luke is 9

it's hard to believe that luke is half-way finished with childhood.  9 more years and he heads off to college--sure hope that the next nine years don't go as fast as the first nine.  something tells me that time is not going to slow down--so for now we just have to enjoy each day we have. luke's birthday was a simple celebration--after church we had lunch with grandpa, grandma and uncle brett. we had subway!  funny.  that is what luke requested--that sure made it easy on mom!  after opening presents the boys enjoyed unlimited wii play with luke's new games. then, off to his friend's  birthday party for the evening.

God has blessed luke in so many ways--he is a great big brother, responsible and helpful. he is healthy and happy and loves to be with others. he is a great gift to our family.  we love you, luke!
