We had his first school conference for fourth grade and really enjoyed chatting with his teacher and hearing about Luke's strengths and all he's been learning. But, most importantly we heard about his character. His teacher described him as a "quiet leader", one who leads by example. We were grinning ear to ear.
Today, Luke finished his third year of football. It was an exciting game where he got to play wide receiver, running back, corner back, and tight end. Luke caught some passes and scored a touch down, but he dropped a couple too. The score ended in our favor and each player got a trophy and lots of treats after the game. But, again, what did I love most about the day? Hearing one of the sweet, fourth grade boys saying over and over to each teammate, "It was fun playing with you this season." And, hugging the coach and hearing him say "it's always great having Luke on the team." My heart was warmed on an otherwise chilly morning.
We are beyond blessed by this boy:)
