The birth of the one we call NATE

It's true, we celebrated yet another year that Nate has graced us with his presence here on earth. In return, my very special gift to him was the gift of life- not to be confused with the gift of creating new life...
no, that task was accomplished about 7 & 1/2 months ago.

The best possible gift I could think of was carrying his spawn for 40 long weeks and gaining enough poundage to way that of a small baby elephant. I think that's a pretty good gift.

The other gift I gave was paying homage to THE VEST and sharing his/my blog vestimonial with the scottEvest community. THIS made his day... possibly even his year... and maybe behind closed doors, he even shed a tear or two of joy. One will never know.


All in all I think it was a decent birthday. How could it not be with waking up to a pile of hand made cards and I love you's, a fresh box of donuts, a cold crisp bottle of Dr. Pepper, and your 3 favorite kids waiting to scream "Happy Birthday Dad!"?
