Happy Mother's Day 2011

Luke drew a picture for Mommy this year - Daddy only helped with labeling the 4 family members and the label at the bottom right corner. I guess Ks are hard!

"I'm drawing your short hair, Daddy."

The traditional Mother's Day stroll was taken. Luke & Mommy were hounded by paparazzi.

Please, we're living our LIVES here!

Oh, OK, a few pictures. Think Harper's ready to try some solid food? (though Luke is eating the forbidden fruit....peanut butter)
Awwww
No idea what these two goofballs are doing here...

Harper's First Trip to the Electric City

We took Harper on her first trip to Scranton last weekend


Luke had a checklist of things he wanted to accomplish. It included:
1) Wear Grandpa's chef's hat
2) Look at Grandpa's tools in the basement

...Meanwhile, Harper spent some time with Grandma
Luke acquired some of his father's old toys
3) Go to the Trolley Museum
He "drove" a trolley
And rang the bell of another
Then it was time for a trolley ride!
Think he was excited?


Harper played it coooool

The "Lukey-sized trolley" was Luke's favorite part of the whole museum

4) Help Grandpa in the garden (they planted lettuce)
Note he's still wearing his sticker from the trolley museum

And when it was time to leave, Luke was T I R E D


BONUS HARPER SHOTS!
Mommy & Harper had a lunch date with Auntie Lisa, so Harper wanted to get gussied up in her outfit from Grammy Rosella
CHUBBY HUGS!
Action shot!
Tres jolie, Harper, tres jolie
Seeking piggies...
Piggies: Acquired

Hippity Hoppity

The Easter Bunny came to Hoboken!


Eggs were dyed






And eggs were eaten

The EB ate his carrots!

And hid Luke's basket in Harper's clothes hamper

So much loot!
And a wee basket for Harper, too!

With bunny ears!
To match her brother's!

Auntie Lisa's matzo brei was eaten


And then a bunny ear photo shoot was in order! With huuuugs
And Luke showing off his recessive gene
And many attempts to find the both of them smiling at the camera...

This one will be their album cover one day
Kind of smiling?



Now Harper in the fancy ears!
Then, Luke FINALLY got to take his flip flops outside! He's been waiting WEEKS.

Luke's friend, Amelia, gave him a belated birthday present the night before - he practically wore this around his neck all day





Harper showed off her best feature, her PIGGIES!


The Courtship of Lukey's Father...
A pitstop at Hoboken's beach was made
Swings!

And then home to close out the day with some love and adoration


BONUS PATRIOTISM!
