State Fair and Pool Fun

I see you! Fun on the playground...
This video starts out a little blurry, but stay with it until the end - priceless! :)

Nathan's Welcome Home Party

Nathan had a "welcome home" party on June 14. My niece Samantha recently sent me some great pictures from the party. Here, we are opening Nathan's See-N-Say.

For everyone who was there, they know the story of the pig. If you squint hard (or just click on the picture) you can see the little pig peeking out of my friend Joanne's gift for Nathan. This little stuffed animal has become the best friend of our little guy. He takes it everywhere and LOVES it! We had tried every stuffed animal on the planet, but nothing took. He still ignores all others but this one.

A boy and his pig - LOVE!

In pig heaven....

Daddy and Nathan playing with the pig...

The day after the party, we all went down to Bloomington to visit my sister Becky and hubby Pat in their new house. It is beautiful. These trees are their backyard view. This is Cory, my niece Samantha (yes, she's the same age as me), my great-niece Elizabeth, me, Nathan & Matt.

These are my sisters. Becky, Amy and Melissa. I included another picture below because this was the best one of Nathan, but not of all of us.

P.S. I didn't get any good pictures at the State Fair, but I will post a few on the next entry. Nathan really enjoyed the cows. And, the pigs, of course. :) And, our camera is on the fritz (blurry for some reason). So, I guess I'll just be posting movies because they aren't blurry. Until next time...

This is the face of a happy boy who got to eat Cinnamon toast crunch all by himself with his new light up spoon (from Aunt Becky), while sitting in a big boy chair. Feel the joy.... :)

Happy Birthday to me!

Yes, today is my birthday. My sister Becky came up from Bloomington and we had a good lunch at Stir Crazy. Yum! Thanks Becky!

This past Saturday, Nathan, Emily, me and my sister Melissa went to the Indianapolis Zoo. Above is our train ride picture. Nathan loved it all, but he especially liked the penquins, sharks, and all the fish. He was mesmerized by the Dolphin show. The monkeys were not in the mood to come down and entertain us, but he got to see a few. He petted a goat and liked the chickens. We're going to the State Fair this weekend so I'm sure we'll have more pictures from that "Nathan adventure." :)

Fun in the water with aunt "Bwessa" (Melissa).
Nathan at bath time in his favorite laundry basket. We are still using that because he feels secure in there.

I'll blog again this weekend, after the fair. Thanks for stopping by. :)
