Goodbye March

Well March is almost over. It has a busy month. Lets see, 3 birthdays, a nervous breakdown, Lucy starting school and Oliver toilet trained. Yep it's a busy one. So just because Nate and I (the only non March birthdays) are feeling a little left out, here is some photos of us to end March with.  He is 4 months old now, he isn't sleeping through the night anymore (sigh) but we'll leave that challenge for another month.

When we were pregnant with him, Marcus and I prayed for a baby with a quiet, gentle spirit. kind of as a joke at first because our other two children were so loud and forthright. But then as we were looking at names, we'd always check the meaning to see if ones we liked had meanings along the lines of "kind and peaceful soul." 

We ended up deciding on Nathan which is Hebrew for Gift of God.

And he is such a precious Gift from God. I almost hate to jinx it but so far he is proving to be that quiet peaceful gentle soul that we prayed for. I am reminded every time I kiss that fussy little head that our God is sovereign and knew exactly what he was doing when he gifted us Nate.

P.s. I do realise that Oliver been toilet trained warrants a post in itself which I will do, but until then I bet you 5 bucks you couldn't look at that last photo and not smile back. He's contagious!
