It is so fun to be off of work for an ENTIRE week, including Memorial Day! We decided several weeks ago that once Nathan turned 3, we would take away his diapers (except if we went out somewhere or for bed). So, today, Nathan was in big boy underwear for most of the day. He… >> View Post

Day 2 of Vacation: Nathan’s 3rd Birthday
It is hard to believe that Nathan turned 3 today and that he will be in preschool and out of diapers by the time his next birthday rolls around. It seems he is growing up too fast and sometimes I wonder where does time go? I love watching him grow into a mature individual and… >> View Post
