Happy 4th Birthday, Nate!!!!

We had a celebration on Father's Day in south Denver

Pirate's Cove water park was so fun for Nate

Alexander had fun too.

We then met Barb, Gene, Ali, and Matt at the park next door for little more celebrating. Here, he's checking out his cake with his new light/magnifier.

Learning new things

We are keeping our energetic boy active this summer! This is his first soccer class. He will go once a week for 2 months. He LOVES it.

Bear crawling excercise

1st time on Roller Skates

I am so proud of Nate working through a very challenging morning of learning this new skill. He almost gave up when he could barely stand on skates but he was determined. After a little break, he got back out there and figured it out! He is really growing up....learning about himself, what his limitations are, and how to work through them to accomplish a goal!
