I've noticed that the older Nick gets, the more time he spends in his room or with his friends. The days of hanging out with mom all the time are all over. As much as this saddens me, I know that it is a normal part of growing up. Maybe it's because I only have on child, or perhaps it wouldn't matter if I had 19 (like a certain family in northern Arkansas), but when I take a minute to think about all the ways Nick is growing up and changing it makes me a bit melancholy and nostalgic for the days when he was little and I was the most important person in his world.
Whew, that sounded sappy, huh. Well, I was having one of those previously mentioned moments the other day and started looking through some old photos. I thought I'd share some of my favorites. Don't be fooled though...this blog may be written for an audience, but these photos are strictly for my benefit! (It gives me a chance to show off my handsome son!!)
This first photo was taken when Nick was only 2. I can't get over how blonde he was at this age when his hair is so dark now.

| Nick on Tucky - Pipe Creek, TX, age 2 |
I took Nick to California to go to Disneyland for his 8th birthday. We stayed with my cousin's family and had a blast! Coincidently, her son's birthday is the day after Nick's (4 years older), so the boys celebrated together
