Back In the Wagon Again

Andrew still has trouble making it through a walk without falling asleep.  Nathan is missing from this photo, because he likes to ride half way and then prefers to get out to investigate what else is in the world.  We determine half way when Nathan decides he’s finished riding.  Notice my newest mechanical innovation.  I’ve added an extension onto the handle of the wagon.  With my 3+” shoes, it needed to be longer.

It’s getting harder to get a picture of Nathan.  He doesn’t stay in one place for very long.

Andrew is enjoying Mary’s slippers.  Her feet aren’t much bigger than his, so they fit much better than Gramma’s.  Gramma’s pearls are just perfect, though.   

Gramma's Mechanical Intuition

  

Good thing Gramma is mechanically intuitive; as long as it doesn’t plug into a wall.  This creation was made by using the handrails of the front porch.  Nathan is always ready to try something new.  Andrew isn’t so sure Gramma has worked out all the kinks and likes to have Nathan go first.

Nathan may be smaller, but he tries to use every inch available.  This is a picture of his ballet toes.  He is standing on the top side of his toes in order to reach a little higher.  We’re looking forward to his first performance of The Nutcracker

Nathan One Ups Grampa

Nathan has reached a new level in his development.  He can pull himself up onto any chair, couch, coffee table, etc.  Grandpa’s computer is a big draw, since it seems to occupy so much of his time.  Grandpa, always trying to be a step ahead, no longer pushes his chair in to his desk, where small boys could get into serious trouble.  

Nathan, showing genetic material from his Aunt Rebecca, is always ready to rise to Grandpa’s challenges.  If there’s a road block, it must mean something wonderful is behind it.  Rebecca had a t-shirt with one of her favorite mottos; “Rules are made to be broken.” 

Notice the distance from the chair to the desk.

Look at those toes, giving additional lift.  He will be outstanding at ballet (another hereditary thing from Rebecca).

Final Score:  Nathan 1 Grandpa 0

Fog Cutters

   

The boys’ first Friday night fish fry.  We all went to Matt and Megan’s favorite hangout.  You buy beer by the bucket, but there are no buckets.  It’s a dive, but there’s no water. 

The boys’ enjoyed the onion rings the most.  Can you believe Gramma allowed that?  Well, what happens at Gramma’s stays at Gramma’s.

It was a very good time!  And I’m soooo full.
