Happy birthday Luke

Happy Birthday my sweet young man..... the first love of my life! :)

12 years later and you are still my everything! Even more so now! I love you more than ever and you make me so happy to be able to call you my son! :) I am officially old now that I have a 12 year old! ;)

Some pics from the party on Sunday....

Can he get any more grown up???? :) (And Sammy loves to be "wrapped up" in the wrapping paper!) :)

Don't laugh at my chihuahua cupcake on the cake! Brian said it looked like a pig and I think it looked like a cartoon wolf! HA! :) Luke told me it looked like a chiwi, maybe he was just being nice because he wanted his presents! ;) LOL Anyway, he thought it was cute! (Half the problem was that I couldn't find my decorating stuff! UGH! I finally did by the end of the night! Good timing, hah??? :)

P.S. Love the "wolf looking" cupcake. Sorry honey. It's adorable though. You know I couldn't bake an edible cupcake much less a pretty one.; September 29, 2009 at 6:12 PM

Yeah, Dawn...that was the big ticket item he asked for from the aunts and uncles and grandparents this year! He is very lucky to have such a generous family! :)

God Chooses A Mom for A Disabled Childby Erma Bombeck
Most women become mothers by accident, some by choice, a few by social pressures, and a couple by habit. This year, nearly 100,000 women will become mothers of handicapped children. Did you ever wonder how mothers of handicapped children are chosen? Somehow I visualize God hovering over Earth selecting his instruments for propagation with great care and deliberation. As he observes, he instructs his angels to make notes in a giant ledger.
"Armstrong, Beth; son; patron saint, Matthew.
"Forrest, Marjorie; daughter; patron saint, Cecelia.
"Rudledge, Carrie; twins; patron saint.... give her Gerard. He's used to profanity."
Finally, he passes a name to an angel and smiles, "Give her a handicapped child."
The angel is curious. "Why this one, God? She's so happy."
"Exactly," smiles God. "Could I give a handicapped child a mother who does not know laughter? That would be cruel."
"But has she patience?" asks the angel.
"I don't want her to have too much patience or she will drown in a sea of self-pity and despair. Once the shock and resentment wears off, she'll handle it. I watched her today. She has that feeling of self and independance. She'll have to teach the child to live in her world and that's not going to be easy."
"But, Lord, I don't think she even believes in you."
God smiles. "No matter. I can fix that. This one is perfect. She has just enough selfishness."
The angel gasps, "Selfishness? Is that a virtue?"
God nods. "If she can't seperate herself from the child occasionally, she'll never survive. Yes, there is a woman I will bless with a child less then perfect. She doesn't realize it yet, but she is to be envied. She will never take for granted a 'spoken word.' She will never consider a 'step' ordinary. When her child says 'Momma' for the first time, she will be present at a miracle and know it! When she describes a tree or a sunset to her blind child, she will see it as few people ever see my creations.
"I will permit her to see clearly the things I see --- ignorance, cruelty, prejudice --- and allow her to rise above them. She will never be alone. I will be at her side every minute of every day of her life because she is doing my work as surely as she is here by my side."
"And what about her patron saint?" asks the angel, his pen poised in midair.
God smiles. "A mirror will suffice."
