Luke Michael is 7!!

I cannot believe Luke is holding up seven fingers.  It's hard to believe my baby boy is a first grader.

Time for a big kid bike!  

We had one happy boy opening his presents...it won't be hard to figure out what Luke was into this year.

We told Amelia to give Luke a birthday hug, look at the death grip Luke has on her shoulder.  

So happy.

Luke got to choose the birthday restaurant.  Of all the fresh seafood we have here on the gulf and of all the restaurants we have in Ocean Springs...Luke chose Red Lobster.  Grandma Nancy, you should have been here!  Luke and Grandpa Steve ordered crab legs, Daddy ordered popcorn shrimp like always and the girls and I ate chicken...at Red Lobster.  Sigh.

Yup, more legos :)

Luke chose to have his birthday party at Kangarooz this year, which is a inflatable jumpy house place.  

Hanging together before the friends showed up.  Little Miss can really hold her own now at places like this.  She is nothing if not determined.

Buddies-old friends and new friends are the best.

The Castleman boys.  Addison has chosen Tate as her betrothed.  Tate is not so sure about this but he tolerates it well.  She chases him at school and sits by him and inquires about him when she is not with him.  Eben was also a sweetheart and took Addison all around the party and played with her.

Pizza, cake and ice cream time :)

Happy 7th Birthday Luke!  We love you so much and hope you always keep your kind, caring heart.
