Prayer Request & Weekend Update

My friend, Suzanne, who is pregnant with twins (I wrote about her here ... and yes, I'm over it) is due to be induced tomorrow morning.  If you could spare a prayer for her, she is going to try and have both babies the good old-fashioned-way and try not to go for a c-section unless she has to.  If you could pray for a safe delivery and health of both her baby girls and herself, I would be so grateful!

In other news, we had a great weekend with family on Saturday, when everyone got together at our house.  Luke's cousin, J, is 2 months older than Luke, so they are kind of at the fun age where they still like each other, but don't know why.  I took a few shots of them both and enjoyed babysitting both of them, by myself, on Saturday morning.  It was super easy for about 15 minutes, about 8 am, when they both were asleep, then it got tougher as I had to feed one while entertaining the other and vice versa.  And the icing on the cake was Luke having a 15 minute cry-fest when I was feeding J (who is a big guy) and I couldn't hold Luke ... so I learned to make use of the boppy pillow for J with a bottle and I knelt on the floor beside J and held Luke.  It. Was. Awesome!  (kind of kidding)  Lets just say that I thought outside the box on that one.  I'm not sure how to handle two kids, but I guess other people survive, so I probably would too.  :-)

We started out the day well ... both playing on our play mats.

Then, Luke decided to fuss while I was giving Baby J his bottle.  

After putting Baby J in the boppy pillow & feeding him, I could hold Luke & he would decide to fall asleep ... for about 30 minutes.

The boys then helped me make chocolate chip cookies for the guests who were coming over that day.  I told them all the secrets of making some amazing cookies ... from a package mix!  :-)

Then it was nap time for Baby J.  Luke got to play in his crib and watch his mobile (the best $15 we ever spent!)  Baby J naps for 30 minutes.

Then hubby's mom & brother showed up, so they had to take pictures with the boys.  I don't think Luke quite had Baby J figured out yet ... 

Yay!  Lukie found his toes!  He just stared ... and stared ... and stared.  So cute!!!

Taking both boys to the mall to go shopping!  So much fun to be out and about!  People kept thinking my BIL and I were the ones married and had both babies ... we weren't even sitting close together ... the babies look like visibly (I think) different ages ... some people need to know when to keep their mouths shut!  There isn't a filter on what comes out of their mouths!  :-)

The cutest little K-State-er around!  Love this pic!  

The most unintentional picture ever turned out to be the funniest and cutest thing in the whole world!  Ok, I'm biased ... but how can you have a bad day looking at this lil' guy?

It was hard being so cute ... Luke fell asleep in his carrier.   

Before Cousin J left ... we had to get another shot of them playing ... and holding hands.  :)

Sunday afternoon we played Aggravation with Uncle J (Hubby's bro) who stayed over.  

No, Luke didn't win that game.  :(

Sunday, we were a GREAT napper!  Our festivities on Saturday just plain tuckered us out!

Luke loves to be photographed, videotaped and then look at himself and coo back to himself.  We were just goofing around with the camera.  I think he's trying to say something ...  :)
