Lucas I always call you our 'energetic' one! You are the first one up, last one to fall asleep, full of questions and answers. Such a thinker!
Some know this story, but we almost didn't have Lucas. We were perfectly happy with our family of 4, until the day I got pregnant when I had an IUD. For 10 long weeks I prayed for the baby to survive, to be healthy. God answered my prayers but not in the way I planned. I sub-sequentially lost that precious baby but had a life altering change of heart and body. We learned how precious life is and how much we really did want more kids!! A larger family filled with craziness, but also with bunches of love and laughter!
Shortly after this along came Lucas!! I say this about each and every one of my kids but they are each such a blessing to us and teach us different things. Lucas, well you teach us grace and unending forgiveness. You are hard headed but forgive easily with open arms! You see the abstract and artistry in things, something we try everyday as parents to preserve in you!
Thanks you, oh thank you for joining our family!! <3
