Happy Birthday Luke!

Today is my sweet Luke's third birthday! Aside from being sick and having to go to the doctor's this morning, he had a pretty good day. Tonight we had a family party and he got to open tons of presents and play with all of his grandparents and uncles. It was so nice to see him having fun after he had been so miserable this morning.

This next little snippet is something that happened this evening that I hope I will always remember. It is a perfect example of why I love Luke so very much and why I think I am so blessed to get to raise him.

After dinner, when Luke started opening his presents, the second one he opened was from his sister. When I told him it was from Lily, he puts it down and starts to walk over to her (she was still getting cleaned up in the kitchen.) Then he stops, comes back, picks up the present and walks back over to her. Before he even opens it, he tells her, "Thank you Lily for my nice dinosaur present." It was the sweetest thing I've ever seen and it makes me so grateful that they have each other and that they love each other so much.

It's amazing that as a parent you really do love your kids more every day. I remember thinking when Luke was born that I had never loved someone so much. And now I love him a million times more than I did then.

Happy third birthday Luke!
