A Moment I’ll Never Forget

June 18, 2008 in Family, Nathan, Personal Growth with 0 Comments

As a Dad, there are lots of things that Nathan does that I hope to remember forever. Then there are some things that I know I’ll never forget. One of those things happened last Saturday morning, and it was better than any Father’s Day gift I could have gotten.

Friday night, I flew to Miami after 12 days out of the country. Saturday morning, I arrived just in time for the beginning of Nathan’s first t-ball practice. I walked up to the field from the car, and our eyes met. He came running around the corner and across the bridge that leads to the field. When he got to me, I could see him holding back tears. He was so happy to see me, and it felt so good to hug my little boy.

I’ll never forget his little face in that moment. I hope that he’s always that happy to see me after I’ve been away for awhile. Regardless of how great the trip is, the best part about going on any trip is coming home and seeing my family again.

A Quick Easter Update

We went to church at Capital City Baptist Church, and English speaking church in Mexico City, since Easter isn’t celebrated that much in Mexican churches. It seems like Good Friday is celebrated more here than Easter Sunday.

We invited two students from the Seminary over for Easter dinner, and we tried to explain to them how we celebrate Easter in the USA. We had great food, great company, and lots of fun playing with Nathan’s Easter present.

Here are some home video clips from Easter.

In case you haven’t already heard, we’re having another baby! Nathan is going to be a brother. We went to the doctor yesterday to have a 4D ultrasound, and they told us that it’s a boy. So, we’re thinking of names and getting ready for his arrival. The due date is August 1.

Janell is feeling fine. She has been tired, but not really been very sick. Nathan is excited that there’s a baby in mommy’s belly, and he’s going to be an excellent big brother. I’m excited, too, thinking about what a privilege it is to have another child.

Here’s a video of the 4D ultrasound.
