LUKE .....WE LOVE YOU!


I LOVED MY PERFECT CARD...NOTE AND PUMPKIN BALLOON FROM THIS SWEET BOY.  WHAT A TREASURE...LOVE YOU TOO!
HERE HE IS...HIKING WITH HIS FRIEND AND THINKING HE IS ALL GROWN UP...AND HE IS GROWING UP TO QUICKLY.....STOP IT!
FIRST SOCCER GAME EVER AND TEARING IT UP LIKE A PRO!
BLESSED TO HAVE HIS MOM FOR HIS COACH. IN ONE GAME THE OTHER TEAM DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH AND LUKE SCORED 11 GOALS AGAINST HIS TEAM.
OH HOW HE LOVE THE 24TH OF JULY IN BEAVER AND BEING WITH HIS COUSINS.  LIFE IS GOOD!
WHO NEED TOYS WHEN YOU HAVE A FLASHLIGHT....HE LOOKS SO LITTLE .
HE DOESN'T NEED TO ROLL WITH THE FLOW....HE SWINGS WITH IT AND HE IS USUALLY THE CENTER OF ATTENTION. LOOK AT THAT SMILE.
I CAN SEE MY SOCK IN THE BOTTOM OF THE PICTURE SO I THINK HE IS RUNNING TO ME....IF HE ISN'T......DON'T BURST MY BUBBLE.
I THINK HE THOUGHT GETTING SPRAYED BY THE FIRE ENGINE WOULD BE MORE FUN THAN IT WAS....LOVE THAT BOY!
THERE HE IS .....ALL DRESSED UP AND READY FOR HIS FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL.  HE WAS TIRED OF BEING HOME ALONE......HE LOVES IT!
OH...LOOK HOW LITTLE HE IS IN THIS PICTURE.  LOOK HOW LITTLE THEY ALL ARE. OH LUKE...YOU ARE GETTING SO OLD!
CHRISTMAS EVE AT GRADMA BEV'S AND NOT QUITE SURE TO THINK ABOUT SANTA....WHO IS THAT JOLLY OL FELLOW ANYWAY!
OH I THINK HE FOUND HIS FAVORITE SPOT....WITH BODEN.  HE IS SO HAPPY HE IS GOING THERE FOR THANKSGIVING.  IT HAS BEEN A LONG WAIT!
STOPPING TO GET A DRINK AT HALF TIME....GOTTA RUN!
HAPPY TO BE WITH OUR DEAR FRIEND AND HIS SCHOOL TEACHER!
THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE PICTURES OF LUKE.  I THINK HE LOOKS LIKE A LITTLE MISSIONARY...EXCEPT FOR THAT CUTE LITTLE SPIKE ON HIS HAIR.  LUKE IS SHANNON AND NATES ONLY CHILD THAT HAS GOTTEN AWAY WITH CLIMBING INTO BED WITH THEM, AND AT TIMES KICKING ONE OF THEM OUT.  HE IS DOING MUCH BETTER SINCE SCHOOL STARTED BUT UNTIL THEN....HE WOULD GET UP AT NIGHT AND WANDER INTO ONE OF THE OTHER KID'S BEDROOMS AND GO TO SLEEP.  FOR A WHILE THEY DIDN'T KNOW  WHICH ROOM HE WOULD WAKE UP IN.....BUT IT WAS USUALLY WITH A NICE SNUGGLE THAT WOULD WIN ANY HEART OVER.
DURING CONFERENCE HE EVEN SNUGGLED WITH GRANDPY.  WE LOVE THAT AND WE WILL BE SO SAD WHEN IT ENDS.
HE LIKES TO TELL US ABOUT ALL OF THE NEW THINGS HE IS LEARNING.  HE TELLS US ABOUT STORIES HE HAS READ.  WE LOVE IT BECAUSE HE OPENS UP AND WE KNOW WHAT HE IS THINKING.  
HE HAS A TENDER HEART AND THINKS THINGS THOUGH DEEPLY FOR ONE SO YOUNG.  IT HAS BEEN HARD FOR ALL OF US TO SEE HIM GETTING OLDER, BECAUSE HE IS THE BABY OF THE FAMILY.
LIKE TOMMY....I THINK HE OFTEN FEELS LIKE HE IS GIRL TRAPPED, BUT TOMMY ROUGH HOUSES WITH HIM SO MUCH THAT I THING HE HAS BEEN SUFFICIENTLY MADE INTO A TOUGH LITTLE BOY.  STILL, I LOVE THAT  TENDER HEART THAT SEEMS TO TALK TO ME THROUGH HIS BIG BROWN EYES.  THOSE EYES CAN SAY A MULTITUDE OF THINGS.
HE LOVES IT WHEN GRANDPY COMES AND ALL OF THE KIDS ARE DOING OTHER THINGS SO HE CAN BE OUTSIDE WITH HIM AND HAVE HIS FULL ATTENTION.  I THINK GRANDPY LOVES IT THE MOST THOUGH.
WE KNOW THAT LUKE WAS SUPPOSE TO COME TO SHANNON AND NATE'S FAMILY AND HE COMPLETED THEIR FAMILY.  HOW BLESSED WE ARE TO HAVE HIM.  WE LOVE YOU OUR SWEET LUKE....WE KNOW YOU HAVE A SPECIAL CONNECTION TO BEN...2 LITTLE MISSIONARIES.  WE HOPE YOUR BIRTHDAY IS EVEYTHING YOU HOPE IT TO BE....LOVE...LOVE...LOVE YOU!
