FIVE years old today! Our little Italian born son. A surprise you were to us, but not to your Creator. How thankful we are for you and for what you add to our family. You are passionate about life. Full of energy and still struggling to understand the meaning of "walk." You are fearless. You are very expressive and we never have to wonder how you really feel about things. Your facial expressions constantly crack us up! You are tender and still love a good cuddle from Mamma (most of the time). Highly independent and determined in all your undertakings. You love numbers, can tell time and want to learn right along with your siblings. You have yet to embrace food. Drinking yogurt, PBandJ, fruit and pizza are your staples. You have this mamma concerned about your extreme opinions and judgments about food. However, we continue to pray, trust and know that Jesus can help you overcome this in His timing. We love you so very much, our crazy bookey-boy!
Here are some highlights from the first birthday celebration. A party will be held on Sunday with some friends, and will buy me a few more days to create a "Luigi" cake.
Like we said...expressive faces!
Just had to whip up a cake for his actual birthday. This is an ice cream cake, but go figure Luca refused to eat it! I should have known better and just stuck a candle on a bowl of ice cream. You can't mess with appearances. He loves ice cream AND these cake rolls, but don't put them together!

It just seems like yesterday that we received a call telling us that Luca had arrived! We cried with joy and longed to see him and hold him in our arms. It was six months later that we finally got to "meet" him and it was a special gift to us.
We love you lots and lots, our special little fellow. We pray that you will grow up to love and serve our Saviour. We know that God can take all your special traits and use them for His glory! (like never giving up!)
Love,
Munga and Gramma
