09.30.10 - Raspberries

Green beans for dinner, Nate? Nope. Raspberries!

09.29.10 - Whydya stop, Dad?

So I can take your photo, Nate!

09.28.10 - Framed

Nate gets a kick out of playing with a teething ring.

09.27.10 - Soup kitchen

Nate's discovered the canned goods just as his sister did. I'm guessing the can tastes better than the cream of mushroom soup that's inside it.

09.26.10 - Uncle Mike

Nate nearly jumped out of Grampy Keith's arms to meet Uncle Mike at a benefit luncheon today in Walnut, Kan. Check out this post on our other blog to find out why we were there.

09.25.10 - Exploration Place

We went down to Exploration Place today as part of the Smithsonian's Museum Day, which offered free admission to museums nationwide. Maddie enjoyed running all over the toddler play area and Nate was just generally overwhelmed by all the activity!

09.24.10 - Gimme a push, Maddie!

While I was busy taking pictures, Nate's swing came to a stop. So, Maddie reached over and gave him a little push. Despite the devilish look, she really was being nice!

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.

09.22.10 - Sky high

Nate enjoys being outdoors on the last day of summer. All too soon it will be dark before we get home from work. It even felt a little bit like fall today.

09.21.10 - "Wah!"

Maddie is learning more and more words. Lately she's been saying "apple joo," "boddle," "wadder," "pee (please)," and "wah (walk)." Mom wanted to stay home to watch the season premiere of "Glee" so I was only going to take Maddie. As soon as Maddie and I headed for the door, Nate looked at us like he was going to cry and then started scooting toward us! Anyway, this time last year, I made a very similar photo to this scene. It's amazing how fast they grow up!
