Nate Outside

Summer Reading Program

Both Zoe and Nate participated in the Canton Library summer reading program, completed all of the requirements & got to select a free book along with other prizes.

Rock Wall

Zoe climbed the rock wall at the Canton Activity Crew parks program. She didn't make it all the way to the top (much to her disappointment), but she did try & she wasn't exactly wearing rock wall climbing shoes. "A" for effort.

Happy Birthday Nate!

Can't believe that my baby turned two today!

Earplugs

Today, Nate & I spent an hour outside - me reading magazine, he - just sitting and watching some construction that was going on. One of the thoughtful workers gave Nate some earplugs to wear.

Nate's Birthday Party

Cheese!!

"Roar!!", Nate says.

"Were you scared?", Rex says.

(Toy Story - Rex Dinosaur flashlight)

Honestly - does it get any cuter than this?

Thanks to all who came & we missed those who couldn't. Nate had a great party & loved all of his presents...well maybe he loved the toys a little more than the clothes, but he is two after all.

Ride

Shannon, Emily & Zoe (& Poppa Bailey) went for a quick ride in the Saunders *new* car.
Items they noted:

(1) They didn't have to wear seatbelts
(2) There was no air conditioning
(3) There was no radio or DvD player

Tent City

Created by Shannon, Emily & Zoe - future engineers?

Corn on the Cob

Nate had his 1st corn on the cob at dinner tonight. He was a big fan...

Night-Night

Nate just put this baby to bed, gave her kisses and turned out the lights. Too precious...especially since the baby is about 10 times too big for the bed - the bed is the orange and yellow part that her head doesn't even fit on. (Of course, I had to get the camera, turn on the lights & have him kiss the baby again to get a photo...and he did...many times...the baby's face is now a slobbery mess.)

Dear Nathan...

Dear Nathan,

Thank you being such a cute, loving little boy and for recently teaching me these things:

3:00am is the perfect time to strip off your PJ's & diaper & pee all over yourself and crib.
4:30am is the perfect time finally fall back asleep.
10:00am nap time is the perfect time to take off your pants & diaper and poop in your crib.
Crayons fit perfectly in between the plexi-glass & screen door.
If you look closely, you will see that there really is a ball almost everywhere.
While taking our morning walk, avoid walking by the playground otherwise things will not go well.

S'mores

That's a marshmallow, not milk mustache that Nate has...
