I put the ball in the hole

August 13, 2008- The day that will forever be marked in my son's (or my own hahaha) life... Luke's first REAL golf course experience. "We're going golfing daddy!" After a couple trips to the driving range, Luke sped up our bonding process by joining myself and my friend Jeff on the golf course. Luke started the outing with these words, "I want to put the ball in the hole." That's the idea son, that's the whole idea.

"I don't want to..."

As the summer comes to the end I am left gathering what I need to head back to school. This week has been filled with class from 8-3 everyday. LeeAnn had to work the last 5 days with 3 to go, which means Luke has been pawned off to relatives. I don't like having to just drop him off... I wish I could take him everywhere I go... But I had to go to class and he had to spend another day with Great Grandma. I told him I had to"go to work". He got really upset and tears were running everywhere. I was running even later now and just had to go telling im I'd be back. All I could hear was, "I don't want daddy to go to work"... over and over again.
I called during my break and asked how he was and she said he calmed down after a bit but just kept saying, "I don't want daddy to go to work."
It tore me up, but we made it through another day without each other.

Puzzle Time

Nana: "Lukas, would you like to do puzzles with me?"

Lukas: "Yea, I wanna do puzzles with you."

Nana: "Okay." (walks over to check something on her laptop on the way)

Lukas continues past Nana and walks towards the 'puzzle room'.
Turns back towards Nana and says...

Lukas: "Are you coming, or what?"

My Butt

Wrestling with Luke on the floor he gets up after another Superman flight into my kidney when I decide to give his bottom a friendly whack. He says, "Hey that's enough daddy." He did his flying kick while I gave him a couple more whacks when he finally says to me, "Hey daddy, I have to poop out of that. Enough." That didn't stop him from flying toward me again...

Just a lil bite

As I lay on the box-spring at Nana's house in San Antonio, Luke practices his Superman kick into my kidney. Just then he looks to into my eyes and says, "Let me taste your face," followed by a slurping noise as his mouth kept getting bigger and bigger.... Yikes.
