Easter!

Easter was fun for all this year! Nathan actually got to "hunt" for easter eggs and each egg had a car inside. This boy is mad for cars (he would probably sleep with them if I let him); it's pretty cute. But then Nana & Grandpa got him a sandbox, and oh boy! what fun we had then!

Spring is such a tease...

I don't know about the rest of you, but i am ready for spring. Nathan has had a runny nose for several months straight now. We went back to the doctor yesterday to find out he has bronchitis and yet another ear infection (second this month). I hope warm weather really does mean less runny noses. But Aaron and I made a hard choice in light of Nathan's rash of illnesses. We have decided to take him out of daycare completely. I work days, Aaron will work nights and Nathan will be (cross your fingers) well! Prayers are always welcome! Now on to the good part - the pictures!

Why do we really buy all these toys for our children? For my child, all it really takes is a box. Isn't that smile the most beautiful you have ever seen? It's the smile of oblivious joy, not knowing that in a few months, his little life is about to be turned upside down! But what fun it will be to have two of these smiles running around!

It almost looks like he's gearing up to tell a joke. Do you think he will be cursed with the same dry humor his grandfather and I share? for his sake, I hope not.

Train 'em early, train 'em right! So Aaron had the leaves raked into a nice pile. But apparently it is loads of fun to shuffle your feet through raked leaves and they were quickly scattered about. But then, my ever helpful son grabs the rake and actually starts to pile them up again. Yes, that pile next to the house was made by Nathan. I see Saturday morning lawn duty in his future!Form looks good! I think he's got it!


I always knew i would love my children. But no one can prepare you for the intensity of love you feel. That face brings tears to my eyes and makes my heart leap! What was life before him? And then I think, if we love our children this much then how much more significant is the phrase "Children of God"? If He loves me half as much as I love my children, then I truly don't deserve it, but am so thankful for it. Can I get an amen?

For Daddy

Daddy is out of town right now and has requested some up-to-date pictures of his boy. Daddy, as you can tell from these pictures, he is feeling much better. Much like his old self again. WE LOVE YOU DADDY!
