We took the kids to the local indoor playground to celebrate Nolan’s birthday. This was his request. He and Lincoln had a pretty good time. Afterward, we asked what the birthday boy wanted to eat for lunch and he decided on pancakes. We headed over to IHOP and stuffed our tummys. When we returned home, we let Nolan (with Lincoln’s help, of course) open his birthday presents. It was a laid back, family-filled, fun day!
Today, our bigger little man turns 4! I can hardly believe it! I’ve already spent some time reflecting back on the events of the day he came into the world 4 years ago. It was pretty crazy. My water broke as I drove to work, I ended up driving myself to the hospital (something Jake made me promise would never happen again,) I couldn’t find the admitting desk at the hospital and the volunteer at the front door was no help, and Jake couldn’t find me for at least 45 minutes once I was settled in the evaluation area. However, once we were situated in our hospital room and I had my epidural, everything else was smooth sailing. Nolan arrived in the early evening and I was instantly in love. But enough with the sappy reminiscing. 🙂
It’s been a fun 4 years, Nolan! Your daddy and I love you so much and are so proud of who you are becoming!
