We had a great week at the Wilkerson home.  Here's the scoop on what's going on:

Luke-  Luke learned to sit up on his own this week!  Jared and I somehow miss the transition between his army crawl and his sitting position every time.  We'll look at the tv for a second or leave the room for just a moment and come back to find him sitting.  The only bad side is that he can't get from the sitting position back to crawling position as well.  He fell pretty hard yesterday and hit his head.  I had left the room for about 10 seconds when he fell.  I felt really, really bad.  Luke also made a new best friend.  His name is Samuel, and he's the son of Jared's and my friends Nora and Samuel.  They crawl all over each other, steal binkies, and poke each other in the eyes, laughing the entire time.  Luke saw the beach for the first time this week- he was scared of the water.  I'm typing this with Luke on my lap, and he wants a turn.  Here it is, Luke's message to all y'all:                                              iunjjujujujupllll                   tm,,,

Jared-  Jared found a bike trail finally!  Actually, he found the trail a week or two ago, but he has gone everyday this week.  He says it's the best trail he's ever been on.  It has a lot of jumps and tricks.  Well, I'll let him explain it.  Jared also went to the library at the law school to study one day (don't worry.  he didn't just study one day.  he studies EVERY day but usually in his office at home)  He finally met some of the other guys going to law school.  Jared borrowed the Office season 1 and 2 from friends and has found a new favorite show!  He is in avid anticipation waiting for Jim and Pam to hook up.  

Stacy-  I started Breaking Dawn- the fouth book in the Twilight series.  Not as good as the first three in my opinion, but I'm hooked all the same.  What can say?  I have to finish it, yack about with other people, and gossip about someone else's love life because my love life is great but lacking drama.  I'm not quite done, so no one spill the beans about the ending.  Actually, last Friday I went to the release party for the book with my friend Leslie that lives right downstairs, and I met some really fun girls whose husbands are also going to law school.  I invited everybody over for chili and swimming the next day.  It was really fun.  We got to get to know two new great families better: the Harrison, Adam and Nora and their son Samuel, and the Crawfords, Kelly and Chris and their sons Sam and Liam.  Since Saturday, I've hung out with Nora almost every day.  We went to Colonial Williamsburg to walk around and have a picnic, and she came with me on Thursday night to call Bingo at the retirement/ nursing home where I volunteer.  It's been so fun!  We also met a new couple, the Leavitts at church on Sunday.  Tristan is starting law school next week with Jared, and his wife Brittany is really fun.  They have a son named Benson.  We had them over for dinner on Sunday and went to Virginia beach with them on Wednesday.  Brittany sells Mary Kay and is finishing up some requirements to become a director.  She needed 12 people to try a product by tonight.  She didn't really know anybody, so I hosted a Mary Kay party last night.  It was so much fun.  We ate and did incredibly girly stuff.  Jared hid in his office.  Also, I started a more rigorous exercise and diet program really determined to get this baby belly off.  I went swimming yesterday and did 70 laps in our apartment pool.  That's the most I've ever done and it felt great.

We miss everybody and hope you had a great week.  Gotta go-- we're going hiking with the Harrisons today!
