Trouble Child

Nathan is well on his way to becoming a fantastic runner as seen from his sprint from the footstool to the couch. His current distance record is five steps, though he is eager to do a double step whenever the opportunity provides a short transversal distance. Despite our pretended disappointment in his blooming new mode of transportation, we are actually very thrilled that he is walking and look forward to his continual gain in confidence.

As promised we continue to let Nathan try different foods and make sure to get his genuine reaction to them. Nathan, like his mom, loves pickles.

Our Garden

So we're here in Rexburg and loving every minute of it (mostly anyways). We started our garden outside our trailer home, but first had to remove all the rocks. Luckily, we have Nathan and he is very effective in removing rocks (and dirt, and weeds, and just about everything that he can get his hands on). Our onions are doing great, as is our lettuce. Just this last week the corn poked through and out peas are of course thriving. We love our garden and can't wait to reap the harvest, though right now the time spent weeding and being together is the most precious.

Out West

So we made it back to Idaho! It's a long story that I'm sure many of you know about, but we are here. We actually got back on the 19th, but we don't have the internet at home and so we can't update as often now as we would like. So hopefully we can find some ways to keep everyone posted as to what is happening in our lives.

Today was probably the most beautiful Easter day we have ever had. The weather was perfect, the family company was great, and the Easter-egg hunt was phenomenal. Nathan enjoyed his first Easter and found four eggs that he couldn't hold onto because his little hands weren't big enough. So we laughed and had a great time watching him figure out ways to hold onto them. He also got a swim diaper, new shorts, a book, and some essentials (baby wipes and food). Sorry Nathan, no candy this time.
