We are finally back. I'm so not a computer person and I think Luke gets tired of showing me over and over how to use all the new stuff on the computer. So I haven't been taking a ton of picture because I couldn't figure out how to put them on the computer, but now I have figured it out and can do it on my own. Not a lot has been happening in our home lately. Dirk loves going outside (when the rain pauses for a minute). I have had to put locks on the door to make sure he doesn't get out. He also for some reason loves locking people out so we have to make sure to take keys with us whenever we step out. He loves jumping on the tramp and riding his scooter he got for Easter and is getting pretty good at riding. With the weather we have been having it's been really hard to get all the things we need to get done outside, done. We got an apple tree from my grandparent for Dirk and finally got it planted this last week. Dirk is so excited to have apple and it's a 4 in 1 so it will have 4 different kinds of apples on one tree. We still want to finish cutting a big dead tree in the backyard and paint our house before we get our new windows. Landy is doing wonderful and still growing like a weed. We took her to her 2 month appointment this week and she is 11.4 pounds and 22 1/2 inches tall and in the 75% of everything. She got all her shot and did pretty good with them. She was a little fussy not to much and had a small fever. She's starting to get really active and smiling (finally all my hard work is paying off). She is cooing and looking around taking everything all in. She is out growing a lot of cloths and I'm praying her blessing dress still fits when we bless her. She is really starting to get chunky and we love her little rolls. She is still really a good baby except for not sleeping at night (she wants to sleep all day and party all night.) Which is hard with Dirk. I'm getting any naps. So here are some random picture of what we have been up to.... Here is the dress that Luke bought when we were in the hospital. Sleeping baby.

Luke's family had a BIG fire. I spent most of the time in the car feeding the baby. We did get out for a minute.

Here's the boys. Dirk played in the dirt the whole time.

You can see it around his face.

Jumping on the tramp.

Well a lot has happened in the last month. Where to start?... Dirk has finished potty training himself. I was so proud of him. He was doing really good before we had the baby except for #2. He would not do that on the potty. We tried stickers, toys, treats and nothing would work. Finally the day after we brought Landy home from the hospital he just started going in and doing. He would go in and take care of his business then call us to come see. It has been wonderful and I'm so happy I don't have to change his diapers anymore. It has really been a blessing. He is doing so well with Landy. People have tried to trade him candy and toys for the baby but he has decided she is his and he's not going to giver her away to anyone. We are trying to make sure he gets is special time with us. We have been also doing fun little projects while Landy sleeps and I think that is helping too. Landy is growing like a weed!! She is getting so big, so fast. It makes me a little sad I really want her and Dirk to stay little forever. She is a really good baby. She goes with the flow of things and has no problems as long as her tummy is full. She is sleeping pretty good once I get her to bed. She likes to stay up and watch the late show. She loves watching Dirk play. She is smiling a little, and talks a lot. She is very vocal at times. I can't wait for her to show more and more of her personality. Right now she is just a sweet little lady. I have also enjoyed seeing all the nicknames we have given her. Dirk has so many and I wondered what we would come up with for her. Dirk's were Dirky Doo, Doo, Dirky Turkey, Bubba, Little Man and on and on. Landy's so far are Lando Commando (that is what Dirk calls her), Girl friend, Lil' Ladybug, Bug and Lady I don't think we ever call her just Landy. Well sorry there are no new pictures on this post. We bought a new computer and our memory card won't work in it. We have to get a converter and that is Luke's job. So hopefully soon we will get some pictures up.
