OIB

For Labor Day, we met Aunt Robin and Pseudo Uncle Dana at Ocean Isle Beach, NC.  We had a great time beaching, swimming, golfing, outlet shopping and hanging out.  Here are some photos!

Luke would like to warn everyone that the last hole at the OIB mini golf course eats golf balls.  It doesn't matter how far you can stick your hand down the hole, you won't be able to recover it.  He tried.  This is very very upsetting.  It is really fortunate that there is an ice cream shop across the street to cheer one up after such a traumatic event.

Mr. Luke goes to Washington

Luke and his parents went to Washington a few weeks ago, and he saw the sights as well as his Aunt Robin and Pseudo-Uncle Dana (P. U. Dana).  Rather, he was present some of the sights - at others he was busy catching up on his sleep.  Here are some photos.

Robin & Dana Visit

This weekend Kristina, Ben, and Luke played host to Aunt Robin and her beau Dana. Robin and Dana had read previously on the blog of Grandpa SuperDave's exploits while he was visiting, and were very apprehensive about living up to his standard of helpfulness.

Considering they only had about a day and a half here, they did very well. They went shopping for and cooked and cleaned up after a fabulous dinner of eggplant and chicken parmigiana. They helped Ben with his yardwork by pruning shrubs and trees. They learned how to change diapers and put that skill to use. They baked muffins. And, perhaps most appreciated, they watched Little Luke on Sunday morning to allow Ben and Kristina an opportunity to go out to breakfast.

It was really good having them down, not just for the helpfulness, but the company as well. We're glad that Luke was able to meet them.
