oops-that picture is way too big. What do I do now?

Here is Jared's "long hair" picture. We are going to post a "black hair" picture, and then an "all cut off-yeah!" picture. We think it is funny-it is driving him bonkers.

I need to clarify-it was Dad who said the immortal, wise words "we can't kiss too much". I just heartily agree!

Happy Birthday Krista and Papa!

Hunter is very excited for both of you that you get to have birthdays and he's DYING to sing to you tonight. He asks me every day when his birthday is and if we can have cake and presents. Spencer and I explained about Christmas last night though, so maybe he'll have a new focus. I hope you both get to party lots and not have to work very hard. You'll have to make sure and post what special b-day gifts you got from your significant others. Happy Birthday!!!

I just wanted to try to upload a picture on the blog... welp, looks like it worked!

Dee-sgusting kissing on purpose. ew.

i would like to point out that when krista and aaron kiss, they make HIGHLY NOISY kissy noises (on purpose just to annoy me, but really they are very loud) that is why i barf. its Dee-sgusting. YOu probably would be a little paranoid about their kissy noises too if you walked in on them kissing goodnight. it was quite... ew. anyways, i just wanted to explain myself. ps this is Amy :)

Hunterisms

Today we're on our way home from our date night, after we picked Hunter up from playing with his friend. He is sitting in the back seat saying "I want Ninnas", and so Heather tells him he can have a few when we get home. He goes on to tell us-"I have a few Ninnas, then time go to bed, NOT time to play." It was like he had been practicing and was telling us we couldn't play with him when we got home.

Then I was stopping quickly for a yellow light, and he is in the back screaming "slow DOWN daddy, slow DOWN!

Also, recently he started saying a small sentence in gibberish, and when we ask him what he said, he replies, "I didn't say anything!"

what i meant with the little sister pretending to barf... anytime she sees us kissing. not just anytime she sees me. :)

wow, the title is amazingly inspired. i love it! so this is my first post ever so i'm pretty excited about it!!! hmmm, what should i say?? well it actually has to be pretty short (i know, don't cry i'll write a novel later) b/c i have to go help set up for our work party. and i even have a significant other to bring to my work party. how presh is that?
umm, as for an update: life is good. work is good. aaron is good. kissing is fun. especially when your little sister pretends to barf any time she's sees you. but don't worry, as mom once wisely said, you can't kiss too much. :) as mom also once wisely said,
suffocation we like suffocation, suffocation the game we like to play....

POSTING

I don't have much to say, I just wanted to post.  To feel like a real hardcore blogger.  I hope you've all enjoyed mother's different statuses on facebook.  I found out how to hack into her account and it's been pretty fun to mess with what I think her statuses should say.  

Dating Updates?

So now that the blog is up, let's get some life details here from everyone. Those not dating can discuss whatever else they're up to. My last date was with Spencer at the mall. Then he took me out for frozen custard at Sheridans. It was amazing as always and we even kissed good night!

Heather, I've never seen that family picture of you guys. It is adorable. I set up a blog with Katie when I was gone to school and she was at home, and my name for that was Blanche...so my name might still be that, I'm not sure how to change that... but oh well!

Mom and Dad

It all started here! :)

Title?

Spencer and I thought "Luke Family Blog" was maybe a boring title and we wanted to ask everyone if there were other ideas. Our blog title, for example, is "Living in the Moment". Go ahead and comment or post your title ideas and then I'll put up a poll for us to vote on them.

Here we go...

The family blog is officially set up now! Everyone (except Jared because I have no email for him) should have received an email inviting them as an author of this blog. You'll probably have to follow a link from the email and give a password and display name so you can post here.

Once that is done, come to this blog and sign in. The option to sign in is at the top of the screen on the right side of the blue bar. Then click on "New Post" to make an entry. It will come up with an area for you to type what you want. Then click the orange button saying "Publish Post" when you're done.

To post pictures, you still click on "New Post". Then, before you start typing, click the button that has mountains and blue sky. It will let you browse your computer for a picture to post. It works best if you choose to center the picture and put it at medium size. It can take quite a while to upload the picture depending on your internet connection. After the pictures are up, type whatever you'd like to say by each picture. Finally, "Publish Post".

To respond to a post you can do a new post or just comment on it, which is quicker. To comment, go to the bottom of the post where it says "0 comments". If there are already comments it will tell how many there are. Then click it and leave your comment. It will have you sign in to do this so it can say who is commenting. The major difference between posting and commenting is that only the family can actually post, but anyone can leave a comment. So if other significant others that aren't technically family would like to say something, they can feel free to comment.

Well that's all I can think of for now. Call, email, or post if you have questions.
