T.W.O............TOO SOON!

THIS FUNNY BOY DOES NOT LIKE BEING IN HIS CAR SEAT WITH THE EXCEPTION OF WHEN "SIGNING TIME" ....THE VIDEO IS IN THE DVD PLAYER.  IT IS CUTE!  IF THEY ARE LEAVING TOWN, HE STARTS TO SAY....."SIGNING TIME".  HE LOVES IT!

A PICTURE OF NATE AND LUKE CHILLING ON THE COUCH ON CHRISTMAS 2 YEARS AGO.  WOW.  I CAN'T BELIEVE IT HAS BEEN THAT LONG.

THIS IS A RECENT PICTURE, AND MY FAVORITE.  I THINK IT IS WHAT HIS EXPRESSION LOOKS LIKE WHEN HE IS HAPPY!

GRANDPY SEEMS TO BE LUKE'S FAVORITE PERSON AND I KNOW IT IS BECAUSE HE TAKES HIM OUTSIDE ALL THE TIME.  WHEN WE GO TO THEIR HOUSE....WITHIN MINUTES SHAD AND LUKE ARE OUTSIDE.   THAT IS WHERE THEY BOTH LIKE TO BE.

LUKE AS SPENT A LOT OF TIME AT PARKS WHILE THE OLDER KIDS ARE PLAYING SOCCER OR FOOTBALL.  I USED TO BE AFRAID WHEN HE CLIMBED THE LADDER HIMSELF TO GO DOWN THE SLIDE BUT HE HAS CLEARLY BEEN SEASONED TO DO THAT WITHOUT HELP.  IT HE SEES US WATCHING, HE WANTS US TO COME AND SEE HIM DO EVERYTHING, BUT IF HE DOESN'T NOTICE US, HE WILL PLAY THERE WITH MADELYN AND KARLIE FOR A LONG TIME.
I THINK IT WILL BE HARD ON HIM....AS IT IS STARTING TO GET COLD...TO NOT BE ABLE TO BE OUTSIDE AS MUCH.
HE DOES LIKE TO PLAY WITH HIS TRUCKS, FARM ANIMALS, AND TOOLS INSIDE.  IT HAS BEEN FUN TO WATCH AS HE LOOKS AT ALL THE CONSTRUCTION THAT IS GOING ON AT THEIR HOUSE AND WANTS TO COPY ALL OF THE THINGS HE IS SEEING.  WHEN THE WORKERS ARE NOT THERE, HE LOVES TO RUN IN THE BIG OPEN SPACES AND RUN INTO THE NEW ROOMS LIKE THEY ARE HIS OWN PRIVATE TERRITORY.
BECAUSE THEY ARE IN SUCH A MESS...THEY ARE NOT REALLY ABLE TO DO MUCH OF A CELEBRATION FOR HIM, SO WE WON'T SEE HIM TODAY.
WE HOPE THEY WILL FACETIME WITH US DURING THE DAY SOMETIME.
HE LOVES TO BE WITH US AND WHEN THEY DO THAT THEY REALLY ATTACH THEMSELVES TO US AND WE HATE TO BE AWAY.
LUKE....WE HOPE YOU WILL KNOW TODAY AND ALWAYS HOW MUCH WE LOVE YOU AND HOW IMPORTANT YOU ARE IN OUR LIVES.  YOU MAKE US SMILE AND FEEL LOVED.  YOU MAKE US LAUGH AT THE CUTE THINGS YOU DO AND SAY.  WE ARE SO THANKFUL TO HAVE YOU IN OUR FAMILY AND WE LOVE YOU FOREVER AND EVER AND EVER!!!!!
