THE UNIQUENESS OF NATHAN:
He is an avid reader (I call him "the professor").
He is a movie buff, but gets a little pouty if he can't have
popcorn and a large Diet Coke during.
He is learning to play the guitar with Jake.
He has mad love for:
He is a lover of nature.
He loves to ski, waterski, surf, golf, and motorcycle-
as long as he's doing it with his kids.
He's an opptimist.
He thinks he brought back-
(we don't have the heart to tell him otherwise.)
He loves black licorice.
He has the BEST legs ever and he knows how to use them.
He's an awesome G-pa!
He makes our bed every morning (since he's the last one out).
He is super, duper too smart for his own good.
He's very philisophical- he enjoys quotes like:
"The truth is, we know so little about life,
we don't really know what the good news
is and what the bad news is." -Kurt Vonnegut
He is a loyal friend.
He is a really great dad and will do ANYTHING for his family.
He can eat anything he wants and not gain weight.
He is a bit of a free spirit.
He coughs when he laughs.
He has a thing for things that start with
"B"
boxes, bags, books, bungis, brief cases, bras, that's enough.
He thinks he can speak like 5 different languages but he really can't.
(It is funny when he tries though)
He thinks he still has "dark" hair. He recently had an argument with the DMV when they made him change Hair color: from "Dark" to "Gray" on his Drivers license.
He is patient, kind and loving.
and bonus...
He's MINE!
There's nothing like the doorbell ringing late at night when your teenagers are out on the prowl. Tonight Jake (aka the Golden One)had tons of friends over. The house that was rocking and rolling became all at once silent and Nathan and I said- "I wonder where the kids went?" Then the door bell rang and we almost instinctively knew there was trouble. (Seasoned parenting!) As it turned out, it wasn't the police but a concerned neighbor who said that the police were talking to Jake and his friends. With a long sigh, Nathan got up and got dressed and headed out. (I told him to grab a stack of business cards!) To make a long story short, Jacob's group was outside and had seen some skater kids put a construction cone in the street, which a car hit, and then alerted the cops, who then wanted to talk to Jake and his friends. It's all fine now but the thought of navigating through the next 3 years has given me a bit of ANXIETY!
