When did THIS happen?

06.10.2011 by juliegumm@yahoo.com //

When did I become mom to a 12-year-old?

An amazing 12-year-old at that. (With some nice bed-head going on.)

He is our sports nut and loves to watch all the games on TV with Dad. He’ll play every sport he has the chance to, although he’s determined to be professional football player (American football at that). I’m encouraging the dream, as he has deemed mom the recipient of the largest portion of his riches 🙂

Luke is hard-working – the first to grab the trash bag when I say “Will someone take this out?” The first one done with his chores.

He’s generous – often spending his money buying something for someone else.

He’s silly (him and Natalie make quite a pair) and sensitive and I can’t imagine our family without him.

Happy Birthday Luke!
