Luke is our second and middle child. Ahhh, the poor dreaded middle child syndrome...Just joking!!! He was born on March 26th, 1999. He was such a cute and VERY chubby baby. He was a very happy baby as well. Always smiling and laughing. He had this belly laugh early in his first year of life that had us in stitches!
Luke is now almost 8, and in the second grade. He has always been a very active, very energetic, very busy boy. He's what you would call a real boy. He always has to be moving and/or talking. He loves sports of all kinds and is very athletically inclined. He can sure run fast during Sparks gametime! He loves playing basketball with his cousin Drew, is the only child that rides a dirt bike like Dad, and just generally likes to be outdoors. The funny thing is, although he is so busy-busy, and the first one to wrestle his brother to the ground, he is also very cautious. Unlike Austin who will just go gung-ho after something with no reservation whatsoever, Luke proceeds with caution. I don't quite get it!!!! We literally had to drag him on Goliath at Magic Mountain last year kicking and screaming, and after it was over, he kept asking to go again....and again and again. He just has to be convinced!
Other interests of Luke's are playing video games, especially Halo with Drew, playing with Star Wars action figures, having Light Saber fights, swimming, biking, and anything of the masculine sort. He also likes to bother his brothers!!!! And he sure is good at it. However, I think Luke has the softest heart of all my boys. He doesn't hide any of his sinfulness or try to be deceitful, he just comes right out and does it! This has opened up the opportunity for us to really train him in the way he should go, and we are beginning to see the fruitfulness of all the discipline and hard work! God is gracious!
Well, Luke is definitely the spice of my life, and I am so thankful God has given him to us. I anticipate with joy what the future holds for him!
