"Joe Cool," eat your heart out!! Who's the coolest cat now?

Whose toy is that?! I think there was a debate going on in their silent language!!

This video was one non-stop camera shot that was originally 13 or so minutes long but had to be edited for uploading. For my family: if you want the original video, email me and I'll send it along. For this version, I kept it as close to the original as I could despite cutting certain things that made the video shorter. Other than that, the music and sound effects were for fun.

Luke Climbing the Stairs for the first time

Hey, Dad! Can I drive the car?! I'm already driving a fire engine!!!!! I seem to be good at catching just the right moment. I was fast enough on the shutter button for the camera. He's not really driving, but the angle of the camera makes it look like he's really driving.

Hey, Dad! Let go! I wanna go to COLLEGE!!!!!!!!!!

GO AWAY!!!! Not in the mood for being very happy.

The sweet Easter family shot! They're all looking the wrong way, though!

Hey, Dad, is this an Easter egg??? Hunting Easter goodies.

LOOK WHAT I FOUND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Happily enjoying the spoils!

Are we more interested in books than trucks?? Looks like he is!

The frog in the lower right of the picture plays a tango and dances. Luke ADORES this little dancing frog of Auntie's! He was having a ball dancing to the music and grinning at it.

I LOVE EASTER!!!!!!!!!!!! The squeals of delight that go with being a kid.

Playing fetch with Cookie. She is so sweetly patient with him that it's truly adorable to watch the two playing. She's loved Luke the most from day 1!

Magna doodle art. He's been learning to draw with Grandma!

Is that something I can play with, Grandma? Having fun reaching for the camera as Grandma takes a picture.

Triple generation on Father's Day, 2008. Not too many families can boast a triple generation shot like this. All three of them had a lot of fun at the park that day.

Dad's shirt says: "Grandpa's to do list: 1. Load up grandkids on sugar 2. Send home"

I wanna swing, Grandma!!!

"...These are a few of my favorite things..."

Don't just stand there!!! PUSH ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He absolutely loves to swing!

Does this go here??? Are you suuuuuure I'm allowed to do this???

OH BOY!!!!!!! IT'S THE DADDY PONY!!!!!!!!!! Having fun messing around with Daddy.

Daddy's not much of a pony, he doesn't go! Why isn't Daddy going?

Are we dozing off? More likely just enjoying the story and Grandma's voice.

Daddy huuuuuuuuuuuuugs!!!!!!!!!! Daddy's famous bear hug!

Time for the Mommy pony. "Hey, Dad, where's the riding crop to make her go?"

Now, how do you ride this pony again? Trying to ride the Mommy pony.

The Mommy pony quit! "Darn! The Mommy pony collapsed!"

Run away, Darth Maul, flee Emperor Palpatine! There's a new Jedi in town!!!!

Let's see...clobber Mommy or attack sister.... decisions, decisions.....

This one's overdue: taken the night he was born. Pretty clear he's done a lot of growing since.
