It has been a hard winter for Oklahoma. We had a snow blizzard in the month of December and in January, a horrible ice storm. We lost power for about 13 hours; however, many individuals went without for much longer, some for a week!
On a happier note, Nate loved having snow and ice to play in!!!!!
I fear we will not have as much shade this summer!!!!
On the Saturday after Nate's birthday, we had a friend party at one of our favorite places.....Tumble Time. Little Man had a BLAST!!! Thanks to everyone that came out and celebrated with us!
Nate wanted an Ice Age Dinosaur cake. Nate's friend Jack was a great helper. My little monkey boy I wonder where Nate gets his fancy hands from? LOL!
Nate turned four on January 4th!!!! I know, where in the world did the last four years go????? We had a family party for him on his birthday and scheduled a friend party for the weekend (next post). He had a great time! Thank you everyone for all your wonderful gifts (thank you cards got mailed out today)!
I decided to create this blog as a sort of "journal" for Nathan. I do not have the time or the inclination to put together a scrapbook for him. I am just not creative! We have photo albums for him but it is just not as personal. Thank you Lindsey for the wonderful blog idea!
In my son's eyes, I am a hero. I am strong an' wise, And I know no fear. But the truth is plain to see: He was sent to rescue me, I see who I want to be, in my son's eyes.
In my son's eyes, everyone is equal, Darkness turns to light, And the world is at peace. This miracle God gave to me, Gives me strength when I am weak. I find reason to believe, in my son's eyes.
And when he wraps his hand around my finger, Oh, it puts a smile in my heart. Everything becomes a little clearer. I realize what life is all about. It's hanging on when your heart has had enough; It's giving more when you feel like giving up. I've seen the light: it's in my son's eyes.
In my son's eyes, I can see the future. A reflection of who I am, And what will be. And though he'll grow and, some day, leave: Maybe raise a family, When I'm gone, I hope you'll see, How happy he made me, For I'll be there, in my son's eyes.
