Please read all the way down as his 1st day of school is down the bottom!
Most people will not understand all the fuss over an alarm clock, but this is no ordinary alarm clock......... This is a Sonic Boom and Luke is in Heaven with it. His "Deaf only" alarm clock as he calls it! His clock has bright strobes on the front that flash when his alarm goes off and a disc that goes under his mattress that will vibrate along with the light flashing to wake him up. He is so excited to have his own special alarm clock. Watch the pictures and see for yourself the joy one alarm clock can bring!
Luke had another HUGE 1st today. Luke went to school for the first time today! He was very nervous this morning when we were getting ready but we got him there and daddy and I stayed with him for his first day. We stayed a half day. Luke worked so hard and did such an amazing job that this woman has realized she underestimates Luke and ultimately the Lord. Luke was so proud of himself and so proud of his work and he is soooooo excited to be learning that he couldnt stop grinning and couldnt wait to get home to tell his brother and sister all about his day! Luke is walker much taller then his 4'8" frame today as he is bursting with pride and his momma is too! We took him to get some celebration ice cream when he was done school as he did so well. Tonight he did homework with his brother and they encouraged each other and were both so excited to sit togethe and do their homework that my heart is just bursting with pride at how well they did! we had a few struggles last week with some jealousy issues with Tommy and Paige but they were very short lived and all is back to bliss! We are doing amazing and cant beleive how well things are going. Luke was so tired from his first day of school that he started asking me at 6pm if it was bed time hahah. He did make it until 8:15 and then finally gave in and crashed in bed. I beleive Luke is going to prosper in school and his true genius is going to shine through very quickly!

WOW - I may need to get one of those clocks. As I've aged my hearing has 'failed' by leaps and bounds - and continues to get progressively worse. I'm able to 'compensate' with hearing aids - but you can't sleep with them in / on - but right now the Bride is happy to kick me out if I fail to 'hear' the clock (which sleeps in bed with me right next to the pillow at full volume!)
Luke is extremely cool - a very impressive young man - and will make his family very proud!
Actually - Luke's family is pretty cool too - a fine collection of folks! Glad to know you guys!
hugs - aus and co.
If this turns out to be a duplicate post, I apologize-blogger said it wasn't working when I tried to comment.
Luke is a poster child for international adoption! What a wonderful transition into your family he has made. I do think that it's easier for boys, but with his disability it's still amazing. Great to see him letting you get close, too!

Love the pictures of all the kids! Luke is such a sweetheart! So glad we could meet him in person! It is amazing how he continues to blossom! God is so good! Praying God continues to give you wisdom and open doors in school for him. So fun peeking into your life with him!

I am a fellow "deafchinaadopt" yahoo grp member. We just celebrated 3 years home with our dgt. She was adopted at 4 yrs and 8 mths of age and is profoundly Deaf. She joined our family w/no language and is now reading at the same level as most 2nd graders (a little below average but quickly catchibg up). Her receptive language (ASL) is that of a 10 yr old. We had a smooth transition as you ate. Your sweet boy will stay in our prayers
