Mama!

Luke's first word was confirmed! He calls for his mommy now, when she exits the room, and when he is upset. At 6 months, he beats his siblings. They both talked early, but I think this one may be too smart for them. Raegan is pretty excited. I havent got him to do it for the camera yet.

6 months

Poor Luke had his 6 month doctor visit yesterday. Shots, shots, and more shots. He was really good for the doctor and nurses, laughing, being ticklish. Me and Jack left him there with Mommy, to go get Grace from school. Im glad I missed the shots this time.

Jack and Grace are doing good. They started their music lessons last week. Today is Jack's 2nd drum lesson. They go to piano on Tuesdays. They are really good about practicing. When each of them gets home from school, we sit down together and pound it out. Grace is putting both hands together already. The teacher didnt think Jack would learn as fast, so she stopped a couple lessons short of Grace. He practices probably 10 times a day, but will not go past the point the teacher told him to. I'll have to have a talk with her... After a couple months, we will see about alternating voice/piano. Grace isnt too excited about it, but we will see how she warms up to the teacher. So far, so good.

Fan boy / fresh ink

This one really likes to watch football. He stays interested for a very long time.

He proves it here, as the tired LSU fans leave the stadium.

Too bad LSU. Maybe next year.

Fresh ink! This isnt finished. We only had 2 1/2 hours to work on it. I'll be back there next month to finish it up. Tattoo by Marilan.

half sleeve outlined, and alot of shading in 2 1/2 hours is pretty quick work. She had nothing to go by, other than what I described to her. She drew it out on my arm, then went to mutilating it.

Its gonna be a hurricane, injecting lightning into my pick hand. True life story.
