Nathanael is Happy!

Just couldn't resist showing off this cutie pie. :) For all Grandmother's viewing pleasure. (and aunts, uncles & friends, too)

For Grandma Chris- Boom, Boom, Boom!

Zachariah loves listening to his Dinosaur CD from Grandma Chris. We don't know all the words to this one about T-Rex, but we do know that he stomped through the earth, "Boom, Boom Boom!" Thanks again!

P.S. If the video keeps stopping, just press the little arrow thing that scrolls along to show how much farther the video has to go. Sorry!

It's good for the Soul

Ahh.....Todd & I just returned from a trip Up North. It was our first trip without the boys in two years. Grandmommy & PePaw came to Zeeland while we went away for 4 days/3 nights.

We stayed a night on Mackinaw Island, traveled down the northern Western Michigan shore and a day in Traverse City. The autumn trees were amazing...as well as time with just US!

Zeeland Pumpkin Festival Time

Zachariah was a participant in Zeeland's (the town we live) annual Pumpkin Parade. He loved riding for the hour, right next to his teacher, Mrs. Robyn. Daddy was not able to make it because he was attending a Notre Dame game with Brent Chism.

Todd's Turn

Pictured: James, Brian McSee, Sandi Patty, Todd Johnson and Sandi's pianist

Todd needs his turn in the spotlight. Recently, we met Sandi Patty, a reknown Christian artist at a local concert. We sat in the front row (about 8 feet from her) and met her backstage. A previous bandmember who toured with Sandi, Brian McSee, got us great seats. In fact, Brian sat behind us and was singing along with her. It was a bit of heaven for us that night! Brian is now friends of ours and one of the worship leaders at our church.

Todd absolutetly loves meeting famous people and even can mimic Sandi in a song or two. It is one of the many silly things that I love about him.

Zachariah the Helper

Zachariah loves to help Mom & Dad wherever and whenever. This is a pretty typical thing he does when we mow or work in the yard. I hope he will still be as willing in 8-10 years?!?

Clean Boys

Here is a picture of a "Rainy day" activity this week- the boys taking a bath together! It was over a half hour of play! I tried to get the video to upload but b/c nudity was involved, I believe it was sensored! :)

Nathanael on the move

Nathan started crawling nearly two months ago (now 10 months) He is having fun getting around. In this clip, he is even starting to "bear crawl""
