Quick Trip

Uncle Joe showed up at Grandma and Grandpa's house and surprised Nathan. By Nathan's reaction, you would never even know Uncle Joe left. Within the first minute of seeing Uncle Joe, Nathan ushered him into Grandma and Grandpa's room to jump on the bed. That was the last game they played together before Uncle Joe left last time. Nathan didn't forget, then he continued to follow him around and say "bed" as he pushed him towards the bedroom. Nathan also noticed that Aunt Lexi was no where to be found. He kept looking out the window and pointing to the door and saying "Lexi?" After he finally realized that she wasn't coming, it was back to playing with Uncle Joe...nonstop. I do believe they are best friends.

Guess how many times Uncle Joe had to do this.
Not only is Uncle Joe good for rough-housing, but he also knows how to read. Nathan was on the lookout for Aunt Lexi.

Nathan is still working on his jumping skills. Uncle Joe thinks it's hilarious so he makes him jump all the time.

Check out this really fun game that Uncle Joe started. It's not tiring at all. Grandma was the only one who escaped it. The funny part is watching Joe imitate Nathan's jumping abilities when he thought he was behind the camera.

Uncle Joe left early yesterday morning to begin his journey up to South Dakota. He just barely fit in the car. There are toys and books stuffed in every crevice of the vehicle. No way should one child have accumulated that much stuff in a three month span. There is no doubt who's house he's been at for the past few months. The most ridiculous part is that all his stuff didn't even fit. Grandpa is going to make a road trip up to Rapid City this spring to bring the big stuff. Grandpa likes doing road trips, so I think this was his plan all along - spoil Nathan with as many bulky toys as possible so that they don't all fit in my car.
