Nathan's First Father's Day

We celebrated Nathan's first Father's Day on June 15th! Eli and I got him fishing supplies! How exciting huh? ;-) I also made him biscuits & gravy, eggs, and bacon for breakfast. He seemed to enjoy breakfast and liked his gift. We went over to my parent's house for dinner because Howard & Nancy were gone on a trip that day.

Nathan is such a wonderful father! He adores Eli and Eli, in return, just loves his daddy. He loves to tease Eli and scares him every chance he gets! (thankfully Eli thinks it's funny!) He is constantly showing him love by playing with him, changing his diaper (which also gives him brownie points with me!), worrying about him, and making sure he is provided for.

I couldn't ask for a better father for my children, and I am excited to see Nathan and Eli become the best of buds as the years go by. I am also excited as more kids come into the picture to see how each one is like Nathan and me, and to also see how their own personalities develop.

Being a parent is one of the most challenging things, but Nathan is a terrific one and makes it look so simple. I admire him for his patience and "go-with-the-flow" attitude. I hope to be more like him in my parenting skills.

Happy first Father's Day Nathan! I love you!
