just for the cute factor (random pics from thursday and friday)

Luke walking home from the girls' school - wearing Julianna's backpack, pushing the stroller, looking like a miniature adult.

Also from our walk home yesterday..... Goofball city.  John Paul wearing binoculars, cause you just never know when you might need your binoculars.

After lunch today... it's always fun to watch them play together, most often all five in one big group, other times with different sets of them doing different things.  Today the middle three were hard-at-play in the boys' room while Luke and Julianna teamed up for some fun.  Julianna (the mommy) and Luke (the daddy) played like this for a long time -

Luke was a very tender daddy and would ask (in the sweetest voice imaginable) "do you want to touch my baby?" while he gestured towards baby's head.  Oh, and don't let all that long hair fool you, it's a boy baby :)

6 years separates these two, my oldest and my youngest.  Yet they still play happily together!  Honestly it's more Julianna "teaching" Luke how to play, but she truly enjoys him and he's a willing student and the conversations they have are just precious!
