All About Luke

Today is all about my sweet little man!

Luke was born January 31, 2008 and has always been my little snuggle bug.

He has always been very curious, has a fierce imagination, and LOVES to learn about science and math.  He could build with LEGOS all day!  He is also very sensitive and can be very shy but he loves to make people laugh, just don't put him on the stage.  He is fiercely loyal to his friends and although his sister drives him crazy a lot of the time, he would do anything to protect her.  His love language is quality time.

Here are a few things he is loving at age 8

Skiing

He started skiing when he was 3 and has loved every minute of it.  He can now ski black diamonds and through the trees with his Daddy.  

Snorkeling/SNUBA

We took our first big beach trip in June (you can look back on all the details of our trip) and Luke got to try SNUBA (SCUBA but the tank is floating above you on a raft instead of you carrying it and you only go about 20 feet down).  He is now looking forward to the day he can get SCUBA certified.  He really enjoyed snorkeling too.  He would dive down to look closer and even went through an underwater tunnel.

Learning to knee board

Poppa has a boat but with the lakes being low for several years, Luke is just now getting a chance to really learn.  He would spend every weekend out on the boat if he could.

Swimming

Right now he is suggesting we sell our playscape in our backyard and build a pool.  haha - if only that would be enough sweet boy.  :)

Riding his Bike

He learned to ride his bike this past year and pretty much thinks he can now drive a car.  lol

We have been spending lots of time riding and are hoping to ride to school some this year.

Photography

This is something he has recently been very interested in learning more about.

He wants to be a scientist when he grows up and got to go to a fun camp that the gifted program in McKinney put on this summer.  Yes, he enjoyed learning about math and science over the summer break.  :)  He loves to read about space and science too.
