13 Going on...

Today I have the privilege of celebrating one of my favorite young men!!  13 years ago today our easy-going, flexible, low-key, witty Nathaniel was born!  I really did want him born on the 4th of July but there was just no way to wait any longer, we were just about 2 hours away for the 4th, close enough!

Nate has been such an amazing kid, always surprising us with his quick humor or his naturally laid-back attitude.  I know with him, I have had it easy!!  I believe he is an "old soul", way mature beyond his mere 13 years. 
He is growing up to be a young man of character and integrity, which any parent will tell you is more important than accomplishments or awards.  At least in my estimation any way! We are looking forward to the many years we have with this fine young man, to watch the journey God has Nate on, cheering and encouraging him along the way. 
He has been a true blessing to our family, a great joy to watch grow.  I cannot wait to see where the next 13 years will take him.
 HAPPY BIRTHDAY NATHANIEL DAVID!!
