This weekend was really busy, yet really awesome at the sametime… The real highlight of the weekend, was in fact that our dear dear friend Nate Snyder was in town, on leave from Iraq. The Cruickshank’s held a party in celebration of his holiday (he returns to fight for your freedom, in a little over a week, you’re welcome).
This was Nate’s first time meeting Ezekiel.
This was a pretty awesome moment, perhaps more so selfishly, for me. Ever since the Lord took Anthony home, before I had the chance to introduce him to Ezekiel, I’ve had a running check list of who I want my son to physically meet, be held by, etc. Nate is one of those guys who has been at the top of the list… Well, for almost nine months now.
He’s a natural. It wasn’t long before Nate was lugging the Ezekiel around. The pictures speak for themselves… Zeke was pretty happy studying Nate’s face, before showing him how to make peace signs mixed with some potential gang signs. We’re still trying to clear those up.
Keep Nate in your prayers. He recently became engaged to the girl of his dreams, and for this we are all happy as can be, and incredibly proud of our freedom fighter.
Nate, Thank You for keeping us safe… My family is incredibly grateful and indebted to your service, and are counting down the days til your return.
