1.) He is a big kid himself! There is always squealing, running, laughing, chasing, hiding, and cracking up around our house (and most of it is from Luke). Both Brooklyn and Aubrey seem to get a case of uncontrollable giggles the second he walks through the door.
2.) He is so brilliant! I know he is going to be so embarrassed that I'm writing this, but for those of you who don't know - my husband is a genius! Sometimes I just wish I could know what is going on inside of his head. He is going to make a seriously awesome doctor. (And just in case you were wondering, noodles are an "inferior good" which means that the richer you are the less you buy - he gave me a whole lecture on it yesterday while I was making Top Ramen for lunch. Just another one of Luke's priceless gems of knowledge.)
3.) He is extremely athletic and talented at EVERYTHING! Luke has never met a sport he didn't like (or one that didn't like him back). Some of his favorites are: softball, football, golf, gymnastics, basketball, tennis, and soccer.
4.) He is such a driven, determined person. A few days ago I found a report that Luke wrote about himself in elementary school. He wrote, "I have good hopes for the future. I'd like to learn how to be a medical doctor. Most people don't think it's possible, but I bet I could do it. Then, I'd like to get married and have 3 or 4 kids and live in a good house in Florida." Even though the house in Florida dream doesn't look like it'll be coming true, I think he got close enough. (Side note: he also wrote, "When I'm 30 the world will be a lot different than now. We'll have super computers to control everything. There will be a huge pollution problem and cars will no longer run on gas, instead they will be electric with batteries.") Crazy!
5.) Luke is the perfect example! He is such a loving and caring husband and father and he would do anything for anyone. A few days ago I found a page in my journal from when I was 12 where I listed "101 Characteristics of my Future Husband." As I read over each one, I realized that he has fulfilled and surpassed every expectation I ever had. We could not have created a better daddy ourselves! We love you!
P.S. Happy Father's Day to all you fathers out there who have touched our lives in one way or another, especially our own dads who we unconditionally love and admire.
