Nicholas turns eleven!

We are amazed at what a wonderful and caring young man Nicholas has turned into. Though he is 100% boy, loves playing basketball, football and golf, not to mention keeps up with his older brothers without missing a beat, he is truly one of the most caring and compassionate young men you could meet. We can't believe 11 years have passed so quickly and we cherish every moment we have with him:)

Eleven years ago, on a rainy Sunday afternoon at 1:10 pm Nicholas Blaine was born. Nicholas took his time deciding to come out and meet us, but when he arrived he was perfect! Ten fingers, ten toes and sweet as could be!

Where has the time gone ~ he was so little and couldn't have been any more perfect.

Pa-paw and Grandma surprised us and had been waiting in the waiting room ~ they were

just a little excited to come and meet their newest grandson.

Daniel and Jordan arrived later that afternoon to check out their little brother ~ they gave him

their kiss of approval and then went out to eat with Grandma and Pa-paw.

We are getting ready to go home ~ what an amazing early Christmas gift!

Daniel and Jordan were excited to have Nicholas home, however they wanted to make sure
that he wasn't the only thing that would be under the tree for them on Christmas morning:)



We went to Ft Meyers when Nicholas was 5 months old and had just gotten over the chicken pox that his brothers had so kindly shared with him. After being at home, in the house for 6 weeks with three boys, palm trees and sunny sky's were just what the doctor ordered.

Swimming with daddy for the very first time at Gulf Harbour.


Cuddle time with mom was one of his favorite things...

Can you tell where my blue eyes came from?
