Easter Party

Nathan's class had an Easter Party at school. They also had an Easter egg hunt. Each kid decorated a pail and shovel and used them to gather their eggs.

Squeakquel

We took Nathan to his first movie. We saw Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel. Nathan was amazed the whole time. The first 15 minutes of the movie he was leaning forward in his chair. He loved it and can't wait to go back to see another movie.

He has his movie ticket.

More Snow!

We got some more snow. Nathan thinks this happens all the time.

Please Sponsor Us for March for Babies 2010

Hello Friends and Family-

It’s time again for March for Babies 2010 – April 17th! This is our 4th year to walk in the March for Babies benefitting the March of Dimes. We walk to raise money to prevent other parents from going through what our family has.

Our son, Nathan, was born 3 months premature on August 27th, 2006. He wasn't due until mid November and there I was at the end of August delivering him weighing just 2 pounds, 4 ounces. It was the scariest day of our lives.

We wouldn’t wish this feeling on anyone. The March of Dimes funds research to help find reasons for premature birth, prevent birth defects, and to reduce rates of infant mortality.

We're very happy to say that after two long months in the NICU, Nathan finally came home with us and is a very happy energetic 3 year old. The surfactant he received in the hospital to help him breathe was a direct result of research done by the March of Dimes. They continue to find ways to keep preemies alive and prevent preterm birth from happening.

This is why we walk…to prevent other parents from walking in our shoes. If you would like to support us in this effort, click HERE and you can donate towards our walk. Every donation helps . . . even just a dime!

Your donations are truly appreciated!

A Trip to the Mall

We took a trip to the mall and visited the Lego store. Nathan picked out a set of Legos and was very excited to get them home to open the box. He wanted to hold (more like drag) the bag all by himself. He wouldn't let anyone help him with the bag. He dragged it all over the mall, which caused a very large hole in the bottom of his bag. Nathan received many comments from the other shoppers about how cute he looked dragging his Lego bag behind him.

Nathan didn't even notice his bag got lighter and keep walking into the house. He didn't want to let go of the handles of the bag. Once inside the house he realized that his bag was empty and went out looking for the Legos.

Snow Day!!

We woke up this morning to a winter wonderland. Nathan "berry berry" wanted to play in it before he went to school. Since we don't get many days of snow, I couldn't say "no".







Nathan played for about a half hour in the snow with his Dad. We couldn't get him to come in the house and get dressed for school. He ended up being a few minutes late for school this morning but it was worth the fun.

Randy came home early from work and we all went outside to build a snowman. It had snowed all day long and was still snowing, so we had lots of snow to make a giant snowman.

Record breaking snowfall today for Texas!! It snowed for 16 hours! Official DFW measurement was 9.5 inches!! Fort Worth got 12 inches!!

Snowflakes Falling

This is another video of Nathan in Music class at school singing Snowflakes Falling. I love when his Music teacher, Miss Marilee, takes video of the kids singing.
