Luke's 4th Birthday

Four years. Good god. It seems like yesterday we were celebrating Luke's 1st birthday. This year's celebration was to happen over two weekends - one with family and one with little friends. Thanks to Mother Nature, our parties were pushed into one crazy weekend. Saturday afternoon Luke shared a birthday party at Gymboree with his good friend Henry. Sunday we opened the house for family. Both parties were great, and Luke made out well.

Party at Gymboree:

We don't have too much new to blog about. It is a very busy month for the Audii. Luke's birthday is next week, I can't believe he is going to be 4!!!! Mae turns 7 months next week as well. I hope you all have a wonderful December!
