Happy birthday Andrew!





Today is our son Andrew's 2nd birthday. Nathan and I went to go see him today and feed the ducks and geese with him. (David is out of town this week so he couldn't go) They finished the pathway that they have been talking about doing for two years. It looks really good. Andrew has a new friend there now too. Another little boy has a memorial rock next to him. There were about 60 geese there today. They kind of sacred Nathan because they kept trying to steal his bread out of his hand. Nathan had lots of fun though.
Happy birthday Andrew. We love you very much. We are so grateful to know that we are an eternal family, and that we will see you again. We miss you lots.

World of Coke





Nathan and I went to The World of Coke today. We had so much fun. Nathan had lots of fun with the polar bear. He snuggled right up to him, and sat on his lap for 10 minutes. After that we went and saw the big Coke Christmas tree. We took lots and lots of pictures, here is a sampling of them, with a little holiday flair.

1 year ago...


Nathan,
Happy birthday Nate! One year ago today you came into our lives. It has been such a wonderful year. You have always been such a happy little guy. I feel so blessed that I get to stay at home with you and watch you grow everyday. You make me laugh and smile everyday. I am so grateful that you picked me to be your mommy. I thank Heavenly Father everyday for blessing me with you. Your laugh and smile can light up a room. You are such a friendly guy, you will go to anybody, even strangers. You have been walking for two weeks now, and you are all over the place. It is so fun to watch you learn new things. You are a curious kid, like your dad blessed you to be. The first word you said was da-da, then you learned to say tickle-tickle. You love music. It is so fun to watch you dance when one of your toys plays music, or you hear it on the t.v. or radio. You just rock side to side and smile. You love books. You love looking at them and reading them, just like your daddy. You have a very sweet personality. You bring so much joy and happiness into our home. I love you so much more than you could ever imagine. I am so grateful for eternal families, and that you have been sealed to us forever. I love you Nathan.
Love,
Mommy



Happy birthday baby Nate,

It has only been one year since you were just a wee little boy. You have learned so many things since then. Back when you were first born, you could only lay there and look around. Little by little you learned to hold your head up, how to sit up, how to say da-da, how to climb up the stairs, how to crawl and how to walk. You also have learned how to make messes, how to eat leaves, how to unravel the toilet paper, how to hit the spoon so that squash goes up the wall, and how to squirm so that it is nearly impossible to put clothes on you. you change so quickly, often when I come back from a trip you have learned a new trick, and you grow so quickly that you look different when I've been gone a few days. I am looking forward to many more years of you making messes and learning new tricks. I love you little guy

ZOO!

Nathan's Aunt Llew and I took Nathan to Zoo Atlanta today. It was a little chilly, so we bundled up. We had a really fun time looking at all the animals Nathan really liked the Elephant,the Rhino, and the Pandas. We even heard the big lion roar! Nate enjoyed looking at all the different animals, he was so tired after that he slept the whole way home.


In the childrens petting zoo, Nathan had fun looking at the goats and sheep, until one of the goats turned and looked at him. He decided after a while that they were ok and that he could pet them.


The Pandas kept walking right past the glass where Nathan was standing. He didn't really understand how cool that was though. He did have fun watching them wrestle and play.

Nathan and Aunt Llew watching the lemurs. They were so noisy, noisier than Nathan!
Here is the cutest mommy and baby meerkat you will ever see!
