Old friends

I located a couple of old friends via Facebook recently. One is a friend that I haven't talked to in over 8 years (I was PG with Ryan the last time I saw him). I stumbled upon his information, only to find out that he is now a photographer (something I didn't know about him before). We exchanged a few "catching up" emails, but it also got me to thinking about my own photography. I really miss spending time taking pictures for fun. I hardly ever do it, and I have two of the most amazing subjects at my disposal. Anyway, I whipped my camera out the other day and snapped a few pics of Nate. I need to take some of Ryan too. He is just plain pretty. I'm posting the pics I took of Nate, and then Ryan's recent school pic.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Updates on Nate

So "Dora the Explorer" is Nate's favorite show. And anyone with a child under the age of 5 knows... Dora speaks Spanish sometimes. Well, Nate's been counting to 10 and 20 for sometime now, but yesterday he mixed it up a little. He said "one, two, tree, catro, cinco, ses, seben, eight, nine, TEN!!! The boy is scary smart if you think about that for a minute. He just turned 2 1/2, mind you.

Oh, and apparently he is potty trained at school. Yeah. They want me to bring UNDERWEAR for him tomorrow. I find this freakin' hilarious since he has NEVER PEED OR POOED IN THE POTTY AT HOME!!! Nope. He refuses. I ask all the time and he says no. We need to figure this one out... and soon.

When I put Nate to bed at night, after our story I turn the lights out to rock with him for a few minutes before I put him in the bed. A few days ago, I asked him to sing some songs with me. He started singing the ABC song. I listened and he sang the entire thing by himself. There was nothing sweeter than listening to his sweet little voice as I rocked him in the dark. So now each night after we read a story I turn the lights off and we sing a few songs together. This is currently my favorite thing to do in the world. :-)
