Happy Birthday Lukee!!! Luke is 9 years old today!! Luke adds LIFE to whatever he is involved in. Luke is a live wire and he is oozing with energy. Luke is interesting...he can play for hours with a lego, or a "guy" (which is an action figure), he loves playing with action figures. He has an amazing imagination, I know that when he is playing with his action figures he has a whole big battle going on. When he is playing this he is never talking, but he uses the most amazing sound effects. It really is something to listen to.
When Luke was younger he was 100% convinced that he was Spiderman. I mean the real deal. He even introduced himself as Luke Franke Spiderman Brewer at preschool on the first day...I thought I would die. He also would wear his Spiderman costume EVERYDAY, and when I would put my foot down and not allow it...he would sneak it under his clothes I even caught him as we were standing in the check-out line in Costco showing everyone whom he could quietly get their attention....HIS COSTUME!!! That way they knew if there was a problem Spiderman was on the scene.
Luke is lively and very wrapped up in his own imagination, and therefore sometimes he flies under the radar...he can just be playing away for LONG periods of time, and he's never been one to care much about food....so there has been occasion where he has missed meal time...like if we are on the "fend for yourself" program....well, Luke gets missed in that program, and is nearly famished and in a panic by the time he surfaces from his big imaginary battle, and I ask who fed Luke....we soon find out NOBODY!!! So we feed him, charge him back up and off he goes. He even said one day last summer when this had happened a few lunches in a row...He says, "Nobody feeds me around here and I'm the skinniest one of all." That is so true, he is just skin and bones and when he gets hungry it is desperate because he has no reserves in that body of his.
Luke is a good friend...his cousins and friends just love him. He is always up for a good time and is just gets excited about anything that involves his cousins and friends.
Luke is FUNNY!! I mean FUNNY!!! He doesn't even have to try....he just says the funniest things...he is definitely family entertainment.
Luke is a blast. He is always up to whatever is proposed to him. He just wants to be a part of it whatever it is....if there is fun to be had....he wants in!
Luke has such a tender heart. He is very compassionate to others. He has a special bond with his sisters...Lashae because she took care of him a TON when he was a baby and toddler, and Charsie because she looks out for Luke a lot....she gets pretty bossy with him, but he needs it and he responds to her very well.
Luke has been asking us for awhile now if he can get "bath-tized" (this is how he says it), we have just not gotten on it fast enough for him so he told his teachers at VBS this week that he would like to be "bath-tized", so we got a call from the pastor. He will be getting baptized in the next couple of weeks. We are just so proud of him and extra proud for his persistence. He is very adamant about this decision, even if he doesn't say it quite right, he knows what it means.
He brings so much life, energy, and laughter to this family and we thank God for him, he is a HUGE blessing in a skinny little package.
