LUKE....HE'S NOT TOMMY JR.

HE DOESN'T GIVE US THAT SMILE WHEN GRANDPY CALLS HIM TOMMY.  HE TELLS GRANDPY HIS NAME IS NOT TOMMY!

HE LOVES HIS SIBLINGS AND LOVES TO BE WITH THEM.  WE DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT GETTING HIS PICTURE AS LONG AS ONE OF THE OTHER KIDDOS IS WITH HIM!
 

I LOVE THIS PICTURE.  IT TRULY SHOWS THEIR PERSONALITIES.  LUKE IS HAPPIEST WHEN HE IS SURROUNDED BY THEM!!

SHANNON SENT ME THIS PICTURE A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO AND SHE TITLED IT BEST. "A BOY AND HIS DOG."........PERFECT PICTURE.

HE HAS REALLY GOTTEN AGGRESSIVE IN SOCCER AND WE LOVE TO WATCH HIM . WHEN HE FIRST STARTED HE WASN'T THAT INTERESTED BUT HE'S RUNNING NOW!

HE IS MORE MILD MANNERED THAN THEIR OTHER KIDS SO IT'S AMAZING HOW PHYSICAL HE IS IN SOCCER.  HE LIKES TO SIT BY HIS MOM AND CUDDLE TO HER. OH I WOULD GIVE ANYTHING IF HE WOULD DO THAT WITH ME.  HE DOES ONCE IN A WHILE BUT MOST OF THE TIME IT'S JUST HIS MOM.

HE IS GETTING SO HE LIKES TO PLAY WITH HIS BUDDIES FROM THEIR WARD AND NEIGHBORHOOD. HE ALSO PLAYS WITH THE GROUP OF KIDS THAT KARLIE AND MADELYN PLAY WITH AT THE SOCCER GAMES.  IT SEEMS THAT HE HAS GROWN UP IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE.  HE DOESN'T LIKE TO DO HIS CHORES, BUT HE IS PRETTY GOOD ABOUT FINISHING THEM.  HE HAS A SPECIAL WAY OF ASKING (NOT DEMANDING) THINGS THAT MAKES IT NEARLY IMPOSSSIBLE TO SAY NO.  IT RARELY....RARELY....HAPPENS BUT IT MAKES HIM SO HAPPY IF WE CAN BRING CHICKEN LEGS FROM KENTUCKY FROM KENTUCKY FRIED CHICKEN.  THAT IS HIS FAVORITE FOOD.

HE HAS BEAUTIFUL EYES AND THE LONGEST EYELASHES.  THOSE EYES MELT MY HEART.  IT NEVER CEASES TO AMAZE ME AT THE LOVE I HAVE FOR EACH GRANDCHILD.  I HAVE A LOT OF LOVE....MY HEART CONTINUES TO GROW AS I LOVE EACH ON MORE...OH HOW I LOVE YOU TO THE MOON MY SWEET LUKE.  I HOPE YOUR BIRTHDAY IS MAGICAL AND FILLED WITH MORE HAPPINESS THAN YOU CAN IMAGINE!
