April 5, 2011

Happy Spring! So far, this morning, Joel a/k/a "The Next Heavyweight Champion of the World" has pooped on my comforter, demanded my attention, cried and screamed at the Dentist, squirted toothpaste all over himself and his car seat and fallen angelically asleep with his long, dark eyelashes resting on his chubby, Chinese cheeks, sigh! I do love him (and nap time:)).

Nate's 13th Birthday




Today is Nate's 13th birthday. He is delightful, smart, good, strong and kind. God blessed me the day he was born; on a beautiful, Spring day in Miesenbach, Germany, 13 years ago. We lived in a duplex, it was three stories high and one of our all-time, favorite homes. We could walk one block away to the Seewoog; here is a picture of it in the Spring. We would go there to feed the ducks and walk. Anyway on March 30th, 1998 we were given a beautiful, sunny, Spring day and decided to go on a picnic, John, very-pregnant-me, Zach and Luke. My neighbor Jane Ann Morgan was pregnant too and due to have her baby in April. I was due to have Nate late in March, I don't remember the exact due date but all of my kids were from 1-2 weeks overdue. So, we were lunching not far from our home and I saw Scot and Jane Ann drive off and I KNEW they were driving to the hospital to have their baby, no fair. I was really disappointed because I wanted to deliver first, after all I was pregnant longer! So, I speedily went into labor that day and delivered our beautiful, Nate. Oddly enough, Jane Ann and I were roommates in the hospital, she had a little boy, Andrew, and Nate and Andrew celebrated their first birthdays with a double birthday party! Nate has promised me he will always live with me, in an RV in the back yard. :)
