Maddox thought he was alright. The best was when we were trying to take a family picture with Erin, Lukas, and me and Maddox was trying to get Lukas to smile. He was making silly faces at him with his fingers in the ears and tongue sticking out. Who knows, it may have worked if only Lukas would have opened his eyes to actually see the faces he was making :)
We also got a picture of all the Beck grandchildren. Such a great looking group!
Kayla discovered how much Lukas likes to be bounced! She became a pro at calming a fussy baby by just standing and holding him while she bounced him up and down. He loved it! Erin and I have been attempting it ever since, but I think Lukas knows its not Kayla doing the bouncing. It also never failed that once Kayla got him calmed down, Evin was ready to take him off of her hands. She wasn't sure how fair it was that she got the fussy baby and then once he was sleeping and peaceful, she had to given him up.
It was great to have them around and hear all about how things are going for them. I know Lukas enjoyed meeting them. With them living so far we don't get to see them a lot, but that only makes it more special when we do!
We also made Grandma Strube very happy this weekend! At Christmas she wanted all of her family to get individual family pictures so she could update them at her house. The last one was quite sometime ago and many people had been added since. It was a great idea, however our family didn't get our picture taken. We were planning it and then some things just didn't work out, which we figured was fine because it was going to be out dated anyway without Lukas. We went ahead and took this opportunity of having everyone here to take our picture for her. It turned out pretty good. I figured atleast everyone is in it now, even if the baby in the middle looks like he was just pinched before the flash! We can try again at Christmas :)
I like the new "look" of the blog. Great family pictures - keep up the good work! mom
