Today our beloved, funny, serious, crazy,  mature, hilarious, sensitive, wild, compassionate son turns twenty- three.   (Even though that is biologically impossible since I’m not old enough to have an adult son.)

Here are a few pictures to celebrate the son who made me a mom for the first time and has given me so much joy.

    Happy Birthday Nathan – you are truly blessed. I especially enjoyed the picture of you when you were a baby and your dad and you’re on the couch. You have your little hands clasped together and you’re gazing up at your dad in such a loving way. Love it.

    Happy birthday, Nathan! I hope you realize how large a group of people there is who love you vicariously through Mom’s blog! You have a host of fans, “Grandmas,” “Aunts” and friends who are all wishing you well today.

    Oh, my, I have so much to catch up on – wonderful news about the newest Smith – she looks adorable and will heal your heart well. I was gone for over a week – I was in charge of a large festival in Kirkwood, Mo and it was a great success! Lots of time with my grandson also – he was a great festival goer. Happy Birthday to Nathan – they grow up so fast. I will have to take a lot of time to read everything thoroughly but I have to dig through my desk and all the work, first! If I just didn’t need a paycheck!

    A man child to be proud of.

    since I knew that today is Nathan’s birthday, I used my Birthday Mug this morning for my coffee in his honor.
    always enjoy seeing the childhood photos.
