Luke loves to jump right in and help with whatever you are doing. If I’m cooking, he wants to add all the ingredients (and lick the bowl). If I’m cleaning bathrooms, he has to spray the mirrors and scrub the toilets. If Darin is mowing the lawn, he has to ride along, or raking leaves, or starting a fire (he loves that). One day the missionaries came over to give a little service and we happily put them to work. They helped us clear out all the overgrowth along the outside of the fence. Thanks guys! and of course Luke just wanted to get to work with them… he found some gloves and got his rake. and he wasn’t too happy when I said it was time to go to the library!
and then there were the turtles found in the brush, we just couldn’t leave them alone.
I’m glad I get to glimpse the world through my almost-four-year-old’s eyes every once in a while, it’s just so cool!
oh and he doesn’t forget anything. so we will definitely be canoeing at the Blocker’s sooner than later!

Just had fun perusing your blog:) I can’t believe how big Natalie looks…she’s a little darling! Love how Luke is all boy with those turtles. So fun!
