treasuring thursdays...

Thursdays are my special days. Little buddy comes to my apartment while Amanda and Tim are at small group. After a string of weekly commitments in the evenings, come Thursdays I'm definitely ready for a dose of little buddy. We eat dinner, color, play, giggle, jump, run, etc etc. I cherish these few hours a week. Not only because he's my only nephew (and pretty amazing if I do say so myself), but because there's something innately special about children. They're still (mostly) untainted by the world, still very curious, and growing and learning an exceptional rates. The innocence of a child is precious. And Nathan is such a loving little boy. Just thinking about him warms my heart, which often overflows in the form of tears. I really can't put into words the blessing that he is to me.

I love you little buddy!
