Lukie Beans is 6!



I woke up this morning remembering the rather rough and overly eventful entry of my boy, Beans into this world. The cord was wrapped around his neck and his shoulders were so wide his collar bone was broken at birth. His little face was so blue I immediately started to pray that he wasn't brain damaged. He Wasn't. He was also so tough he never fussed about his collar bone. We didn't even know it was broken for two weeks and only then through an x-ray to make sure his lungs were clear.
It was a very fitting birth. Luke never does anything easy or painlessly. He would be a perfect slapstick comedian with his constant running into walls, falling, and jumping off high places just to amuse anyone who will watch or, just himself.

I have never known a boy to cause so much destruction but at the same time love so completely! He is my heartbreak and my joy. He makes me cry right before he makes me laugh. If there is one word to describe how Luke does life it is this:
Passion.
Happy Birthday Beans! We all love you so.
