Memorial Day

Yesterday was Memorial Day and we started off the day by heading to our local cemetery to show Nate the crosses that represent our veterans and pray with him. He has just started to ask to pray, which is cumbersome since he wants to pray every 5 minutes throughout a meal, but that is probably better than the opposite. His dad took him into the 67 degree pool and they cooled off after Dan's yard work that morning. It was a delightful day filled with friends at brunch and friends at the close of the day.

Easter!

Nate officially discovered Resurrection Sunday. Thanks to Aunt Lora for the great outfit! We're on our way to go over eat, but wanted to send these pics of his first Easter egg hunt out. The picture of Nate in the car seat is him saying "cheese!" Our friend Beth told him to say cheese when we were taking the family photo, but it came as a delayed reaction once he got into the car.

He loves his soccer Easter basket! He has just smeared chocolate on his shirt and tie, but it will all wash. We better get going before we find other candy to eat and wipe and on our clothes.

Updated Photos

Dad asked for more photos on the blog. Here are some pics of Nate at 17 months before his haircut and now 18 to 19 months old with his new look. I'll let you be the judge.

Winter Ice Storm

Here are some pics in case some of you were wondering what it was like during that big ice storm. As you can see from the first photo, it was a lot of smiles as well as a few worries. I also posted photos of Nate from December on Facebook. Due to the ice storm, Grace was delayed in getting them to us (which anyone who experienced the storm understands). Nate has already changed so much since those photos were taken! Here are a few of pics to give you an idea of what it looked like.

It's Fall in Kentucky

As fall approaches so does our annual Trunk-or-Treat at the local park. This year we will be the "Pumpkin Spice Coffee" car. Dan will serve the coffee, I will be the spice, and Nate's the pumpkin. In all actuality we'll be handing out candy to the kids and giving coffee with pumpkin spice creamer to the parents. It should be fun!
