This evening after Catechesis, we were driving home and Nathan informed me that in addition to praying for me, he had also prayed to God that he could come home and find his Buzz Lightyear toy that’s been missing since yesterday morning. He prayed that God would keep Buzz safe and that we would find…

Today David and I met with Nathan’s preschool teacher for his parent-teacher conference. I must say that although I was extremely pleased with Ms. Jan’s assessment of Nathan, it also scared the heck out of me. I had no idea it would lead to the discussion that it did. You see, Nathan has a September…

In following his Daddy’s footsteps, Nathan has created a new dish. Today after preschool I was getting ready to make lunch and asked Nathan what he wanted. He didn’t want the usual PB&J (I was shocked!) and told me to “just make it”. That usually means surprise him. Well, I really wasn’t in the mood…

Today was Nathan’s last soccer game of the Fall season. He’ll be able to sign up again in the Spring but for now he keeps asking if it’s time for The Little Gym to start back up again. I suppose since he has no activities that involve sports or physical movement now, AND since the…

Last year at the end of the winter season I bought a 2-pack package of footies for both Nathan and Will. I got 4T for Nathan and 18 months for Will. I am happy to report they fit like a charm! I have to admit that although I don’t care for winter or cold weather…

Nathan recently shared his version of being an astronaut. He’s probably going to go up and explore the planet Ruzini – his made up planet that he talks about all. THE. TIME.

Although the sun was shining today, I was still in a t-shirt, longsleeves, and jeans, and still cold. My throat has even been a little scratchy today. I will have to say that today was a great family day though. After Nathan’s violin lesson and Spanish class we headed home to pick up David and…

Today after school Nathan, Will, and I went on a bearhunt. Nathan busted out his binoculars and we followed him into the scary forest (family room) where the bears were hiding behind the brown toy box. We’d creep around the dining room wall behind Nathan all decked out in his binoculars then Nathan would yell,…

While driving home from Catechesis tonight, Nathan says to me from the back seat: “You make me so happy, Mommy. You make me love you and you make me love me.” I’ve said it once, I’ll say it again….he’s going to be a true romantic!
