Silly, crazy, and always making us laugh

So you started school this year.  Mom works on Monday and Wednesday so you get to stay at Grandma and Grandpa Nyenhuis BOTH days!!! You have no idea how blessed you are to be able to do that!  Grandma called me just after you started school and figured out that this was going to be her last year with any "baby" still at home and not in school full time. (Devon and Carson don't live close enough of they would be the youngest) and I think she is more nervous and devistated as I am.  Our last year together before you too begin school full time!!! I just cannot believe that the time has already come.  Your typical week is

• Monday: Gma and Gpas, pick up Karlie from bus at 3pm
• Tuesday: Bible study in the morning with Mom. We load up a bag with cars and ramps and you have a friend that you get to be with in nursery otherwise I have to depend on our trusty Ipad.  After bible study we have lunch together every tuesday at McDonalds, just me and you. Then it is off to school.  I then pick you and Karlie up after class and we have gymnastics and while Karlie is away we visit Mrs Carrie Roelofs and brysen and Jayden your buddies.
• Wed. gma and gpas again.
• Thursday: usually nothing in the morning, lounging around with mom till school
• Friday: same, nothing planned but school. 

I enjoy our mornings together and am glad that we went with the afternoon.  For us it works out well b/c then we can have our time together in the morning and I can pick up both you and Karlie after school and she doesn't have to take the bus.  You can't take the bus or I would have both of you doing that.  Next year! :)

I wish I could tell you how funny you are and the many ways that you make me laugh and smile.  You are really starting to grasp the whole Jesus thing and that He is your friend and in your heart.  This is the month of Jesus birthday. You talk about heaven and hell where scary monsters and satan is.  I go in your room at night often and pray for you that you will have a desire to seek the Lord and keep Him close to your heart.

Great Grandma Siereveld died this week.  I talked about her body and soul, and after school we went to the place she was buried so that we could talk some more.  I don't know what you are thinking....You were very curious to see her laying in the coffin, hid and yet curiousity kept you going back to peek.

You are definitely growing more mature.  You sing now, you are more vocal and not shy...You get sooo excited when you make a new friend.  This summer you said to me "mom, aren't you so proud of me that I have this new friend?"  Sometimes I feel bad b/c in the morning before you go to school I am so busy cleaning and picking up the house and laundry that your friend is the "ipad"....I hate doing it but sometimes I just have to.

I love you Luke, more than you will ever know!!!

Christmas is almost here and you are hoping to get a toy semi truck....thats pretty much it!!! proabably can't say that much longer so this year mom can still get away without dropping alot of cash!!!  (beyblades, hotwheels, dirtbikes, and quads is about the bulk of it!)
