Counter tops are in!

The kitchen is looking so great! We are still waiting for the range, microwave, and we also need to put the fridge back in its place. Other than that the kitchen is done and I made our first meal from it last night! It tasted so good:)
We are still using the stove in the front room so that is still coming in handy too.

Luca scooting some more

Luca is getting faster and motors around the house and yard. He had a quick break from his AFO's in the video. He can scoot with or without AFO's, and shoes.

Our Garden

John and I did some serious weeding and planting in our garden. We are hoping for a full summer of veggies. Tomatoes, cucumbers, red peppers, sweet peas, string beans, zucchini, squash, strawberries, lettuce, kale and herbs. We will see how they grow. We started with starters and seeds. I think it makes our yard look so cute too. Luca loved helping too, he got super muddy. We all loved it!

All in a days work

John is amazing. He got these cabinets up so fast and they look fantastic. Luca tried to climb in one while it was sitting on the floor. I thought he looked pretty cute in it:)

Daddy's little helper

Luca wanted in on the action this morning! He loves the tools, nails, and shims.

New cabinets

New cabinets and new hand and elbow splints

Luca scooting

Luca's new tent

I think Luca is going to like camping like his parents! Heather and Moises, Amelie and Matthew gave Luca a tent for his birthday. I got it set up yesterday in the beautiful 70 day. Luca loved it. Can't wait to go camping this summer! And hang out in our new backyard. It is SO nice to have a yard.

Luca is scooting...again

Since the last casting series started back in March Luca hasn't been able to scoot until yesterday!!! He just decided to be on the move. He can go across the whole living room, and on into his room or on the new floors. I will post a video soon. He is getting faster too! Yay, finally time to baby proof our house. I guess that means this home project better get done soon:)

Happy Mother's Day

John and Luca gave me a very special mother's day. I was surprised by flowers in the morning and two special cards. One from Luca and one from John. Luca even put his foot print on it, which meant a lot to me. After work, I went on a run, laid in the sun, and John and I went out for dinner. It was a great day!

John and Luca

They were cuddling on the couch the other day. It was so cute.

kitchen project

We have some floors! Yay! I wanted to include some pictures so you have an idea of what the bamboo floors look like. They are solid wood, almost the same price as nice carpet, and are a renewable resource. I also think they look great! Here are a few pictures of John working on putting them in. He is amazing. The green is the back on the new kitchen walls where the cabinets are going to go in. We are thankful that Luca can sleep through the banging.

Happy Birthday to one of Luca's biggest fans

It is Grandma Walker's 82nd birthday today. Luca sends his love and smiles from Seattle. Wish we could be there to celebrate your wonderful years of life and the way you have cared for others during all of them. We love you, John, Katie and Luca
