ACK: A Preview

Luke just got back from a his first official vacation - all the way to Nantucket. Paige's friend from college, Sarah, has a fantastic house on the island, and a big group of us gathered together to eat, drink, and be merry for Independence Day. We have lots and lots of pictures to wade through, and some catch up posts to write, but thought we'd give a special sneak preview of Luke's big trip!

Luke had fun learning lots of mischief from Sarah's boys, Jacob and Ronan (of the Jacob & Ronan Collection)

Luke got suited up for the walk down to Fisherman's Beach - and made sure to pack his trusty broom. (He seriously carried it the entire ride down)

Luke posed postcard perfect with Dad

A little less so with Mom

And spent the majority of his time on the beach sound asleep in his stroller

He made good use of the "bonus sweater" from Cathy on a chilly evening

He took an educational walk through the Cisco Brewery

And just look at all of the fun the kids were having together! (yes, Sarah bought them all matching shirts and buckets)

We had an incredible time hanging out with old friends & can't wait to share all of our great memories....but first, Mom & Dad need a good night's sleep!

Last weekend we brought Luke back to the location of his shower, the immortal crazy German bar, Helmers. Though it is not the same after the renovation (and the removal of the Bavarian Club, the best sandwich of all time) we still enjoy it, even if we can no longer sit in our favorite bench seats at the end of the bar.

After charming our favorite waitress, Luke got right down to business, supplementing his baby food dinner with lots and lots of meatloaf and mashed potatoes.




As you can see from the mess, he wasn't shy about eating right off the table


Don't Touch!

Despite all appearances, he only drank out of the blue bottle



Luke was sure to get every last bit of the meatloaf


Finally, exhausted from all of the German goodness, Luke had to take a break.
