Lukas met Santa for the first time at our credit union's annual "Breakfast with Santa". I think he said he wants to learn how to sleep through the night for Christmas!!
Allison was a little too nervous to sit on Santa's lap, so I was able to hold her next to him, at least.
Besides the breakfast, Emily also got to see Santa at the Zoo's ZooLights event. I believe she asked for an art set this year. (Yay! finally done with princess stuff!)
Lukas is a large 3-month-old now. He's outgrown everything but the 9 mos size clothing already, and is two feet (24 in) tall! Allison and Emily look the same...so here are some photos of Lukas.
I think Lukas is already getting some chubs! Mostly in his face. We like fat babies over here. I remember when Emily was a few months old (5 or 6) we were visiting family in Utah and my uncle asked me if I was feeding her pure cream. She was a chunk. Allison is a chunk right now. And we hope Lukas will follow in his sisters' footsteps.
Just for fun - I caught this beautiful butterfly on a flower in our front yard the other day. We get lots of little butterflies but not big ones like this very often. I thought it was neat.
Allison is quite the little character. She loves putting on Emily's swim goggles. And now climbing on things. I taught her how to climb into her high chair (since I can't lift her for six weeks) and now she tries to climb on everything! And she says "climb up" while she's doing it. She sure adds a joyous element to our home! And the hair in the face is typical - almost down to her mouth now but she doesn't care!
Emily had her first day of Kindergarten August 24. She was excited but very nervous when the day actually arrived. Kevin and I took her to the school in the morning and took pictures by the school sign (Kevin attended the same school when he was a little kid!). She was anxious to see her best friend, Savannah, who we met up with in the playground area before they lined up to go inside. They aren't in the same class, but at least they'll get to see each other before and after school.

There are 27 kids in her class - it seemed like the line was so long as they lined up to go inside!
After school she didn't say much about what she did at school, but she did smile when I asked her how her first day went. I think she will like it. After a week, she seems to be having a good time and getting more comfortable with going every day. And it's nice for me to have her out of the house doing something constructive on a daily basis!
