The next morning I was much more cheery and I ran around and played with Kaiden and Maeghan all morning. After my nap Daddy and I went out to Grandpa Bill and Grandma Ann's house while Mommy went to have cheesecake with Great-Grandma Dorothy. Grandpa Bill and Grandma Ann came over to Grandpa Bob and Grandma Kris' house for Christmas Eve dinner and we all played after dinner. Here's a pic of Grandma Ann and I doing a little fishing.
Before bed Kaiden and Maeghan helped me spread out some food for Santa's reindeer. I made the food at school the week before Christmas.
Christmas morning!!! We had cinnamon rolls for breakfast and then we opened our stockings. Santa brought me a spongebob toothbrush!!
Next we headed downstairs to open all of our presents. I'm not an expert yet, but I'm learning how to open my own presents.
After Kaiden, Maeghan, and I opened all of our presents Daddy, Mommy, and I went to see Great-Grandma Dorothy.
Then it was time for Christmas number two out at Grandpa Bill and Grandma Ann's house with Uncle Jason. We also had Christmas dinner with everyone at Grandpa Bill and Grandma Ann's house.
On Friday we went to see Great-Grandpa & Great-Grandma Scott. We went inside to get caught up and Grandma got a bunch of tractors out for me to play with, only the green ones though, we don't play with red tractors. Then Grandpa got out the sleds so we could do a little sledding. The snow was a little too deep, but I had fun when Daddy pulled Mommy and I around the icy driveway. Here are a few pics from our visit.
Friday night I stayed home with Grandpa Bob and Grandma Kris while Daddy, Mommy, and Uncle Scottie went out for a few drinks. We just hung around the house Saturday until Mommy and Daddy left to go to Cedar Rapids for Kenley Ray Unruh's baptism. Her parents (Jessica and Jason) are my Godparents and now my parents are her Godparents.
Everyone gathered at Grandpa Bob and Grandma Kris' house to see us off Sunday morning. Here are a few pics of me saying my goodbyes. Then we headed back to Michigan. To make up for the crappy drive to Iowa, we had the best drive we have ever had on our way home. It was fast and I behaved most of the way.
January 7th was my appointment at The University of Michigan. I am happy to report that I am 34 and a half inches tall and I weighed in at 26 lbs and 7 oz. Everything went well and Dr. Arteta says I look great. Two big new things happened at the appointment. The first was a new medication called hypertonic saline. It is basically salt water for my lungs. I'm going to start using it in my nebulizer tomorrow night. The second piece of big news is that we have ordered a vest to aide in my chest percussion. I'll get pics of that up when it arrives. Mommy and Daddy are excited too because they won't have to pound on me anymore.
That's all for now, take care everyone.
Love,
Luke William

Well Luke
I don't blame you for getting pissy for that long ride. Seth doesn't even like 1 hour so you are way braver than him. The pictures look like fun sounds like the trip was worth it.
Thanks for all the updates. Good luck with that new vest. I have a distant cousin in Tennessee that is a RT that uses those vests and he tells my aunt they really help and saves your parents some work.
Tell your mom I said hi because I haven't seen her in a while but think of you guys a lot.

It sure was fun going fishing with you. And we didn't even have to mess with those slimy worms. You are going to be 3 feet tall soon. How cool is that? Good luck with the vest. I hope they chose a color that looks good on you. Love, Grandma Ann
Love your updates, Luke, & all the pics!! We also loved getting your Christmas card with the pictures of you, Mom & Dad. You are really getting big & such a charmer!! Sorry your trip back to Iowa for Christmas was such a hassle, but it looks like you had a great time & lots of fun with your cousins & all your Grandpas & Grandmas. Take care & stay warm in this cold winter! Hugs, Vi :)
