A Happy Birthday Wish To A Special Boy

Well today a very special (to us) person is turning fourteen. Maybe you can guess which of us it is.

1. He has very big feet, so big he can act his age and his shoe size at the same time.

2. He's taller than me, about 5'10'' or so.

3. He likes to be outside fishin' or trapin' or huntin' or workin' or just doin'.

4. He enjoys talking to Laura and I when we're all supposed to be sleeping.

5. He's come up with a few really funny jokes. A few.

6. He has the most adorable little giggle that just bubbles out when he gets really tickled at something. It reminds me of when he was just a little ol' feller. 

7. He's actually not so bad at creative writing. Laura can probably tell you about that better than I can.

8. He dosen't mind jumping out from somewhere and scaring me half to death with me, I'll say.

9. He gives me bunches of fist bumps, daily.

10. He seems to get injured somewhat often. In fact, just today he got cut between two fingers by some briers and it bled a little ',:-\  

11. He's pretty good at herding chickens. (That's what he was doing when he cut himself.) 

12. He's real good at helping me write lots of silly, dumb song lyrics for silly, dumb songs.

13. He loves to eat. He eats a lot. Laura and I made him a 'Snick-a-loaf' for his birthday cake. (That's a whole blog post in itself right there, the snick-a-loaf.)

14. He's a mighty fine actor by Ad Libbia Productions' standards, and he's pretty good at making folks (at least folks in this family) laugh.

If you haven't guessed by now the special boy is Luke.

So Happy Birthday bud.
