Life with Luke: Portrait of an Artist

Portrait of an Artist

We busted out the finger paint this week. Luke had a blast, while Jules watched from the paint free safety of her exersaucer.

Both kids have been napping for over 3 hours. I don't know what to do with myself. This is far and away the longest period of time that I have had without a child (during the day) since Julia was born. This one nap thing rocks the house.

I'm off to try to remember what I used to do before I had children.
