Thomas Nathan
8 Years Old
Oh, our sweet baby boy, we love you so very much! I honestly cannot believe how quickly the past 8 years have gone. I love getting to know his personality and feel like we can make some pretty good guesses as to what he will be like as an adult. He is a kind, smart, and loving person. He tends to over-analyze things and worries more than we wish he would. It's been fun this school year to watch his friendships develop and grow deeper- I love that these are the friends he will have through these elementary school years. He has turned into quite the sports fanatic and loves basketball, baseball, and soccer. He is a patient and loving older brother- Caroline and Henry both bask in his attention. We pray daily that he will continue to grow and learn and maintain his hunger for the Lord. While I miss the baby/toddler years with him, I am so very proud of the sweet boy he has become. Happy number 8 precious boy!
