Today is Nate's day! Grandson Nate is now five years old. To choose a tie for me to wear, Jonathan sat down with him to look at my collection (through my tie blog), but "he knew as soon as I asked which one he wanted. He wants the snowman that sparkles/light up because 'I love it when it lights up!'" We had a FaceTime call with him early today to watch him open our gifts (heavily themed with Batman and other superheroes) and to let him see my tie in action. Trivium: one of Nate's middle names is Howland, my mother's middle name, which was given to her to honor a family dear to her parents.
