Luke's Birthday







Well our Luke turned nine On March 7th. He started the morning with what my children have chosen for every birthday since age two - DONUTS! He had his party at Laser Quest and he insisted I play. I had never played before and I will have to say it was a blast!!! My boys had little faith in me that I would do well, but I did indeed prove them wrong! He also did something this year that made me proud. In lieu of birthday gifts he asked that his guests bring donations of gift cards to go to a family whose son has cancer. Even though it was my idea, Luke jumped at the mention of it and was genuinely happy to do it and felt so good about it. He chose to celebrate his birthday dinner at Wasabi which is a Japanese restaurant where they cook in front of you. He and Andrew had been there before and loved it. Anyone who knows me knows that Asian cuisine is at the bottom of my list of places I like to dine out. Wasabi did not change that sentiment, even though it was a fun place to be together.
