Luke meets Harper

The Saturday morning, after we got back from Destin, our very good friends Claudia & Pat stopped by our house for a quick visit with baby Harper. Luke got out some baby toys just for her to play with while she was here and he couldn't wait to hold her. We really enjoyed our visit with them and were grateful that they squeezed us in on their busy visit to Dallas. Luke even cried when Harper left. Thanks guys...look forward to seeing you again soon.

Florida Vacation

We flew into Ft Walton and drove about an hour to Windy and Mike's beach house in the private Watersound community. The house is absolutely beautiful. There are boardwalks that take you out to the beach and there's a beachclub with a pool & restaurant near by. We never saw any tar balls or oil while we were there, so the beach was beautiful. Luke learned how to swim on this vacation and he was very proud of what he could do. Every single time he was about to swim, he'd say "Hey, you want to see what I do". The gang caught some Red Snapper, Mackeral, Amberjack & Grouper on their deep sea fishing trip, so we had fish for dinner a couple nights. They also got out their tennis rackets for a couple of tennis matches while we were there. After the beach we made out way to Andalusia Alabama for the Fleming Family Reunion.

Summer Fun

We started our summer out by spending every weekend at the lakehouse from the weekend before Memorial Day to the 4th of July. My parents were in Italy for 3 weeks and we were responsible for checking on the lakehouse while they were gone. We had a great time! We ventured over to the Bass Pro Shops in Rockwall and decided to give Primos a try. They have an outdoor patio overlooking the lake where all the boats dock. We ended up stopping there the next two weekends. We also had our good friends The Criswells out to the lake with us one weekend.

Welcome Baby Arianne

Arianne Nicolette Fadrowski was born on June 16th 2010 at 7lbs 14ozs 18in. Isn't she so cute! Drew and Arisbe are doing well as first time parents. We hear that Arianne is alot like Luke in the sense that she loves to be held and she loves listening the to noises outside. We are so excited for our first visit with Arianne!

Extreme Home Makeover

The Fleming House has been undergoing an Extreme Home Makover the past few weeks. Gone is the linoleum floor, fermica countertops and cheap tile backsplash..........Replaced with tile flooring, granite countertops and natural stone backsplash. Last addition will be new stainless appliances which we should arrive in a couple weeks.

Amanda and I are excited about the new look. We look forward to having everyone see it.
Special shoutout to Mike/Mitsy, Danny C and Stan.

Fishing

We did a little fishing the last 2 weekends at Fork. The weather hasn't fully cooperated this spring but we do have some success stories.

Luke caught this monster catfish off the dock on his Cars Lightning McQueen rod and reel (4-5lbs). We did find out Luke's not a big fan of catfish because they talk and sound a little scary. He also prefers to drive the boat rather than to fish. We'll have to work on that.

I caught this 6.71lb female, despite her attempts to wrap me around some timber. Secret bait not to be disclosed.

The Dallas Arboretum

We finally made our first trip out to the Dallas Arboretum last Saturday, Mar 27th. It is high season right now for tulips, so it was jam packed with people, but it didn't bother us any. We packed a picnic lunch and enjoyed it on the lawn, overlooking the lake, while listening to music. After that we checked out the Tee pee, wagon and little houses...Luke loved it!
