Injury

So, although Nathan wouldn't pose for a pic, you can see that his whole left hand and half of his arm are wrapped up. Yes, I cut his index finger while I was trying to cut his fingernails. It was bleeding pretty bad, I felt bad, and I couldn't corral him long enough to put pressure on it. So, I had to call my neighbor to come help me hold him down. We finally got it done, and after only one day, we don't need any more bandages! Yea! I thought it might slow him down a little bit, but he just kept right on moving!!

Cracker Jacks

So, I was recently reintroduced to the wonderful treat of Cracker Jacks. We were on our way to a Dodger game and we didn't have any cash! So, in order to park, we needed $15. We stopped at a CVS Pharmacy to get some water and cash back. While I was standing in line to purchase my water, I saw them...sitting in a pile and my curiosity was piqued. I hadn't tried these since I was about 7 and I associated them with my Grandma T. I am an impulse buyer, and since we were going to a baseball game, I figured I would indulge in this little treat. Well, I am SO glad that I did! Although my surprise inside was just a dumb little pencil topper, the popcorn and peanuts inside were so GOOD! I will now remember this when I am on future long car trips. If you haven't had this delicious indulgence in awhile...go try it!

Now, I like salad, but you just have to relate to this!

Trouble

Nathan likes to play in these bins by our kitchen. He pulls everything out one at a time. It is pretty funny to watch. Sometimes he gets this look of mischief on his face.

This is only the Guest house

Trip to Lompoc, CA

On the 19th, Nathan and I went to visit my friend Stephanie and her husband Ronald and their new little boy, RJ.

Sleepy boys

The penlight did the trick (Stephanie and I met while going to Nursing school!)

Playing in the stroller (I didn't want him crawling around on the floor...it worked pretty well. That's one advantage of these huge honking strollers...) :)

We visited the Danish town Solvang while we were there. They live about 40 minutes away from there.
