Trick or Treat

Daddy October 31st, 2007

With Mommy in Atlanta, I was forced to take Alex out to steal candy from people’s porches. Let’s just say that we could’ve used Mommy’s artistic talents on the make up.

We went over to Aunt Jill’s and Uncle Dennis’s house to trick-or-treat in their neighborhood, but to be truthful, Alex got most of his candy from his family members. That was nice though because it allowed Jill to take these cute pictures.

Alex did eventually make his way to a couple of the neighbors’ houses, but one of them thought he was a bunny. A bunny? I thought it was fairly obvious that he was a dog. Don’t you?

Happy Halloween!  We hope yours was fun and safe!

What I Did Over Christmas Vacation- by Alex Luckhaupt

Alex January 21st, 2007

Mommy and Daddy both took a whole week of vacation after Christmas to play with me, and I got to visit old friends and make some new ones!  First, I saw my old buddy Tyler.  He might be more than a year older than me, but he’s still not much bigger than me!  Aren’t we cute in our jammies? 

Then I got to see Ella.  We met before, back when we were little, but we’ve both matured a lot since then.  Like Charlie Brown, I think I have a thing for little red-headed girls!  My daddy and Ella’s daddy, "Barney", were fraternity brothers together.  I’m not sure what that means, but Mommy says that she never pictured the two of them swapping stories about their babies back when they were at Sigma Nu.

Finally, I got to meet Daddy’s friend Phil’s daughter, Isa.  For once I wasn’t the youngest.  Poor baby Isa, she doesn’t even know how to sit up yet, but I told her not to worry, she’ll get there soon enough!

Don’t tell Mommy & Daddy, but I was kind of glad they had to go back to work so we could stop driving around so much!

Happy New Year!

Baby New Year wishes the best to you all!

Yes, Mommy had a glass of wine before deciding to make the hat.

Christmas Pictures

Daddy December 31st, 2006

Alex had sooooo much fun with his first Christmas experience!  Even though Mommy and Daddy were making him travel all around from place to place, he stayed in a good mood and enjoyed all of the fun and attention he was receiving.

First we went to Grandmother and Granddad Peters house on Christmas Eve.  As you can see, Alex was incredibly excited:

And why shouldn’t he be excited?  He was the center of attention all day, but all of that attention can take a lot out of a boy.

 

Eventually we were able to get around to the fun stuff and Alex got to open his first present.  He opened the presents like an old pro.  Of course, he was more interested in the paper than what was in the box.

Yep, Alex had a great time celebrating his first Christmas at the Peters’ house.

  

Christmas Day started out at home with Mommy and Daddy.  Alex had lots of presents to open, but that can be a lot of hard work, so a nap midway through was definitely in order.

  

After Alex got through all of the presents that Santa brought him at home, we went to Grandma and Grandpa Luckhaupt’s house and opened even more presents (not pictured).  We did take time for a nice family picture though.

After a long day of playing with his all of his cousins, Alex was pooped.  And so, he settled in for a long winter’s nap.

Alex says that this was his best Christmas ever!  We hope you all had a safe and happy Christmas as well!
