Happy 2nd Birthday Nate!

How has it been 2 years since Nathaniel was born?  It has been amazing having him as a part of our family.  We had such a hard time deciding on his name before he was born.  But the minute I saw him, I knew he needed to be Nathaniel James Earl.  Nathaniel means "Gift from God".  He has been one of our 4 favorite gifts (the other 3 being Jesus' sacrifice on the cross, Benjamin and Josephine).

We had a fun-filled day today celebrating Nate's big day.  Here are some pictures to recap!
