My FOUR year old...

How can it be that I have a FOUR year old little boy?

Four years ago Mark and I were just starting this
whole family thing...
and now today,
1, 460 days later we have 3 handsome little guys, a house full of hustle and bustle, and more love than we could have ever imagined!

And it all started with this guy...
Nolan Bradley Jansen

This boy who has the BEST heart. He's sensitive, creative, imaginative, funny, silly, stubborn, cautious, and oh so smart!

He is such a great big brother. He is thoughtful and helpful.

He has the cutest laugh! His big blue eyes light up any room and his toothy smile is absolutely adorable!

He loves animals and loves to sing!

Lately, he is our "bottomless pit", with mini pancakes and fruit being his favorite foods!

He goes to preschool 4 mornings a week and attends Awana on Wednesday nights.

He enjoys reading and rough housing with his Daddy.

He soaks up any one-on-one time ANYONE wants to give him! Come along side him and play and he will talk your ear off! This is his happy place for sure!

But, most importantly...he's OURS! How did we get so blessed!

Today we are spending his day doing some of his favorite things and we are having so much fun! He has smiled ear to ear all day long!

Here is a little video we shot of him last night before bed...Nolan Bradley age 4!

N.B.J. we just love you so much! You were made perfect in God's image and we could not imagine life without you. We can't wait to see what year 4 has in store for you!

Loved your video, Noan, and love you lots and lots! I love that your favorite color is green -- Auntie's is too! And Trey and Rowan love that you watch Umizoomi because that's one of their very favorites too! We hope that you had the BEST day, complete with donuts and McDonald's and FroYo and everything that makes you happy! HUGS!!!

Good interview, Nolan! It is so fun to see you getting big and telling us what your favorite things are. It's also very easy to see that you are an active guy who wants to be on the go :). Hope you had a fantastic birthday! Love you all so much!
