Pictures Taken By Emma

See how chairs are laying on the floor?? Luke likes to climb on chairs, get on the table, then climb to the kitchen counter where he goes straight to the fish bowl. If we don't leave those chairs on the floor I know I'll find our poor fish on the kitchen floor someday!!

Luke and his cousin, Benson.
