Ever wonder why I take the time to write blog posts to Lucas? All the years of hard work have now successfully turned into books for him! I’m so proud to have these done before baby girl gets here. All the memories and photos are organized by year. Hopefully I […]

Lukie Walter, You are such a cool little boy, Daddy and I talk all the time about how we can’t believe you are ours.  We love getting to do fun stuff with you, and to see the enjoyment you get out of it.   You really love any new activities, […]

Dear Lucas, September was a busy and exciting month for you.  First, we found out you were going to have a baby SISTER!  You had been telling us the whole time it was a baby girl.  I’m so glad you were right!  We are so so so excited, and you […]

Hi Baby Girl, We have decided on your name….. Are you ready for it? You are: Emelyn Catherine Atkinson! I know most people have not heard the name Emelyn, pronounced “EmmaLynn” but we think it is beautiful. Lucas is already calling you “Emme” as a nickname (well, he pronounces it […]

PicMonkey Collage GIRL- 1
Ohhhh the anticipation of finding out if you were a boy or girl.  We anxiously and impatiently waited for the day to come when we would find out.  For weeks I had been feeling you kick and flip in my belly (SO amazing!).  I love to know you’re in there.  […]

This month was SO busy!! I’m a whole month late writing this because so much happened, it’s hard to even wrap my brain around writing it!  I’ll start with the basics.  First off, the Easter bunny came to visit!!  That nice bunny came early because he knew we would be […]

Hey my little Lucas Walter, I guess you’re really not that little anymore.  You’re about 34 inches tall when we lay you down on the ground to measure you like the Dr’s office does (which strangely enough makes you appear taller than if you were measured up against a wall […]

Hey baby, The first thing that comes to my mind about February is Valentines Day.  You and your sweetheart, Rylie, got all dressed up and recreated the scene from last year.  You two were SO sweet kissing each other.    I love celebrating holidays so much!  They give us a […]

Dear Little Lucas Walter, It’s time again for your monthly recap (well actually I’m a month late due to technical difficulties).  Regardless, it was a fun month!  First of all, your Poppy was able to come home from Australia to visit for a week in early December!  He brought you […]
