Catching Up and Moving On
I can’t tell you the number of blog posts I have written in my mind. I’ve probably had an idea a day. Today I realized, however, that it is time to start fresh and move on. I do, however, want to do just a tad bit of catching up first.
Luke never did come down with a virus after his trip the the ER for croup. We now think (without any official diagnosis) that Luke probably has asthma. A few days ago, he was wheezing pretty badly, and we gave him part of a dose of albuterol in the nebulizer. It took care of the wheezing. We plan to discuss all of this in detail at Luke’s 12-month checkup next month.
Progress on the house is really happening. I am trying not to panic about the fact that we will be moving in a month or two. One blessing is that we do not plan to put this house on the market until we are completely moved from it. Impromptu realtor showings and young children on a schedule do not mix well.
Okay, now for the “moving on” part of the post. Last night we had the second-ever Tyndall family photo shoot. We had one two years ago, but two family members have been added, so we thought we should do it again. Here is the large group shot.
Bottom row: Janice, Grant, Calder, Amy, Luke, Peggy, Lydia, Sierra, Laura, Cole, Diana, Ryan
We also took some pictures of Luke, hoping to get one good enough to blow up huge, like we did for Lydia when she turned one.
So, here it is:
We love the lighting, love the boy, but we’re not sure about the big metal bar on the picnic bench. What do you think? Blow it up, or try for another picture?
If we wait long enough, maybe he won’t need a picnic bench to help him stand. Check out this pre-walking he did for the first time today.
Yes, moving on.

I think the picture of Luke is pretty good with the picnic table.
Kymberly says:
My vote is try photoshopping out the metal bar with the rubber stamp tool. Easy with the grass continuous pattern. See how you like it that way. Cutie! Let us know what you decide!
Janet Saxon says:
Don’t you love that look of amazement of their face when they are learning something new? “He’s walking!” even Lydia is excited. Oh. and I go for the photo shopping idea above. The picture of Luke is perfect.
Mom says:
Everybody knows that Luke needs to hold onto something to stand up, so I think the picture is fine. Lydia’s picture had a chair or something in it.
Jane Carden says:
I LOVE the great photos! The family photo is exceptional - who was the photographer? And I love the old barn background! I also LOVE Luke’s photo, and I wouldn’t change a thing!
One more thing - the video of Luke ‘pre-walking’ is priceless! What a great idea to use the laundry basket to help him practice! Thank you so much for sharing!

Amy, remember the Bronchitis I had when I came to visit? We’ll I’ve developed wheezing from it really bad as well and had to get an inhaler yesterday. I wonder if he had part of what I had too.
