Nash had the very important role of Egret #3 in the second grade musical, Once Upon a Lily Pad. Second graders sure are cute. Of course I made Nash pose in his egret costume (and too small baseball pants). Meanwhile, Finn rolled down the grassy hill over and over. Crew…
Blake and Nash both had big nights one Wednesday so Troy and I had to divide and conquer. Nash had a Blue and Gold Banquet for scouts which typically involves a cake contest. But this year, they decided to simplify and have a cookie contest instead. We made homemade Oreos…
Nash had a beautiful, simple baptism service. Nash’s friends, Reese and Elle, sang “He Lives and He Loves Me,” one of our favorite songs. Nash had a crowd of friends there to support him. And of course, lots of extended family. Nash’s grandma gave a wonderful talk about baptism. We…
I took Nash to the same hills where I photographed Blake in preparation for his baptism two years earlier. Two years flew by and I couldn’t believe we were already onto our second child being baptized. It’s too bad Nash didn’t show any personality…
We kept Nash’s eighth birthday simple because his baptism and after party were the next day. We were lucky to have both sets of grandparents in town for the event and we celebrated with dinner and cake. Eight things I love about Nash: He is a true middle child. He…
Nash joined Blake in piano lessons only about six weeks before recital time and he was brave enough to perform a simple version of “Jingle Bells” at his very first piano recital. Blake performed his Christmas favorite, “Carol of the Bells.” He was also the recipient of a pretty major…
Nash always has a solid idea on what he wants to dress up as for Halloween and it usually involves some sort of fantasy character. This year he chose to be Link from The Legend of Zelda. I had no idea who that was but we looked it up and…
Tomorrow is opening day for Little League and as I sat outside watching Crew’s t-ball practice last night, I was reminded how much I love baseball season. There’s just something about being a part of Little League in a small town. We run into friends and neighbors on the fields….
Spring seems to be the time of year when a lot of extra events are going on at school. Nash performed in a darling play. It was everything you’d expect from a first grade play; a little corny and a little sweet. Nash’s class took a field trip to the…
The last few posts have been a bit Nash heavy but I have one last February spotlight on Nash. He came home from school towards the beginning of first grade begging to play on a basketball team. He had been playing with friends at recess and assured us he wouldn’t…
