Nathan is really excited about soccer this year, he looks so serious in this picture! The boy behind him I was really wondering if he had pee’ed his pants! But, I was talking to his Mom (she brought it up, NOT me!), that he constantly chews on his shirt when he is nervous. Its amazing… >> View Post
