"Trit Treet!" (and Other Stuff)

Luke "Chicken Little" Henard
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

After our family cold last week, Luke and I headed up to San Jose on Friday until this past Wednesday so he could visit with his a couple of his Stanford doctors on Monday. Dr. Edwards (neurosurgeon) was satisfied with Luke's shunt and happy to see him making progress. Dr. Alcorn (opthamologist) was very happy with the positive difference the glasses have made in Luke's life and was estatic to hear that 1) he keeps them on and 2) he will wear his patch daily and for an average of 2 hours (back pats for mom and dad!) It was a nice trip up there with Grandma Carole and it was lovely to have two Luke-normal doctor reports. The breath-holding and dread of the past 1 1/2 years involving Stanford visits has turned more into routine and a good excuse to spend the day with Grandma. *knock on wood*

Since pictures are said to be worth a thousand words, I'll let them do just that. Here's what we've been up to the past week:


Uncle Brad had knee surgery recently but came over to visit Luke at Grandma's. Luke is very into turning pages lately so kicking back with a good book is always welcome.


Luke and Grandma at a pumpkin patch near Stanford (that's his unusual "pum pum" by Grandma's foot.)


Luke's way of telling mom that taking pictures of people eating is rude.


So I just take away his food! (Just kidding! He was pouting over not being allowed to play with his almost empty plate and fork.) Mean mom.


Luke carving his "pum pum" with Dad. Mom was responsible for keeping seeds out of his mouth.


The finished product.


"Boo!" (A favorite Luke word)


Comparing quanity of teeth with the pumpkin? Luke wins- barely.


Celebrating fall at school. Fake leaves = real fun.


Baby you can drive my car...


With a little help from my friend.


D.W.S.- Driving While Silly.


I didn't know monsters could drive?!

Luke does a monster noise/face that is a "must see." And the funniest part is it's all about YOUR reaction for him. Maybe we'll see another Dad-produced video on here soon?

Happy Halloween!

He always looks so freakin happy. He better not be finding new girlfriends at school. Bella and Matea would be crushed.

Thanks Beth for making it so easy to keep up with Luke's day-to-day growth and accomplishments. I use it at work to take a little break to see what's new. It also gives me a chance to share "My Favorite Subject" with people who come into my office. I wonder how many "hits" Luke's grandparents are responsible for on a daily basis?!? Thanks again, Sweetie!
