A whole year of pictures to share with you on Luke's 10th Birthday

Today Luke turned 10 years old:-) I thought to celebrate his day I would post some pictures from this past year of his life because sometimes a picture can speak louder than words.

Luke was pretty proud of himself when he actually helped blow out the candles on his cake, first time ever!

Luke thinking it's funny that Penelope is trying to grab his feeding tube, I on the other hand was trying not to freak out

Luke loves having his nieces near him
Luke at yet another Dr.'s appointment, notice no oxygen, one of the few days he's gone to the Dr. without it this past year.
The kids and I on Valentine's Day, Luke first time out of the house without oxygen, for that matter the first time going anywhere besides medical appointments in months.
See Zeke cheering Luke in the background we were all excited to see him actually try to blow out his candles this year.
Most of the guests at his party
Double the blessing, double the fun

Luke loved touching his new cars blanket, thank you Rodriguez family
