Daddy's New Look

First off, I'd like to report that this picture was taken by Carter. He is constantly asking to take pictures on our camera. Funny how I had tried to take a few pictures of Nate so I could show off his new look and Carter's were much better. Our little budding photographer.

Anyway, as you can see Nate is now sporting a beard. It took a few days to get used to it, but I actually quite like it. People from church have made good comments, except for the whole, "he looks like he needs a couple of tattoos with the look". It takes quite a bit more maintenance but I think Nate is enjoying the change.

Craftiness

I wanted to show off my craftiness. We made these signs at a super Saturday activity we had back in October. It just finally got put up on the wall this week. Thanks to Kari for putting all the stuff together for it. I thought it turned out really cute and I'm hoping it will help me remember to have FHE more often.

The Cave

Carter and I have been going to the Museum Center a ton since he loves the holiday train display. However, his new found favorite is "The Cave". This week when we went he was thrilled to discover I just happened to be carrying a flashlight. We went through twice and he begged to go through even more. It might be hard to tell, but it is actually quite dark down there, oh, and wet, and cold. There is even a bat area where you can watch them fly. Fun.

Museum trip

We had a great time as a family going to the museum last weekend. First, we visited Egypt, the camel being the highlight. Then we headed over to the holiday junction for lots of fun train stuff. It is Carter's favorite thing in the museum and he asks to go everyday now that it is here for the holidays. We have yet to see Santa there, but I'm sure I'll have future pics of that.

Carter's Photography

Carter has become a little photographer. He loves to take pictures. He usually just wants me to pose for the camera but he is getting pretty good at it. Here are some of his pics. I just have to hold my breath that he doesn't drop/break the camera. It is weird to actually be in so many pictures. I am usually the one taking them.

Standing on his head

Carter decided to stand on his head while watching TV. He got there all by himself and stayed there for quite awhile. Silly, huh?

We have been enjoying wonderful weather this week. Sunday is a great chance to head to grandma's house and take a tractor ride. Grandpa is pretty much Carter's favorite person right now since he is the one that lets Carter drive the tractor. Notice that he really does steer all by himself most of the time. He can even turn it around by himself. It was fun to hitch up the trailer and all go for a ride in the hay field together. So Kentucky, huh!
