A Few Quick Ones

I just have a few things to post. Nathan and I are heading out to Pennsylvania this weekend and you know how I like to at least be caught up BEFORE a trip! Because I know I will have a ton to go through after :) Prayers for our trip would be appreciated. I'm not looking forward to the "trip" part of it without Matt. Here goes a 3.5 hour and 4.5 hour (on the way back) with a lap child! I just keep telling myself that it will be all over once it's over. And I will have survived...so will the other people on the plane! Hoping for a very empty plane where they let me bring his car seat on because he will be guaranteed his own seat. Then, if it goes like the trip back from Indy, he would sleep!!! I'm still reserving the right to cancel or postpone the trip...so we'll see how we're feeling Saturday morning! :) But there is one little boy who has TWO soccer games while we would be home...and I'd really like to watch him play!

Anyway, here's a picture of the framed pics of Nathan on our living room walls!

I really love how they turned out. It's a nice clean look.

Sorry for the weird angles, I was trying to prevent glare on the pictures.

And one over here:

It looks way too small for this area in the picture, but it looks good in person!

Another view, with glare!

We got a little bit of snow this weekend. (I do mean a little because it is all gone already!) So Matt went out to try out his "free" blower that came with his weed eater from Home Depot. Nathan of course, had to join him!

The blower wasn't too powerful as we expected. I mean come on, it WAS free! Nathan was still entertained!

Nathan likes wearing daddy's head lamp. I was trying to take a quick picture but Matt mentioned the word "basement". All interest in pictures was down the tubes. Here he is running for Matt to pick him up so he can go to the basement.

Good times are had down here!

Matt and I were taking some measurements and looking around. Once we know more of what we are keeping for the house and not keeping, we are anxious to organize and get rid of a lot of things in our basement! We were talking about shelving options as well. Nathan was pretty content to play close to us :)

Matt captured Nathan's light with his pj's hiked up and his slippers on. He's too cute. He didn't change out of his PJ's all day! Oops. He wore them under his coat and sweats to go outside with daddy and to Home Depot, Lowe's and Target with both of us! After his bath before bed I did at least put him in some fresh Pajamas!

More with the light.

I still need to take an iron to the ottoman cover!

A short story about this ottoman He is such a monkey. The other night we had a couple over. I had classes with the guy in college and we ran into him, his wife and their little girl at the mall a few weeks ago! Anyway, Nathan was grunting and groaning and saying "Up! Up!" trying to get on this ottoman while they were over. Matt said, "Nathan, just step up onto the fireplace ledge first and you can get up." Nathan says, "Oh" and proceeds to march over to the ledge, steps up onto it and onto the ottoman. He makes me laugh so much sometimes. He was proud of himself too!

He loves making this face.

He wanted the red light on.

What a little clown and SMART too. Of course, he is our GREAT grandson. Love the pictures and the commentary. It is almost like being there.
