Lucas Maxwell, you are my pride and joy. You are seven and in second grade. Every time I look at you, I wonder where the time has gone. You are so tall and mature. I love watching you laugh with your Dad or giggle with your cousins. You recently did a self portrait and wrote what your reading goals are for the year in school. My heart was warmed when I read that your reading goal was to read the "skripshers". In preparation for your baptism, we have been reading scriptures diligently each night. You amaze me at how you understand the simple Gospel principles. You tell me of conversations you have at school about God with friends. I am so pleased that you aren't afraid to tell others what you believe. Thanks for being so brave.
Tonight we went to celebrate a cousin's Birthday and you performed "Watch me Whip and Nay Nay" which is such a silly song, but you learned the dance in PE at school and you're pretty cute when you do it. Your cousins all loved it. Your most favorite thing is being with family. We are pretty lucky to have them all living so close.
You are reading so well and I am amazed at how great you are at math. I hope you continue to work hard in school. Your teacher and friends at your new school (Meredith Hill) are so great. You were part of the LEGO club which was so fun!
I love when you want to play with me. I taught you how to play Skip-Bo and you are pretty good! We play lots of board games and you love to play ping pong. You also love electronics and play with your cousins. You play basketball right now and it's so fun to watch you.
Yesterday we went to our friends, Matias and Emiliano's Birthday party at the family fun center. I haven't laughed that hard in a long time. Watching the kids drive the go-carts into walls was hilarious! You were big enough to do bumper boats by yourself and you were out there splashing and bumping around. You guys loved the arcade games... such BOYS!
Lucas, I am so proud of you and you continue to amaze me at what a great Big Brother you are. Thanks for loving your family and being a great leader for Bo and Tessa.
hugs & kisses,
"mommy"

When I found out Lucas was coming, I decided to keep a journal for him. I will continue to write letters to him so he can know all of the big events in his life that he was too young to remember. I'll stop keeping a journal for him when he is 8, old enough to keep his own. These entries will make a great baptism gift and hopefully be something he can treasure forever.
