My sister Heather gave birth to a healthy baby girl on New Year's Eve. Her name is Lucy.
Nathan and Sophia met their newborn cousin.Nathan said, "You're a super cute baby. Silly baby."
Nathan is really taken with babies.Sophie seems somewhat interested.
Nathan celebrated his half birthday at school in January since his birthday is in July. His teacher, Miss Tobler, made him a candy necklace and even put "1/2" on his birthday hat. I came to the class to read Star Wars: Journey Through Space and to give each child a York peppermint patty, one of his favorite candies. I think his teacher found a clever way for the summer birthday kids to celebrate during the school year. (Miss Tobler tells the kids not to eat all of the candy at once so they won't get stomachaches, and every time I picked out a candy for him, Nathan was worried he might get sick. I let him know one a day is okay.)
Nathan drew this picture of President Barack Obama on January 20, the day of his inauguration. His friend drew the picture to look exactly like him, but I guess Nathan went with the rainbow look. He also had a paper that said, "If I were President, I would ..." and Nathan wrote, "help people do the right thing."
Nathan celebrated his 100th day of school on January 21. Yahoo!
On the way to church last Sunday, Nathan said he liked his suit and said, "I'm a working man!" Dan asked if he wanted to go to work with him, and Nathan said, "Yeah, I'll go to work with Papa." So the morning of January 20, Nathan dressed up with his Dad and packed his Nintendo DS and books into my laptop bag and headed into the office with Dan. He stayed there for a couple of hours, and then I picked him up to go to school in the afternoon. He said he liked "working" at his Dad's office. He said he likes school and work. Quotes of the week
"I'm fifty years old. I'm a working man!" -- Nathan, who is trying to grow up too fast.
"I did it!" -- Sophia, who went potty for the first time on January 26. Hooray!
Grateful moment
I'm thankful for hobbies like scrapbooking. I like making cute things and giving them to others and recording family memories. It makes family history fun. These are Valentine's Day 6x6" pages, a card, and a gift I made at my monthly Stampin' Up group. I love the sock monkey stamp.

Oh, your kids are so cute. What a fun thing for Nathan to go to work with Dan and the best part ... they both survived. I can only imagine Andrew working with his daddy "here's the drill dad" while he's trying to run the drill himself as the patients screaming.. ha ha.
Congrats on getting Sophia potty trained. Abbey will grab herself and I'll ask her if she needs to go potty and she'll say "yes" and so I help her and she just sits on the potty for a moment then she's done.
Anyway, it looks like you all had so much fun during Christmas too.
I love the picture where Nathan and Dan are going to work together. They are twinners! That's so funny Nathan was worried the candy would give him a stomachache. Kids do listen to their teachers! :) Yea for Sophia going potty!!
Nathan and Sophia are so cute and so much fun. They are full of personality.
Love,
Mom
