It's that time of year...

It's getting to be that time of year when I have to start picking up the studying as finals are approaching (less than 2 weeks!).  Fortunately, this third year hasn't been as intense.  My parents are coming this week for Thanksgiving, so that should be fun!  I'm sure Luke and Leo will enjoy having their grandparents in town! 

Good Pals

Luke just loves Leo! He's always saying Leo's name and saying "hi" to Leo and wanting to give him kisses, even though Leo doesn't say much in return. He's been such a good big brother so far!

A Week in the Life of Leo

Leo is one week old today! It's been a great week, though it'll take some getting used to saying that we're now a family of 4! Here are some pictures from Leo's first week:

Batman!

Luke was Batman for Halloween yesterday. I must say he looked pretty cute. Courtney did a great job on his costume. We took him to the Downtown Mall for some trick-or-treating around the stores (this was also Leo's first outing!). Later last night, we took him around our apartment complex for some more trick-or-treating. My sister, Kari, came to stay with us for the weekend, and she took care of Leo while we were out.

Tomorrow, I'll try to get some more pics up of little Leo. He's doing great!

He's here!

Leo Stratton Riddles, born October 26, 2009 (8 days early), 8 lbs. 2 oz.

Courtney and Leo are both doing great! More details to follow... :)

Plans for the Future

A brief conversation that Luke and I had this evening...

Me: Hey Luke, are you going to go to Duke or to BYU?

Luke: Cougar!

Well, I guess we all know where he stands right now! And we'd be happy with either choice.

In all fairness to Duke, though, he finds it much easier to say Cougar than Blue Devil right now. In fact, whether I'm wearing a Duke shirt or a BYU shirt, he always points to the mascot and says "Cougar." Good times.

Getting Ready for Bed

Just a couple quick pictures of Luke and Mommy right before bedtime...
