I can’t believe how busy that last month has been for us. Let’s start backwards, shall we? David left last night for the first of two weeks in San Diego. I’m playing the role of single mom while he starts his new job. Eek for all three of us!!
We got home this weekend from a week in North Carolina celebrating David’s dad’s 75th birthday. We thought Nathan would love the beach so we – and by “we” I mean “me” – convinced ourselves he would actually hate it. He started bawling when I set him down in the sand. Ha! I thought to myself, I love it when I’m right. Yeah. Turns out he was pissed that we didn’t head straight for the Atlantic Ocean. He grabbed my fingers and off he went! He got knocked on his bottom by a wave and got back up and continued heading out. David was the voice of reason, or Big Meanie – either/or – and so we all romped merrily just at the water’s edge. It was special being out there for George’s birthday this year as he was just here celebrating Nathan’s 1st birthday. They were able to share each other’s milestone birthdays!
Right before North Carolina – and by right before I mean the afternoon of our redeye flight – Nathan decided to stand up and walk across the room. Like he had been doing it his whole life! Crazy baby! Of course, now he is also sporting his first black eye having run head first into a chair while at Grandpa’s birthday party.
Before North Carolina and the walking a big chunk of time was spent in Denver house hunting. It was a fruitful trip as we found one we adore. Below our budget. In a great neighborhood. We can walk to the zoo! Pictures to follow.
Before Denver I entered a Pay It Forward contest and won!! Minnie at Thank you for not being perky sent the most excellent package! Nary a thing from the dollar bins at Target! Everything is beautiful and it was all wonderfully wrapped. Nathan immediately appropriated the frog that croaks. I have pictures of it, but they are on my laptop that is sitting in Apple’s repair depot. Thank you, Minnie!!
