This morning before Spanish class, we headed over to the first official day of the church garage sale. Nathan had his two dollars that he’s been itching to spend ever since David’s mom gave them to him. Nathan’s been on the hunt for a buzz lightyear figure, a Frank (from the Cars movie) and random…

Today was our playdate with Nathan’s pal, Cole and it was perrrfect for swimming! Nathan and Cole met during their class at the the Little Gym this past semester and are just a few days apart in age and they play remarkably well together. So after Spanish class this morning, we met for lunch at…

Lately with all of the Spanish classes that Nathan is in, he’s been more and more in touch with speaking in different languages at random times. We also use Spanish and Chinese out in public and pretend that it’s code word talk so that no one else understands us. Quite cool. Anyway, he’s quick to…

Not much time to blog lately but am super excited that the kids and I are going swimming with some friends today. It should be about 85 degrees and HOTTTTT!! Woo-hoo! Summer has arrived! I am a little nervous about Will and the water but hopefully he’ll be so hot he’ll just want to jump…

Nathan and William sure scored big-time with a Daddy like David. The #1 Dad ball cap Nathan picked out for him last year for Father’s Day sums it all up. David’s a #1 Dad for a number of reasons. I’ve never met a man who works so hard to provide and care for his family…

While sitting here munching on nuggets and mac ‘n cheese, Nathan just turned to me and said very matter-of-factly, “Mommy, you and Grammy are my precious girls.”

One of Nathan’s favorite activities is sitting down to work in one of his many dot-to-dot books. We’ve got dot-to-dot 1 to 10, 1 to 20 and 1 to 100. He does them all. Today he informed me that he wanted to show me a new way to do them. He dots backwards. So, he’ll…

Nathan is staying so busy this week that I fear I’ll wear him out! He’s continuing with this second week of Spanish class (which runs three days a week the entire month of June!) and he also has Vacation Bible School at church this week in the afternoons. Spanish runs from 9:30 untill 11 then…

Every time we visit the Farmstead, without fail, Nathan asks (more like begs) to go fishing. Most of the time we’re there with a group of friends or I am there with just the kids myself and so I have to tell him that he has to wait until someone can come along so they…

Today was my turn at hosting playgroup so I had planned for us to meet at David’s mom’s neighborhood pool since they have a way-super-cool waterslide. You might imagine my disappointment today when I realized it was only going to be seventy degrees – at best. What the heck happened to stinkin’ hot summers? It’s…
