Happy Birthday Luca!

9-11-01
Eight years ago the day so many thousands were killed in the World Trade Centers.
9-11-99
Ten years ago the day my husband's 2 cousins died in a plane crash.
9-11-98
Eleven years ago the day God choose for the birth of an amazing blessing, the day my third son Luca was born.

Of all my children, I think Luca is the most tender-hearted and caring. If a little one is lagging behind Luca is the one who usually looks out for them. He is the first one I call if I need someone to hold the baby because he is almost always willing to take her.
Luca is super conscientious, almost to a fault at times: when he was younger he was so worried about being honest that he couldn't just say "Yes" and "No" he would do something, but instead everything was "Maybe I will, but maybe I won't, but maybe I will" ...drove his momma nuts, but he didn't want to make any false promises.
Often I'll feel little hands on my shoulders or feet and am treated to a massage compliments of my thoughtful son.
I love his innocent baby-heart (don't tell him I called it that!) and his tender conscience...I know God has a special calling for him and I am so blessed to be his mom!


I love how Luca is cradling his baby sister in this picture.

some of my favorite pictures of Luca



We used to always tease him about his Sponge Bob teeth

But he's grown into them nicely






Thank you, Jesus, for this incredible child!
