Sometimes I forget that even though Luke is only 10 months old, he is actually really smart, and he is a real little person, with thoughts, and feelings, and he gets happy and sad.
Yesterday, was the perfect example of this. Monday night was the last time that Luke had seen Jake.... Jake left for work before Luke woke up on Tuesday, and then he had to go straight from work to some 'meetings' for church, so he got home again after Luke had already gone to bed. Then, on Wednesday morning, Luke woke up, just as Jake was getting together his keys and about to run out the door... I quickly ran and grabbed Luke from his crib, and darted into the kitchen so that Jake could say goodbye to him before he left...it had been a while since they had seen each other. Usually, Luke doesn't at all react to Jake leaving... I always presumed it was because he didn't really understand what was happening, and he didn't care, because I am still here, but yesterday morning, as I went into the kitchen with Luke, to say goodbye, Luke got SUPER excited. He squealed, and stiffened up his body in my arms, the way he does when he is really excited... he was just sooo happy to see his daddy...Then, Jake kissed him goodbye, and ran out the door... this is when to my surprise, Luke got REALLY sad, and started to cry. My heart broke...
Our sweet little boy, had noticed the long time it had been since he had last seen his daddy, and couldn't have been more excited to finally see him again...and then daddy left again and this made him sad.
It really amazes me how smart such little children can be, and how accurate their emotions are. He loves his daddy, and he misses him when he is gone... though, I suppose that is to be expected when you have a daddy as great as he does.

So cute! Cannon is suddenly choosing Bruce when he is around! I was sure I was going to have a momma's boy but now I'm not so sure! I love the pictures of you trying to paint w/out Luke!
