Five Teenagers?!!!!

Nathanael as a little baby....aww!

Our cowboy!
 It's official! I have FIVE teenagers in my home!!!! Is it possible?! Indeed it is, because thirteen years ago today, Nathanael Craig Houston was born into this world! Nathanael is a fun loving, tender spirited, hard working young man. Our lives have been blessed these 13 years. Five teens is the most we will ever have at one time as Naomi will enter her 20s just three days before Michael turns 13. Wow! I remember when Naomi turned 13, I mentioned how quickly everyone else would be catching up until we had five at one time....it has now arrived. I am feeling super blessed at this moment! I LOVE having teens in my home!!!

Nathanael chose biscuits and gravy, bacon, and eggs for breakfast. Lunch will be with Dad and Mom in Seattle, and dinner will be chicken alfredo.

A very Happy Birthday Nathanael! We love you sooooo much!!!!
Fun at the game

What a smile
 We pray you will be used greatly for the things of the Lord! Keep your eyes on Him and let Him guide you all along the way! You are turning out to be a fine young MAN!!! Wow. Thirteen.
A little ornery maybe?

Oh so handsome!

  5. Happy Birthday Nathanael!!! I pray you will always have your gentle sweet spirit and your friendly smile! I've often wondered if anything EVER "truly" bothers you. Hope you have a GREAT day celebrating with your family!

    WOW! Five teens at once. The most we ever had is 4 because, like in your family, 2 birthdays missed each other. So, it will only ever be a max of 5? I have forgotten the age differences of the younger ones. Have fun! Hugs, Grace
