Christmas morning

It was a great morning ... I heard the pitter patter of feet checking the tree before waking us up :) He was super excited, but he didn't know if the bike was for him because it had a purse on it also :/ Santa left the bike and purse together since they were the big surprise gifts! we had such a great time and enjoyed our Christmas, it was truly a joy of the Blessed Child Jesus. Katch-katch even got a new toy, so did Bun-bun and Chick-Bob ... they were all so happy with their new toys just like Natie was ;)

Gentle Jesus, meek and mild, look upon a little child. Make me gentle, as thou art. Come and live within my Heart. Take this childish hand in Thine, guide these little feet of mine. So shall all my happy days, Sing your pleasant song of Praise and the world shall always see, Chtrist, the Holy Child in Me. Amen.

some Christmas Eve presents

Just a few gifts on Christmas eve, thank you Julie and Roger, Chas and Jorge, Nana, Abue, Bianc and Briann ...

the Shepherd

The most handsome Shepherd leading the sheep to Baby Jesus!! Nate is still upset he didn't have a staff and told me we need to get there earlier next year so he can get a stick because it is very important to the shepherds job :/ Oh my Natie, you have such opinions :)

the Aftermath of the Christmas Program

After the program, the boys all ended up sitting together. Shane even taught Nate how to play Rock, Paper, Scissors!

the Christmas Program

Oh my Natie ... he did a great job singing Jingle Bells and playing his bells :) He was more interested in chewing his gum though during the other song. As you can see, he is sooooo interested ... oh my Natie, but he did tell me where everyone was sitting and who he saw, bad guys watch out, Nate can scope out a scene like nobodys business!

Randomness...

beautiful, beautiful children, that make me laugh and keep me going!!!!! LOVE YOU :)

Absolutely Handsome :)

These pics are wonderful! Thank you Grace :)

Nate's school pics.

It has been a great nine weeks of school. Nate has had a great time and learning so much especially how to spell "Nathaniel". He is also obsessed with numbers and continuously asks whats one plus one? then we answer 2. Whats 2+2? 4. Whats 4+4? .... so on and so on to the hundreds!!

Life has been so busy but so much fun. Nate was Captain America for halloween, a little opa for Wurstfest and every day he is a little energetic Nate with so much fun. His other favorite thing to do is to tell jokes :D his two favorite jokes are: why did the skeleton not cross the road? he didn't have guts! -- Knock, knock ... Who's there ... Boo ... boo-hoo. don't cry its just a joke :D :D :D Oh my Natie! Love him!

Sash is having a great time in college and doing well :) What did we expect from my Sash :D She is loving her Salsa class, haha, she knows not to take it again :D

more soccer

Nate had a great time at his first soccer game. I hope you can come out and enjoy the fun with us :)

Soccer Season

Nate started soccer this year for the first time. he had his first game and had a blast. He was upset at the end because he didn't make a goal. He played well and had lots of fun other than that little meltdown.

Nate the Great
