Visit from Aunt Hilary

His fairy godmother came to see him and he was all smiles! Hilary and Tim came for a visit...we played Pass the Pigs and I cried laughing.

The Big Helper

I know all babies go through this phase, but it's still so fun to watch. Part of his daily routine includes opening the one hundred cabinets in our kitchen one by one so he can hear them open and shut. Just a normal routine check. One cabinet has my spices and baking goods...he got into the baking powder, dropped it on his foot and the floor. Cried. Went to the side of the fridge, got out the broom and started sweeping it up. I had a good laugh...his meager but truly meaningful attempts to help clean it up. haha I loved it.

Hike at the Lake

Yesterday, we enjoyed the great outdoors and went for a family hike. It was perfect weather and of course Nicholas was outdoors and happy. He made us smell all the flowers. I'm sore from walking, but it was wonderfully refreshing. Let's see...while exploring we saw the remains of a dead baby dear, badger holes, and giant pelicans out on the lake that looked like small boats. My little nature experience in Kansas.

Little Green Kermit Feet

Andrew didn't put shoes on him at first so his little feet were good and green when I got out there. I wanted to eat them.

Mown' with Dad

I just melted watching him mow the entire lawn holding Andrew's hand. He absolutely loves mowing and was perfectly content to be alongside his daddy. So precious.
