Hudson is our youngest and is such a character. He makes us laugh all the time. He is starting to talk up a storm and is getting into everything. He will be 21 months in a couple of weeks. I can't believe how he has grown so fast. I think since he is our third and last child it seems he has grown the quickest. It is very sad. But it is fun watching him grow up and discover new things each day. He loves his big sis so much. If Mommy can't give him the attention he wants at the moment he quickly goes to Nina, who is usually there to give him the attention. He loves going into her room and dancing with her when she has her music on. Nina also usually changes diapers too, as long as they are not dirty ones. She is a big help. Nathan and Hudson usually get along. I can sometimes find Hudson on the floor next to Nathan in Nathan's room with the video game controller in his hand. He thinks he is playing the game too. It is so cute to see them next to each other. Sometimes Nathan knows how to aggravate Hudson and Hudson will let him know if he is getting to him. But they are brothers and I know that's not the only teasing I will see, there will be a lot more in the future. Having two children was great but Hudson surely completed our family when he arrived and we love him so much.

Nathan is the clown in our family. He is always making us laugh. He will be turning 7 this month. He is such a loving boy and is always there to give Mom and Dad a hug. He started taking Tae Kwon Do this past October and has recently earned his yellow belt. We are very proud of him because he takes it so seriously and he always strives to do his best in his classes. He also recently took up BMX racing and had his first race a couple of Fridays ago and won. I think that has been the highlight of his year so far. You should have seen his face when his first trophy was handed to him. I think he slept with it his first night. Nathan also loves the Lord and always looks forward to going to Sunday School and going to Awana. Nathan's favorite things to do are BMX racing, Tae Kwon Do, playing video games, hanging out with his friend Keegan, and just hanging out in his room.

Nina Grace is our sweet 9 year old girl. She is such a help to me and always helps out with her youngest brother Hudson. She has been taking dance since she was 3 years old and each year she just keeps getting better and better. She cannot wait till she can take pointe. She no longer is a little girl and she is changing so much as she keeps getting older. She is your typical 9 year old. She loves listening to music in her room, reading, clothes, talking on the phone with her friends, and watching her favorite shows (Little House on the Prairie, The Waltons, I Love Lucy, and Hannah Montana). She loves the Lord very much and has recently made the decision to get baptized. It is so awesome to watch your children grow in the Lord and seek to do His will. We are very proud of her.
