Here is a little birthday tribute to these two kids of mine. Their birthdays are 2 days a part and what a blessing both of them are to our family. It is a treat to have a daughter who grows up to be one of your best friends. She is wise beyond her years and a example to me and I love spending time with her. I only wish she lived closer:( Happy Birthday Sis - We Love YOU
Nate was about 2 1/2 when this picture was taken. Where has all the time gone?? He had a special birthday this year - Turning 12 is a pretty big deal!! He is super excited to receive the priesthood and pass the sacrament in church. When the Bishop presented him in our ward to be made a Deacon he asked Nate to bare his testimony. I think I held my breath the entire time because I was so nervous for him. It was beautiful and heart felt. I was so proud of him. I am blessed to be his mom. He continues to teach and stretch me as a parent and I am grateful for that. His love is unconditional and he has a very tender, forgiving heart. There has been a couple of times where I have asked myself...."Why can't I remember his birth weight'? And then it dawns on me....He's adopted!!! He had my heart the first time I laid eyes on him:) Happy Birthday Nate Dawg - We Love YOU
