p.s.

Other late August and September moments- Mom turns 30 and Nate is potty trained! WHAHOO!

Where did Sept go?

Wow- almost October.... I can't believe that September went by so fast! We waited to take our summer vacation until the second week in September, so the summer seemed quite long for us as we awaited our beach vacation! We went down with our neighbors, the Ohlsons, and mutual family friends, the Lawrences. We had a great house in OBX, great weather, great food and great friends! Now, the only bummer was that Nate had a fever for 3 of the 6 days we were there, but when he was feeling well, he had a blast! He slept in a big boy bed (which he has now upgraded to at home as well) and only got out of bed when he wasn't feeling well. Anyway, I could talk forever, but I know you really want to see some pictures! So without further a-do....


Nate's first time on the beach at the ocean!

Sara's first time too!

Hey Nate- this is where Daddy wanted to propose to Mommy, but a storm came and we had to leave the park!

He wasn't feeling too well when we started in the jeep, he didn't want any pictures taken....
