Look Mom, no braces!

Check out the Million Dollar smile! Well, the $6000.00 smile, anyway! Isn't Luke just the cutest thing??

Today he brought home his school pictures and I found them spread out on the table. Where are the days when he would run into the house clutching his prize and wait impatiently for me to scrutinize them; all the while waiting to hear me declare that he is the most handsome boy in the whole school?

Those days are gone, I am afraid. My little boy is truly a young man now. My nose tingles and my eyes fill up when I look at the picture and see the handsome young man he has become. It won't be long before he will join the ranks of his siblings and will sever the apron strings that tenuously hold him to me and strike out on his own.

Well, for now he is still mine. It will be a few years before he heads out to the Mission Field! Until then, I'll just enjoy that handsome smile and fun way of his!!
