03.24.12 - Partyin' with Grampy Keith

Nate hangs out with Grampy Keith during Tommy's birthday party today.

08.14.11 - (Not so) Mr. Clean

Contrary to yesterday's post, Nate is anything but clean when eating. He especially enjoyed having chocolate pudding for dessert at Gramma Karen and Grampy Keith's today. Or maybe the chocolate pudding had him!

04.09.11 - Trains and sandboxes

Today was a busy day. We had a picnic lunch in Watson Park before taking a train ride around the park. Who's Maddie's friend? We have no idea. That's where Maddie wanted to sit and both the girl and her parents were OK with it.


After naps, which last until almost 5 p.m., Gramma Karen and Grampy Keith came over with dinner, after which Nate and Grampy spent some time in the new sandbox before going on a walk.

We're having a painting party soon. All hands are welcomed! I'm sure the neighbors behind us are getting tired of looking a splotches of primer white. I know we are!

01.30.11 - Glad to see Grampy Keith

Nate and his sister and his mommy spent the weekend hanging out with Gramma Karen at Nan and Pop's house while Grampy Keith and I worked on tiling a bathroom. Nate was sure glad to see us when we finally finished.

Thanks to Gramma Karen for sharing this photo, too!

01.23.11 - Birthday brunch

Nate enjoyed a game of peek-a-boo with Savannah at brunch this morning while celebrating Gramma Karen's birthday. She probably wouldn't like it if we told you how old she is so let's just say she's a pretty "nifty" gramma!

01.10.11 - Inside recess

Wichita received its first measurable snowfall of the season today. We probably had three or four inches at our house. But because Nate's got a cold, he wasn't able to go outside with Mommy and Maddie after work. Instead, he had to stay inside and play with Daddy. He didn't really play. He just stood by the patio doors and watched. Poor guy, I wish I could have taken him out! I have a photo that shows him considerably upset but I opted not to put the grandparents through that!

10.16.10 - "How do you fix a broken pumpkin?"

With a pumpkin patch!

Ha! That's a real knee slapper of a joke, Dad!

10.03.10 - Do you have this in blue?

Nate enjoys being able to see the top of his laugh and learn table from his cozy perch that is Maddie's chair. She's good at sharing but when she saw him sitting in her chair, she started yelling, "Bruh-der! Bruh-der! Bruh-der!" her voice raising in volume with each "bruh-der!"

So, Gramma Karen and Grampy Keith ... think you can get this in blue? ;)

09.23.10 - Storytime with Nan

Nan and Pop, along with Gramma Karen and Grampy Keith, came over for dinner tonight. Before we ate, Nan read a story with Nate.

09.14.10 - Chicks dig me

I know of a few chicks, including Gramma Karen who, tonight while watching the kids at Nan and Pop's house, said that Nate is so perfect his poop doesn't even stink!

08.30.10 - Suh-wing!

We realized the other day that Nate had never been in the swing so we picked up a toddler swing for Maddie from the Anderson Bargain Barn (aka Grampy Keith) so Nate could use the baby one. He loved it!

08.29.10 - Hangin' out with Gramma Karen

Of course, Gramma Karen is there, too!

08.28.10 - Hangin' out with Grampy Keith

While we're in Manhattan celebrating Brian's 30th birthday, Nate and his sisters are hanging out with Grampy Keith.

07.31.10 - Familly reunion fun

Nate reunites with Gramma Karen poolside at the Scheer Family Reunion today in Kansas City, Mo. Now, who'd have thought that we could find Gramma Karen at the pool?!!

07.11.10 - Baptized

Nate was baptized by Father Mike between Masses at St. Vincent de Paul Catholic Church this morning. Several members of our family came to witness the special event including my friend, and fellow photographer, Kelly Glasscock who photographed the event for us. And a special thanks goes out also to Grampy Keith and our friend Tiffany for being Nate's godparents!

06.23.10 - Balancing act

Nate works his feet while hanging out with Gramma Karen and Grampy Keith at Nan and Pop's house.

05.29.10 - Family reunion

Great Uncle Kenny and his girlfriend Marsha came to visit Nan and Pop today so we took the kids over to meet them. Of course, they spent a lot of time with Nan and Gramma Karen, as usual.

05.03.10 - Official Easter Outfit

A little late, but we managed to get Nate in his Easter outfit before he outgrew it. Thanks, Gramma Karen, for picking out such a cute outfit!

04.04.10 - Nate's first Easter

After church this morning, we enjoyed a nice meal at Gramma Karen and Grampy Keith's house. Thanks for having us over! Nate can't wait for next year so he can hunt eggs, too!

And a special thanks to Gramma Karen for the awesome Easter outfit and for sharing this photo with us!
