Luke is a gadget kid. He loves electronics... the more expensive and off-limits, the better! From a very early age, he wasn't into fake electronics (ie a Fisher Price telephone), he wanted the real deal. I am sure there are many people out there who have been called a couple of times from Nate's or my telephone, only to find no one (silent Luke) on the other end.

He loves cameras, and loves to see the picture that was taken almost immediately afterward. We just couldn't afford to have him playing with our digital camera, so we decided to use some of our Toys R Us gift cards and purchase Luke his own fully functional, indestructible digital camera.

Luke has been taking a lot of pictures over the past couple of months, and I decided to go through them yesterday. After deleting about three-quarters of them off of the camera (solid white or solid black pictures), I downloaded them to our computer. And here are a couple of the best ones. The camera isn't the best digital quality and doesn't have a flash, so you just have to use your imagination and see these as the sheer genius that we do! I've added some captions for your enjoyment.
