Great Christmas!!

We had a great Christmas!!! So sad that it is already over. Looking forward to hopefully going up to play in the snow this weekend though:) Enjoy the pics!

Merry Christmas!

This week Luke had his school program. It was a really cute program called "The Little Snowflake." Basically the message was all snowflakes are special...quite the appropriate message for his class:) So Luke, in true Luke form was trying to be the program clown. He was quite amusing to watch at times. Here are some of his crazy antics: shining the flashlight in the eyes of those next to him when he was supposed to be shining it up, moving the parachute up and down really fast so all the snow would fall on him, and at the end deciding it would be cute to use the bird! Luckily, he did not do that yesterday when they performed for the school. As I watched him though, I couldn't help but be amazed at how much he used his left hand, and how far he has come there. Here are some pics of the program:

He did really good with this song carrying out the motions..above he is doing love.

Then here are some overdue pictures from Luke's bowling in the Special Olympics tournament. He has been lucky at school because about every other Friday he was been able to go bowling. He loved it too!

With his medal after the tournament.

I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas. Remember it is not about the gifts we open or the jolly man in the red suit. It is about a baby born in a manager for us. Because of Him I know that even if it never happens on Earth, someday my son will be healed in Heaven! Thank you again SO much for following Luke's journey this year!

On the Move!

Time for a funny Luke story! This weekend my in-laws were in town to visit. They had left to do some shopping and Mike and Lynsey were gone to softball practice, so the house was pretty quiet! I went out front to take their dog to the bathroom, I turned and looked at the front door and there was Luke! He had scooted from our family room and was making his escape out the front door. I brought him back into the family room, and went into the kitchen to put away dishes. I heard the garage door open and walked to see who was there. Well....it was Luke!! He was sitting there opening the garage door. I asked him if he was trying to run away, and he just laughed. I brought him back once again to watch TV in the family room, the next thing I hear is paper ripping. He had made it to the tree and was opening gifts. Little stinker! So, I brought him back to the TV, and told him to sit still until I was finished. Never thought that would be something I would be telling him:) We always like to see him wanting to get somewhere though, so not complaining one bit!

The craziness of the holidays has begun, now if the weather would just cool down a bit. This week Luke's class has a Christmas program at school, so hopefully I will have some pics to post of that. Thanks for checking in:)
