Sibling non-rivalry.

These two are really getting along.

Allie will look at him and laugh.

Or, she'll say, "Loo-key, Loo-key, Loo-key!"

Luke will look at Allie and smile.

Or, he'll flex his eyebrows and study whatever she's doing.

Best of all, when she makes an impression him, he breaks out into a huge smile, belts out a squeak, and his whole body shakes.

She has the same effect on her dad too.

Life with Allie...

How could you not love her?

She runs and jumps into my arms and says, "Daddy, Daddy, Daddy."

Lately, she has coined a new-word that will stick with our family forever. When a person agrees with an idea, they might say, "O-kay."

When Allie Underwood isn't very interested in your idea, she now says, "No-kay."

Sorry, but that is too awesome.

Daddy.

Then again, being a Dad is quite a privilege.

I guess I've never experienced anything remotely like it.

I love this picture because I love this girl. It scares me and inspires me to think about how much influence I have in her life.

I boggles my mind to think that God loves me so much more than I love Allie. He's the Ultimate Daddy.

Cute on Easter...

Allie and Luke in their Easter outfits. We had a terrific day at church, and God provided two amazing rainbows in the sky that morning. Grandma and Grandpa Underwood were in town to celebrate Easter and hang out with the kids while our church somehow pulled off three worship services on Sunday. It was truly an awesome day!
