Trip to Indiana

Well, we're finally unpacked from our trip to Indiana. We had a great time with all the family. Riley and Owen just went nuts having a baby around them, and they did such a great job of being big cousins to him. In fact, I think Nate learned how to go from walk to run by just trying to keep up with them.

Mom had us all go out to a photo place and get pictures of all her family together. You'll see a few of those in the slideshow below. Even though Nate wasn't feeling real good, he still gave such great smiles.

We even had a moment to have lunch with Dad and Debbie, where Nate had a great time playing with his grandparents and the puzzle he got from them.

The flight home was a little interesting, but we made it and are now home. Hope you enjoy the pictures!

Happy New Year!!!

WOOHOO! 2009! We can't wait to see what the new year brings us. May God bless you and keep you in His arms this year!

Nate at 14 Months

As we get ready for the new year, I decided to take a look back and see Nate grow up from infant to walking boy. This is the picture album you see in the sidebar to the left.

Meli's Piano Rectial

Last Sunday, Melissa had her piano studio's recital at the local Methodist church. She only teaches a few people, so we were able to keep it small and special for everyone. Being a Christmas recital, I decided to try something totally crazy. I made my first foray into trying to buy clothes for my wife. I presented her with an early Christmas present of a dress and all the accessories for her to wear to the recital. She did a great job of playing her jazz version of Jingle Bells. She has always had a struggle with jazz, so I was so proud of her.

Nathan even got in the act a little, with people presenting him with Christmas gifts. He loves to play with the alphabet blocks he got from one student.

Merry Christmas!
