The next big thing I’ve got to catch up on was Nate’s birthday. It’s a biggie too, the big 8! What a darling boy. Remember him at about 8 months old?
He’s always been such a sweet boy. One of my favorite things in the entire world is a child who is kind of intense and takes themselves very seriously. That is one of many reasons I love Nate. He is so earnest and so sincere when he is serious about something. He is so rewarding to give to or to take to events because his excitement is totally transparent. He tends to get obsessed with things and could chat all day long about those things. It’s one of my favorite things to talk to him about animals or LeBron James because his eyes get really big, his mind goes way faster than his mouth can and you can just see the enthusiasm completely envelop him. We love Nathan!
The big thing Nate asked for was a LeBron jersey. He LOVES it. He is also obsessed with cool shoes lately, so with his birthday money from Grandma Jamie and Grandpa John he bought some fancy new shoes.
We do friend parties every other year, and this was the family year so Nate chose to go to Boondocks for pizza and games.
It was really fun, Chloe was staying with us while the rest of her family was at youth conference.
For Nate’s birthday date with my parents, he got to go to an aquarium and get a VIP tour. He got to go behind the scenes, so to speak, and feed the big green turtle and play with the penguins.
What a lucky boy! He loved every second. Happy birthday, Natey!!!

I too LOVE that serious sincere side to natey, I hope he always always keeps that. Especially since he has a sense of humor too, so he's the perfect balance. Happy birthday natey, we love you!
oh and btw, that picture of him is to die for, that face is ridiculously cute and chubby.
I love those qualities you mentioned too. He's a delightful little (getting quickly bigger!) guy.
"his mind goes way faster than his mouth can and you can just see the enthusiasm completely envelop him." So cute!
