One More Nate Fix

When I said I would gladly drop Nathan off with in Minnesota on the last post, that was just my sleep deprivation talking. It's hitting me now how long we'll be away from Nathan. I sure am going to miss him. I know a few other people who are going to miss seeing his daily antics published on the blog and the regular Skype conversations. He's addicted to video chatting.

I am exhausted, but I couldn't leave the last post as a negative one. (Just so you know, it took one night of laying down the bedtime law for Nathan to quit his night time roaming.) Here are some pictures of Nathan over the past few days being his usual cheery self. He is way too funny.

Nathan found some Easter eggs loaded with money. I always used to like finding money in my Easter eggs as a kid... all the way up through college with paper money. Those were some good Easters. 
I guess I didn't get a picture of Nathan's Easter basket, but it was an airplane shaped basket loaded down with Matchbox cars and helicopters and airplanes.
Monday was "warm" by Rapid City standards. The entire city was at the park on our first "warm" day after having weeks of blizzards.
It's always funny to see how everyone is dressed when we have our first decent day after weeks of snow. All the moms at the park show up in their skimpiest summer clothes trying to act like it's not cold at all, even though the wind is still blowing ridiculously. 60 degree weather is not sundress or shorts and tank top weather. Yes, it's warmer than 10 degrees, but it's still not warm enough for summer clothes.
This is the sign that Nathan has reached his playground max.
Tuesday was another nice day so we headed back over to the park.
Nathan has gotten good at climbing the bars.
Climbing is totally his thing right now.
I can't imagine where he's seen this done before. This is how Nathan thinks you talk on the phone. This way, or by holding the phone open on speaker.
You can imagine how many rocks Nathan brings home with him after each trip to the playground. You can also imagine how dirty his bath water is after each trip to the playground.
That's it for a while. Check back in a few weeks for another Nate Update.
