ENTIRE day. He made it through though - good job buddy! He loves Sparty. Steve & Caiden Felkey are good friends from church.

A duet! =)

It was very cool to have Uncle Ken & Keaton visit. Good luck with the college decision-making, Keaton!

Hi there everyone,

Hope you all are doing well! We are doing fine here. It's been busy but what is new?! We had a very nice summer. Luke started preschool last month and seems to be loving it! He also started swimming lessons and after 3 sessions of almost constant crying and not wanting to get in the pool, he finally "had fun" in lessons this past week, and even swam comfortably (with a float belt) around the pool in open swim last night. I think Papa's (Al's), Uncle Wess's, and Grandpa-great's encouragement in August helped. =)

Adam, a.k.a. SPT ('screaming pteradactyl') is doing great too. He loves to play cars with Luke, and is pulling himself up on everything. He now crawls up the entire set of steps all by himself (with me close behind). He still doesn't feel like walking by himself yet, which we're not complaining about, but he does get heavy...25#!

I am going to attempt to post some pictures on here tonight. Wish me luck =) Long-time blog reader, first-time 'blogger.' (Ok, I posted the pictures now, and they appear above the text...can't figure out how to make the alignment of pictures & texts work yet...bear with me).

love to you all!
