Nathan is 7!

Nathan is turning seven years old. I can't believe it. I really can't. Where does the time go? Is there some sort of button to slow things down a little? I wanted to put a few pictures of Nathan on here from through the years. He was born before we had a digital camera, so these more recent pictures will have to do until I get updated. These are some of his later "firsts". They are out of order, but I don't know how to rearrange...

Nathan's first Scottish soccer coach. I was proud and loved the accent.

First city track meet! He raced hard.

Nathans first soccer team. Orange Crush

First day of Kindergarten at Arroyo Vista

First "scary" ride with cousins! It was a trick, but it worked!

First fish he ever caught- with Grandpa!

I just thought this was cute.


Nathan has always had more energy and drive than I could ever imagine. From the day we brought him home from the hospital, it seemed like he was ready to soak in every little detail. He has such a kind heart. He loves to work hard and do his very best at things. He has such a contagious laugh and is a really funny kid. He loves to play, climb trees, run, draw, and listen to music. This year he has been loving soccer. I feel so lucky to have Nathan as a son. I feel like he was sent here as the first son for a special reason.

We love you Nathan and hope you know how thankful we are to have you in our lives! Happy Birthday!
