It was 8 years ago this morning that our little big man arrived. He ushered in autumn then and today we celebrated again as fall was in the air. It was instantaneous love, 8 years ago. We fell in love with those big brown eyes.
He's our crazy Nate!
He's our strong man!
He's full of love and concern for everyone! He's full of energy and strength! He's our sweet, caring, kind, loving little man. He's our sports fanatic, he loves all things sports!
The morning began with flag football. Ronnie and Nathaniel have been playing on Saturday mornings. So Grandpa and Grandma Adkins came to see him play and so did Pap! From there everyone came for lunch. We made sandwiches and finger food for lunch so we could watch the OSU game.
This year he decided I could surprise him with his birthday cake. He didn't put any stipulations on it.
Pap helped keep it a surprise while I got the candles on.
I got the idea from a friend and it was a pretty simple cake!
and the best thing is...he enjoyed it!
He was so excited today for his new Bible cover! He had asked for one a while back and wanted it to have a pen and paper too - he seemed pleased!
Then, I'm not even sure why we wrapped this one - he knew right away!
I was pretty proud of Nathaniel's big brother. He gave him this red envelope with a hand written note and $8 in change from his own bank!
Then Maddie gave him a beautifully colored picture and a big HUG!
So today we celebrate our Nathaniel!
Happy Birthday Buddy, we love you so much and are so proud of all you are becoming!
