Beach Day! Mommy and Lukey

Today started like any other day! My little guy wakes up around 845, I change him and then we climb back into my bed for our morning cuddles! At around 930, Lilly is whining to be let out so we get outta bed! I ask Luke if he wants a banana and he excitedly says 'BA BA BA' (his version of banana). I then tell him to sit in his chair and I'll go get his his banana! He climbs up in his highchair and proceeds to clap asking for his favorite fruit! After he eats his banana and waffle - we play a little around the house, he helps with dishes, and folding laundry! I then ask him 'Luke do you want to go to the beach!' he immediately turns around an says 'Beach! Beach!' lol I pack us up and here we are!

We have been at the Beach since 1230, it's 3pm now and lukey has now fallen asleep on a towel, ON the beach! But as he was playing I kept watching him in amazement... What an amazing gift I've been given!!! This awesome little kid who I get to hang out with everyday! Who I've been entrusted with by God to raise!

I am in awe of his greatness as I stare out at the ocean and here is my prayer
'Dear God, THANK you for always being bigger than my problems, bigger than my battles, bigger than my obstacles!! You are a Loving God who has never left me!! Please help me to be the best mother I can be to my son, so that he is raised up knowing YOUR love..... Thank you for my son and for my husband... They truly are my life! AMEN'

Until next time!

Cookie

I've decided I'd update the blog with small yet memorable stories from time to time!

So today Luke and I decide to take Kahlua and Lilly to the park! Before we go I decide to give Luke a peanut butter cookie (kinda like a nutterbutter)... While I am putting on Lilly's leash I notice Luke laughing, playing keep away from Kahlua! Then I say 'let's go to the park' he still has half of the cookie in one hand and half in the other... Now we have been at the park for over 20 minutes and Luke is still walking around with the cookie... Every once in a while I notice him put a little bite in his mouth...

Talk about holding on tight to what you got while you have it! Love this kid! Everyday I learn new life principals from him :-)

Until next time!
