Welcome and Merry Christmas!

Welcome and Merry Christmas to any new blog readers! I started this blog almost two years ago as a way for me to keep my out of town Sister and Dad in the loop. You are welcome to go thru and read from the beginning or just look at the pictures. They are my favorite part but, if you do not have time or suffer from insomnia then let me catch you up.

Alexander Warren

Alex is now 7 1/2 years old and in second grade. He is so much like his father it is crazy but has his own personality coming thru more every day. Alex is incredibly smart (not a vain mother moment, it is just numbers) and is either 1 or 2 grade levels above his class. With this intelligence comes a bit of social awkwardness and so we are working on things like tact and common sense which I am not sure is something you can teach. Alex is very sweet and may have already found the love of his life, which with a boy like Alex I can actually believe it. Alexis is the perfect girl next door (well 3 doors down) and is as smart as Alex only not awkward which is perfect. She makes him a little crazy and not nearly as serious as he can be. Sounds impossible but they have been "together" for 3 years which we celebrate every Halloween!

The only thing Alex might love more than Alexis is baseball and computers!
He has proudly played on the T-ball A's and the Cubs for the past 2 years and is really looking forward to joining the real baseball farm league next year. So far he plays every position but he is going to end up in field and thinks pitching is cool.
Alex's favorite color is green, food is ice cream, animal is polar bear and he loves to ride his scooter.

Lukas Wayne
Lukas is now 6 years old and in 1st grade. He too is at the top of his class even though he should really be in kindergarten. He loves Math, Science, Art and to learn about different places and languages. Lukas is so much like my sister Valerie it shocks me some days. He is funny and sweet but certainly has his moments. He is very interested in knights and castles thanks to his best friend of 3 years, Logan. They are certainly 2 peas in a pod when they get together! He also plays baseball with Alex and was asked to play on the same team next year but he loves soccer too. Lukas & Alex love to go camping with Mamo and Pappy. Lukas is happy just sitting on a rock fishing even though he has never caught anything. He says he loves nature and animals so exploring in the woods is perfect for him. He loves anything to do with penguins, his favorite color is red, food is fish sticks (no, not kidding) and he also loves his scooter.
My Colorado native boys somehow got some of their Cali mothers love of the ocean. They both are perfectly at home in San Diego and in the sand when we go to visit Aunt Valerie.
And of course... It's all about Alex and Lukas
