"Daddy!!!!!"



We were trying to get Luke on video singing his favorite song "I've got no strings to hold me down" (yes, I know, he is dressed more appropriately for singing a song from Beauty and the Beast, he'll do that as well by request) - when we were interrupted by Daddy coming home. You'll hear Brett say, "This is just not right......"

Luke sure loves his Daddy (as you will see on video). Brett reads to him every night and does their little bedtime routine. He also has his "5 minutes of fun" with each of the kids on "their" day. The kids look forward to that like you would not believe. "Today is MY day for 5 minutes of fun!!!!" and the others kids are all, "Awwww!" "Lucky!!" "Well, tomorrow is my day" etc. Of course the "5 minute" part is our "out" if time is short, but it usually is a lot longer than 5 minutes. Brett is a softy. They can choose anything they want - most choice are jumping on the tramp, playing a game, draw, whatever - they just love the time all alone with their dad.

What a COOL time- I might see if Travis is interested in "5 minutes with Dad". I know each daughter LOVES to have their daddy-daughter date. He might feel better able to get in the five minutes, tho'...

I can't wait to see Luke perform live!

That reminds me of when Keven pulled up from work to find Autzen out in the front yard in his sisters pink ballerina tutu doing leaps and spins. Keven was so proud! (NOT!) Gold is definitely Luke's color!

That is so cute! When we told Andrew we were going back to Grandma and Grandpa's house he asked if Luke was going to be there. We wish we could see you guys again already!
