Luke's Staying busy

Well soccer season is wrapping up. Life is calming down a little. You would think . . . Right after Luke's last soccer game, we took him over for his basketball try outs. (Try outs is not a real good name for it. Everybody makes a team but they use these evaluations to help balance the teams out.) His games will start in January.

The other new addition to Luke's schedule is he has joined Cub Scouts. We have talked about having him join in the past but have never pursued it. This year one of his good friends from school and soccer is involved and sparked the interest for Luke. We went back and forth whether with the adoption coming if this was the right year to start it. Then we got to thinking this will give him a regularly scheduled father-son time to help reassure him during the transiton period that can be so hard on kids already in the family during an adoption. That coupled with his father's fond memories of Scouts and his Uncle's love of scouting says that this is probably a good thing to get him involved in. So here is a picture of Luke before his first pack meeting. (I had managed to make it over to the Boy Scout Store and get the shirt and stuff but I had not gotten the patches on yet. They are now on.) He was so excited about it. I hope the excitement stays with him.

One final thought: Does anyone want to buy any popcorn???
