Happy Birthday Nathan!

Today is Nathan's golden Birthday (turning 14 on the 14th). It's been so long since Nathan has spent a birthday at home.  He's usually with grandparents during the summer, but not this year!  We started the day by taking Nathan out for breakfast, and ended with friends, pizza, cake, ice cream and a little local concert in the park.

Nathan has been great this last year, he is always helping out when he can and loves being a big brother.  Less arguing at chore time and a little improvement on keeping his room clean.  Still struggling in school, but not because school is too difficult, but because he's not finishing homework.  He really needs to step up going into 8th grade.  He is starting to like reading though which is great!  He will take turns with me reading to the kids at night, very cute, the kids love having Nathan read to them!
