Belmont Abbey Reunion

Beautiful bride!
 So many thanks to Amy Marcum O'Brien for getting married and brining us all back together again.  It's been WAY too long.  It was great to see everyone and I was SUPER excited Michele, Sara and Andrew were able to meet the Babies of Luehrs Land!
Greyson, Mommy apologizes...I promise you have pink pants with a TuTu on even though you kinda look like a boy in this picture.  You're a pretty boy though!


Oh girls, I wish you lived closer so you could see these babies grow! They would love you as much as I do!

4 Legs in Luehrs Land

Here's our pretty girl Sterling perched in her favorite spot on the stairs.  She's overseeing everything from here - she can see outside and keep an eye on the kids down below.  Ol' Ster has a Dr. appointment tomorrow to check out her rear leg - she's favoring it and trying her best not to put any pressure.  Hoping it's something minor - will keep you posted. She's too pretty to be limping!!

Little Drummer Boy

Taiten got these drums from his Aunt Colleen, Uncle Alan and his girlie-girl blonde cousins 2 Christmases ago.  We have a lot of fun "playing songs" or "sing songs" as Taiten says.  Check out his skills below.

Evening in the Luehrs Land

Evenings in the Land of Luehrs is usually a bit busy crazy...pick up from school, cook dinner, eat dinner...throw dinner everywhere, clean up from dinner, tub to wash off the dinner that didn't end up on the floor or in their mouths, play/sing songs (check back in a few days for that post!), brush teeth, read devotion and pray, yell out for mommy and daddy to STAY or come back etc. etc....sleep!

It's a whirlwind, but I wouldn't have it any other way.  Check out the pics below from tub and teeth brush.  I usually have to beg T to take a tub - and then once he's in, beg him to get out.  But both T+G LOVE LOVE LOVE to brush their teeth, no begging here (except from them to be able to do it)!

The Count

We found out a few weeks ago that Taiten could count to 15 (we overheard him when playing)!  For a few days it was his little secret and he wouldn't count out loud for us when we asked.  Finally he was ready to perform! Here's a few of his performances caught on tape.

Greyson is moving up!

Today was Greyson's 1st official day in her new classroom at school.  I think everything considered, I handled it VERY well (not a single tear from either of us!). 
BIG GIRL!

Snow Day in Luehrs Land!

I have been waiting for the kids to be able to wear their snowflake sweaters...Mother Nature wanted them to wear them too! We had fun this morning playing in the snow - Look at all the Snow Pics here!

Week 1 - 2011

This week in Luehrs Land flew by! It was tough to head back to work on Monday after having a 3 day weekend with my babies, but I powered thru and made it another week.

I have officially stopped pumping at work (Lil G nurses in the morning and evening) so it was very strange to walk in with just a purse...no big pump bag...no cooler.  I thought I would be more excited about this - but let's be honest, it just means my baby is growing up way too fast!

Greyson had a big week at school.  She had her first 'at school' sippy cup and we also received her Moving Up papers - she will start transitioning next week to her new class.  Lil G did get an "uhh ohh, she was pulling up on something and fell and hit her poor little head.  Just a day in the life of a mobile baby girl - maybe Taiten will share one of his helmets with her?

Taiten was super in to Christmas this year so we have slowly been putting things away.  We finally packed up the inflatable Santa and most of the Christmas decorations this week - however, we have left some items because T is obsessed with them!  We might be those people that leave some things up year round!
all the bread that's left...crazy!

This weekend brought lots of fun times too.  T+G went on a trip to HT with their daddy (brave man to go solo) and we went to the Hodges for dinner.  Taiten was excited to go to WHOOOKS (Luke).  Sunday we lounged around and slept in until 8 (amazing!).  Greyson and I ran out to Target for a little girl shopping time.  We passed by the food section and I wanted to share with you...THE BLIZZARD OF 2011 effects. Check back over the next few days to see if we have any snow pictures.  That is IF we have power (they are calling for 3-5 inches and some ice too). **Smile**

Greyson is 10 Months Old!

Happy 10 monthery Miss Greyson! I know we say this every month, but we can't believe you are this old already! You had a busy month little lady.  You learned to crawl (forward finally), pull up on things, blow kisses, play peek-a-boo, clap and so many other fun firsts!  You weigh in at a perfect 19lbs and LOVE to eat (you want to eat everything your brother has - and have even snuck a few pancakes and bites of mac and cheese!) You are doing great drinking out of a sippy cup (but still nurse twice a day and have 3 bottles in between). You love, love, love your brother and get super excited each time you see him (the feeling is mutual). You have 4 teeth all the way in with 3 others on there way.  You still suck your thumb and cuddle your 'lovie' any chance you get, and right now it's the cutest thing in the world!

We love you baby girl and are so excited that you are with us.  Looking forward to all the months ahead.

Little Shopper

Greyson rode in a shopping cart like a BIG GIRL for the first time!  She did great and really liked being able to look around.

Happy New Year!

A new year...a new blog!  Welcome to "Luehrs Land", we hope to keep you all updated on the happenings here and keep you in the loop as our babies grow right before our eyes!

Quick 2010 in review:
It's been amazing and fun to watch Taiten's mind grow as he learns so many new things.  He's talking more and more every day and the new things he says keep us on our toes!  He knows his alphabet and has recently taken up singing (twinkle twinkle little star is his most requested number). Taiten is a better Big Brother than we could have ever hoped.  He has LOVED Greyson from the second they met.  Taiten is SUPER in to sports (Golf, Baseball, Basketball, Horse Racing - that's a sport right?) and has amazing athletic abilities at such a young age (says his MOM).  We are currently working on potty training, he's taken to the whole process very well, however, we're looking forward the end of the "training" part.  Our favorite Taiten moment of 2010 has got to be when he learned to say I LOVE YOU...no real words can express that feeling!

Little Greyson Becca Luehrs.  Born March 3, 2010.  She's amazing - we are truly blessed. She's hit all those first 9 month milestones...the smiling, rolling over, sitting up, crawling, teeth (all 4 of them...and 2 more coming any minute now), talking...could go on and on.  She's a pretty little girl who brings great big smiles to all of our faces.  Her most recent accomplishments are playing peek-a-boo, blowing kisses and signing and saying "more" (she does that a lot because she really likes to eat!).  The favorite Greyson moment of 2010 is a hard one as everything she did was the first time and so amazing - we're going to go with her saying Mama and Dada though - can't beat it!

Miss Sterling is hanging in there...she loves T+G and is so good with them - but we all know she misses the days when she was our only baby.  She's still as pretty as ever (even if she is getting grey)!  Our favorite Sterling moment of 2010 is hands down Halloween.  This amazing animal let me dress her up as a race horse and Taiten (the jockey) actually rode her during a costumer parade! She's so good!

We can't wait to tell you more of the "moments" in the Luehrs Land in 2011...keep checking back
