Dear Nolan love Mimi and grandpa

Happy 1^st Birthday, Nolan!

We are so excited to wish you a very Happy Birthday, Nolan.  You have added so much fun to our family.  Grandpa and I were so anxious to hear of your birth the morning of August 18, 2014.  We knew we had to get to work but we wanted to know you were safely here on Earth.  We are so glad that Heavenly Father sent you to our family.  We were happy to get to see you each week as we skyped on our computer with you but we couldn’t wait to get to meet you in person.  We were so happy to fly to Tennessee on November 22, 2014 for your baby blessing.

It was a joy to hold you for the first time and look into your sweet face.  Grandpa and I both agree that you were the most beautiful baby. Grandpa felt honored to join your Daddy and your Eaton relatives in the blessing circle.  It brought tears to our eyes to witness another little Adamson baby be blessed by the priesthood of God.

We spent a fun week getting to know you and spending time with your whole family. We celebrated Elijah’s birthday and also took a trip to Pigeon Forge with you but you won’t remember any of that fun.  We also set up the Christmas tree and celebrated early so we could give you your presents in person. I think you liked the wrapping paper best!

We are sad that we live so far away from you but we look forward each week to seeing you on the computer as we skype.  We have watched you grow up and learn to roll over and sit up as well as crawl all over the place. We get excited when it is summer and we know you are coming to see us.

This past June and July you and your family spent 3 weeks here in California with us.  We were so happy!  While some of your family went to Disneyland, you got to stay with us for 4 days because you really were too little to go.  You were such a good baby although you almost wore us out! You crawled everywhere and climbed behind everything.  You pulled out every book, magazine, and DVD you could reach.  You were one busy boy! But we loved having you here.  You giggled and laughed and added so much joy to our hearts. 

We took you to the Pacific Ocean for your very first time.  You liked it!  You got your toes wet in the waves and had fun in the sand. You were a happy beach baby! We also went to Calaveras Big Trees.  It was a wonderful day to spend time together. We also celebrated the 4^th of July as well as Mimi’s and Mommy’s birthday.

You got a lot of attention while you were at our house.  Uncle Bryant and Aunt Julie were here also and along with Grandpa and me, we all took turns helping you practice your walking.  You loved to do it and within a few days of going home, you got pretty good at walking.

We can’t believe you are already one year old!  You are a sweet boy and we love to hear you laugh.  We’ve also heard your high pitched shrieking but we love you anyway!  Ha ha!  Be a good boy and always remember…we love our little Nolan LeGrand Adamson!         

All our love, Grandpa, Mimi, and Uncle Bryant                                         August 2015
