The Following Transcript is an Actual Quote...

...any events depicted herein did in fact occur, and due to the disturbing nature of the content, reader discretion is advised.

A few days before Nate's birthday I was cutting his nails and he said the funniest thing:

“When you cut my nails I can’t pick my nose.”
I said, "Well you shouldn’t be doing that; you should use a Kleenex."
“But sometimes in the night I’m so hungry and all I have is boogers!”

Happy Birthday Nate!!

Grampy and Grammy came the weekend before Nate's birthday and we had a little family celebration. Thanks to Grammy for the cute airplanes on the cupcakes, and to Grampy for patiently helping Nate assemble (and reassemble) the erector set plane.


We invited Nate's two best buddies Ian (left) and Perry to celebrate on Nate's actual birthday.



Nate has inherited his Pappy and great-grandaddy Downing's extreme sweet tooth.
(I think Grampy Veerman may have also done his part.)


Erik took the boys to a nearby municipal airport to watch planes...
and play on the playground...


and roll down the hill.

A good time was had by all.
We love you Nate!! You're such a great boy!!

First Bowling Experience

Grammy and Grampy Veerman came for a visit last weekend. Right in the middle of two weeks of perfect spring weather we had 3 straight cold, rainy days (yes, the same 3 days they were here)! Oh well, besides celebrating Nate's birthday with them and reading LOTS of books we had a little bowling outing. Pretty good form, considering the smallest ball available was 8 lbs.
