Just a few pictures of Luke to brighten up your Mother's Day!
These two are always ready to cheese for the camera.
Doesn't he look good in his white shirt and tie!
This is last years soccer picture. I don't have one of year. He played on Tuesdays and Saturdays and I regularly received texts saying "Goal!!!" He had a great time and learned new skills, made some new friends and learned to manage his temper. He does not like anyone knocking him around!
Luke has developed an allergy to cats. He loves them and can't leave them alone. When he was staying with us for a few days last summer, he had spent the afternoon trying not to play with the kittens and failing. He came in to me and said he couldn't breathe. He was gasping for air and looked a little pale, so I told him to go see Gramps and see what he thought. Luke came right back and said "Gramps said to go to the hospital'. So we did. This lady is my friend, Linda. She was a radiology tech at our hospital and was on call the evening we went in. The doctor wanted an x-ray of Luke's lungs so they called her in. I thought Luke might be a little nervous when she took hold of his hand and told him to come with her and let Grandma fill out the papers, but he went right with her, no problem. When they came back, Luke asked me if I had my ipad with me and I asked him why? He said that he wanted to take a picture of Linda and him. He said, "she just took pictures of me, so I want to take a picture of her!" So we did. Linda died just a week or so later. She had been battling cancer for several years. Because Luke wanted to take this picture, I was able to send it to her family. It is one of the last pictures they have of her. Darn...I wish I had a better camera! But the family didn't care. They loved the picture and Luke's story.
He always has a grin for the camera!
Who would think that Luke would like to fish? I didn't think he would hold still long enough to learn, but he really had a good time, and learned to cast on his own.
Happy Mother's Day, Grandma Nielson!
