Nathan just celebrated his 11th birthday! 

He is quite in love with the sport of soccer.  He LOVES to go to practice 3 times a week.  He LOVES his games.  He is constantly kicking his ball around the house trying out different moves.  So of course for his birthday he wanted this soccer movie, a soccer rebound net, another soccer ball, soccer shorts ... You get the picture.  Soccer is his life right now.

Stephen came up with a rebound soccer net.  I came up with a soccer cake.

 
He did get other things that weren't soccer related.  He finally got his i-pod docking station for his room and some i tunes giftcards to go with it.  Music is always ON when Nathan is around!

Nathan is very talented at soccer.  He is also a good basketball AND piano player.  He loves videogames and sports movies.  Math comes easy for him.  He has scored in the 98% on his national achievement tests IN math.  He is a very sweet boy.  I love how he interacts with the little girls or with our pets.  He just has a gentleness about him.  Yet, Nathan can also be quite intense at times.  He is very time conscientious.  And have I said yet that he LOVES soccer?!?

We sure love you Nathan and are so blessed to have you in our family!
