HAPPY BIRTHDAY NATHAN
At 2:27 this morning I woke up (potty break) and realized I was 2 minutes away from Nathan's 3rd birthday. He was born 3 years ago at 2:29 am at home in the same place that I was laying this morning. Most know my story of my really fast labors and how that allowed us with what was a scary and awesome experience of Joe delivering Nathan unassisted. (OK...so as you all have heard me say....give credit where credit is due.... I delivered him, Joe caught him....but caught him well :o) I wouldn't change a thing about it. It happened exactly as it was supposed to and it is an incredible memory for Joe and me. What a fabulous and fast 3 years it has been.
We contemplated for some time whether we were done after Jenna so Nathan is 5 1/2 years younger than Jenna. I remember the morning that he was born saying to Joe " I can't believe we almost let him go to another family." My friend, kasey, always says in response to that "it's a good thing he went to your family because he sure looks a lot like you guys." (which still makes me chuckle).
I don't even know how to sum up these past 3 years other than Nathan completes our family. He is adored and loved by his brothers and sister and brings a whole different light and life to our family. I feel so very blessed to have all of my kids, but Nathan seems to be the link that finished our family circle.
Happy birthday baby boy! We love you!!!

Happy Birthday little man, we love you so much! You are such a special nephew to me. I love all of my nieces and nephews so much, but you're the first one who was born since Jared and I have been married. You're the first one I'm lucky enough to get to see grow up from day 1.
He is a cutie pie!!!!!
Happy Birthday big guy. You are just such a special little spirit, which radiates through your smile and your eyes. So glad you came to this family, so I have the pleasure of being blessed to have you be even just a small part of my life too.
