Nolan is 8!

I can't believe Nolan is 8 today! When I first met Nolan he was 2 1/2 and this week he is going to be baptized. That is so exciting and I wish we could be there.

When Wes and I first moved to Florida after we were married we lived with his parents for a bit. When Nolan would could to visit he would always wander to our room to explore all the "stuff" that was crammed into that back room. We had map of the world on the wall and one time taught him that the big country was Russia. The next time he came to visit he pointed to the big country and in his 3 year old voice said "Rutcha". We thought he was the smartest kid in the world. We still think he's pretty smart. Have a happy birthday, we love you!

*the picture obviously is of a very much younger Nolan, but it's one of my favorites.
