two wheeled love

we are equally amazed and proud that wee luca is riding a pedal bike (his bday present from aaron).  the kid is a natural.

fish-n-chips and turning three

luca just had his well child check up for turning a big boy 3.  he was so amazing at the doctor's office!  he answered questions, and charmed the staff, and rolled up his sleeve  bravely for a shot.  he winced a little, and a slight tear, but he was apparently the bravest boy the nurse had ever seen.  and according to this sweet nurse, luca made her day.  everything was great with his check up ...he's tracking along as a tall and thin kid (90th percentile for height, but only 20th for weight!).  i swear he eats a ton, so i don't know where it goes!

some holiday fun

our team volunteered at the downtown holiday carousel, with all proceeds going to help western washington foster families.  it was a fabulous way to feel festive, and warm and fuzzy about being good community members.  aaron ended up doing all the work for the erbecks, while the kids begged me to take them on the carousel over and over and over and over and over. 

luca at school

luca's preschool has grown in size, he has more friends to spend his day with.  they all look pretty happy!
