Four

As anyone who has talked to Nate in the past two months knows, today is his birthday! His excitement is so precious. He asked for a birthday crown, so I quickly made one last night. He put it on first thing this morning and wore it to school.

First attempt at a picture (I already forget what the scowl was about):


Better picture later:


This boy is so amazing. He is gentle, silly, happy, and so very smart. His current favorite things are playing Crazy Eights (cards), reading "Barnyard Chase" (cute book), going to the park, and riding his bike. Some "specal treats" that make him especially happy are going to Chick-fil-A, eating marshmallows or Starburst jelly beans, and his daddy. (OK, Daddy isn't a special treat, but he makes Nate especially happy.) He is grasping the gospel message and lately has been asking if certain people believe in Jesus so they can go to heaven. What a wonderful, tender boy God has given us.

We got Nate this bed and this bedding (matches existing curtains). They aren't here quite yet but should be this next week.

Two other cute pictures from this week (and note: Levi rolled tummy to back a few times yesterday):



Mimi is coming today!!!!
