31

 

Last night, while tucking Miles into bed, we told him that he needed to “go to sleep right away – tomorrow is daddy’s birthday!” Miles replied, “Yeah, Santa and Jesus will bring you presents!”

Fast forward to today…….

6am – Miles strolls into our room, plops on top of Nate and yells “Trick or Treat, Dad!”  We’re pretty sure he meant “Happy Birthday!”  It’s the thought that counts right?!

Miles shaved with Nate and mimicked him all morning long. Nate must have felt super special!!

Nate is 31. 31 is synonymous with adult. Adults get gifts like books. Want proof? 

See – Nate’s gifts:

Nate is not a quitter. He is not weird. He’s not unemployed…… He just LOVES words about work, life and dreams.  Don’t judge! You should be more like him!

For dinner, we enjoyed some wild mushroom ravioli and steamed broccoli…

Followed immediately by cake - chocolate malt cake with an oreo buttercream frosting!! I found it here.

We loved celebrating your life with you, Nathan!

Before we say farewell to another great year, here’s one fine 31 year old….. photographed by the most adorable 2 year old I know!

Nieces... Oh how I love you!

I am proud to announce that I have another NIECE!!
Yes, that brings my tally to 4 beautiful baby girls that I get to love and watch grow into elegant, intelligent women!  I really cannot be more excited!!

Lydia Violet was born on September 13, 2011.
She is 7lbs 10oz and 21.5 inches long



She made us wait an extra 8 days to make her grand appearance...
I have not met her yet, but this picture speaks for itself.
She was well worth the wait!

Congrats, Russ and Kelly - She's perfect!

We love you, Little Lydia!
We can't wait to meet you!

Love,
Nate, Kelly and Miles
