A time to reflect....

This is a wonderful time of year for reflections. A time to reflect on the birth of our Savior, a time to reflect on the ways we want to improve our lives over the next year. More than ever this year, it's been a time to reflect on the arrival of our sweet little boy....exactly three years ago. Witnessing the arrival of a good friend's baby early in December, and welcoming a new neice just a few days ago has brought it all back even more. How is it possible that our little guy is three already? This miracle baby we waited over five years for...

Nathan has become such a sweet, funny, sensitive, joyful boy. We have learned so much from him, and love him more with every passing day. I sure wish he would stop growing up so fast, but I'm so excited to see who he becomes in the coming years. We love you so much Nathan....happy 3rd birthday!


In case anyone is wondering....no, Nathan still has not had any birthday cake at age 3. I couldn't even entice him with the cool cupcakes with cars on the top! Of course he wanted the cars....just not the cake.
This sweet boy opened his first gift....a toy helicoptor from big sister Emma, and was content. He was all set! It took a bit of work to get through the rest of the gifts. Note to self...next year, only one gift? : )

Matthew and Emma were more than happy to help him with the present-opening task. I think I am more excited about this gift than Nathan is. I actually found a little boy potty with WHEELS!! Is that perfect for Nathan or what? Now we just have to convince him to USE it rather than DRIVE it.
Now THIS he can drive. I think he will have so much fun with his very own car to drive. Again, demonstrating his sweet nature....he immediately wanted to have a seat for Emma or Matthew in here. Love this boy!
