Here are a few snapshots my dad (Panda) took at Luke's little birthday party on April 4th. The weather could not have cooperated better (rare in April in SLO!) and Luke had a wonderfully exhausting time.
Getting goodies from Great-Great Aunt Jay while sitting with our neighbor, Nan.
Christina, Amber, Kelci and Luke. Always the ladies man.
Kelci (aka "Better Mama") and Luke.
What Mommy and Aunt Sarah were up to until late the night before...
Nothing like a cold beer at 11am.
Mr. Carter Nash Davis.
Apparently Matea was not interested in a photo shoot. Either that or she was trapped in the swing.
Lunching with Nan, Grandma Chrissy and Aunt Julie. That's his "hot food" face.
A little light blowing on the candles. He'll get it next year!
Luke and his best buddy/babysitter Manya (currently pronounced "Mongus" by Luke.)
Auntie Aly, Nate and Dana brought Luke a "real" cell phone!
Luke's people.
Thanks for getting some great pictures, Panda! Look forward to doing it all over again (perhaps expanding Luke's celebration to a whole month?!) next year!
Wow, you were right. Tatey looks totally pissed off. I'm so proud that my little lady is mastering her death glare at a young age. Did Panda photoshop my hair color? I swear it's not that red in real life and certainly not redder than Amber's, is it? Maybe he was trying out different makeover looks on me, trying to determine how I would look cutest? Yes, I'm sure that's it. Ask him to photoshop off 20 pounds for me and remove one chin please.
The Henard Family (Central Coast Chapter) currently consists of Matt (dad), Beth (mom), Luke (son) and Lola and Rocco (dogs). Matt and I have lived in San Luis Obispo since the mid-nineties with the dogs joining us shortly after our September 2002 wedding and Luke in March 2007. We're expecting baby #2 in late February 2011. Luke's birth in 2007 as was almost as traumatic as it was glorious. Arriving 8 weeks early, he inexplicably suffered a bleed in his brain while I was pregnant (necessitating the early delivery) which forever changed his life. He suffers from cerebral palsy and very poor vision (what he can and can't see remains a mystery) in addition to needing a shunt in his brain to manage his hydrocephalus (Google it.) But what started out as unimaginable obstacles for our little fighter have become mere bumps in the road- Luke has definitely exceeded any and all expectations! Today Luke is a happy, healthy preschooler with a passion for baseball, large vehicles and talking family/friends/strangers' ears off! He's EXACTLY the good natured little guy he was always meant to be! This blog started out as "The Life of Luke" BUT it's not just Luke's life anymore (not that he's really aware of this... yet!) Since a little sister is on the way, we want to share the fabulous (and sometimes not-so-fabulous) moments of both the kids! I'll work hard to keep this updated (I'm thinking more pictures/videos, less text then before) but bear with me if there's a lull- I'm a busy mom and Luke LOVES to type and "send emails" making computer time often a struggle. However, I know our far away family and friends enjoy the updates so... Enjoy!
