Happy 4th Birthday, Nathan!!

Four years ago today, Nathan decided to surprise us all with his birth.  We still cannot believe everything we have already experienced with our little angel.  Nathan continues to keep us on our toes and each and every day brings something new.  Nathan is one sweet little boy who continues to make us so very proud with all of his accomplishments.  I have learned more in the past four years from Nathan than I ever could have imagined.  Nathan is such a blessing to our family and we wish him the happiest of birthdays!!

Even though the weather didn't hold up for us, we didn't let that slow us down any.  We had a day full of birthday fun planned for our birthday boy :)

After church, we celebrated with lunch at Culver's - Nathan could eat chicken nuggets and french fries any day of the week.  In fact, whenever we go out to eat, Nathan is immediately requesting "chicken nuggets" as we are sitting down :)

After lunch, we headed to the Zoo for the Penguin Parade.  Even though it was misting and umbrellas were necessary, it was worth every minute!!  Those penguins are so cute and just waddle along without a care in the world :)

This little guy loved all of the attention :)

 

Andrew and Nathan waiting for the penguins to walk right in front of us.

He was not even a foot from us!!

Bringing up the rear.

 

After the penguins were back inside, we decided to hit most of the houses and covered areas.

Checking out the new sea lion exhibit.

The boys couldn't get enough - they would have sat there for hours!!

Lots of action to watch.

Our birthday boy - all smiles :)

 

After the Zoo, we headed over to Gigi and PaPa's for dinner and to say good-bye.  Gigi and PaPa are heading to Florida for vacation and Uncle Todd, Aunt Laura and Mary are moving up East until eventually settling outside of Chicago.  We sure are going to miss everyone!!
