Happy Birthday, Lucas!

Today is my Lukey-Monsters 3rd Birthday! I can't believe he's already so big. I want to hold on to the baby in Lukey so badly, but he'll have none of that! He's growing and learning so quickly with lots of help from his big brothers and sisters.

Lucas gives the best hugs and kisses, and can just as easily throw a mean right hook (thanks to the instruction of his big brother, Nick). Lucas has so many sides to his personality and they can change in a flash. He likes to play outside like his big sister Emily (and loves following her, too). He's a daredevil with a bit of a temper just like his big brother Elijah. I can see Nick come out in his personality when he is content to be quiet and alone playing with his hot wheels. Olivia is a talker and to compete Lucas has to be a talker, too.

Then there are the parts of Lucas that are all him. He loves to be his Daddy's shadow, but wants Mommy to kiss the boo-boos. Lucas has a love of animals, and is always packing one of the dogs around. He's obsessed with cars and can play with them for hours. He's a little go-getter, and works hard every day keeping up with his siblings. Lucas is an active, fun-loving little guy that completes our family.

Happy Birthday Little Man.
