Books are fun


Nathan loves listening to these Disney books on tape! They are Jeremy's old books from when he was little. The only problem? Our tape player isn't working right and where do you buy a new tape player? Many of the tapes are also not sounding so good either. Well, if these last through Elizabeth, they will have served 2 generations well! Yes, both kids are eating pickles-just like their Dad.


Hmm...which to choose? Sometimes, I'll just start reciting lines from different books. She'll go over to her bookshelf and bring me the correct book. It's so cute!


When we're done reading, it's time to ride the zebra! And yes, she has to wear long sleeves under her short sleeve shirts. Her eczema is so bad that if she access to her skin, she just itches it until it's bleeding. And it makes her terribly uncomfortable. I don't know what's going to happen once warm weather hits. At least that is another 3 months off. Hopefully, her eczema will be better by then?

He almost gets it...

I'm trying to get better at quickly writing down cute things Nathan says.

Today, I was talking about some old baby stuff I didn't know what to do with.

Nathan said, "You should take it to Another Hand Store."

He meant a "Second hand store."

It makes sense though. Aren't a second hand and another hand the same thing?

Springtime Playing

March means springtime temperatures in the mid-upper 40's. This means we can finally go play outside again for more than 10 minutes at a time! We've got the sandbox uncovered. The swings are ready to go. Nathan has been helping Jeremy trim and cut down trees. Elizabeth is getting very steady on her feet so she's enjoying being outside more and more.

Elizabeth thought eating sand was a good idea, but quickly changed her mind.

Last Day of School 12th Grade

  Nathan had his last day of high school!   We took these pictures right after he got home from school. At the end of the day, he got to go ...
