Nate the Great

My goodness, where has time gone? First and most importantly, Nate is still cancer free and doing wonderful!!! He had his test completed in May and all was free and clear of cancer. He is now on yearly check-ups! Praise the Lord for His goodness and continually answering our prayers. Now, let's talk about that cute boy...

He turned 4 in July and got his first bike for his birthday. He rides like a pro! We took a vacation to the beach this summer and he loved every minute of it...he is a beach bum at heart just like Nathan and I. And his biggest accomplishment is that he has started K-4 and is doing wonderfully. He has loved it and he loves his teacher. He enjoys learning, so this has been so great for him. On the first day he was very apprehensive, as was I, but he soared right through and wanted to go back!!!! I asked him if he asked any questions that day and he said, "yes, I asked my teacher when we were going to the playground." LOL! He was making sure the important questions were answered on the first day.

Please keep praying for the little guy when he comes to mind. He is a blessing to us and we love getting laughs from him. I end this with one funny story...

About 2 months ago we were on our way home and out of the blue Nate says, "Do you remember those underwear you got for Christmas'? (My brother Matthew made me a pocket book out of underwear. He put wooden handles on it and sewed the legs closed...yes, only Matthew would make such a great gift.) I said "yes. Why"? Nate continues to say, "That was actually a really nice gift." I said "It was"? "Yes, because when I am big like daddy I can wear them!!!" It was one of those moments I wanted to laugh so hard, and yet he was so sincere I didn't want to embarrass him. He can be too cute!!
