Honey’s 1st. Solo Babysitting Mr. Nate :)

Mr. Nate & I had the best day!!

First we took a walk.

(I don’t think he is going to like wearing hats:)

Second…we had play time.

I do believe Mr. Nate wants to turn over.

And, then Mr. Nate was worn out.

Mr. Nate is good, good, good

….then ~ FUSSY!!!

This apparently happens just before

it is time to put him to bed.

So…guess what settled him down

I channeled my Honey & Mother.

♪♪♫♫♪ tummy, nummy, newney – newney- new ♪♪♫♫♪

Tried & true tune that works every time

Mr. Nathanael ~ your Honey loves you with all her heart!!

Sam Goes to the Southeastern Railway Museum

Sam’s dreams have come true

Oh Boy!!! I can’t wait

Andy & Josh invited Sam to the Southeastern Railway Museum.

1st. Andy blows the whistle,

while Sam releases the brakes.

Then ~ it’s Sam’s turn to blow the whistle.

Josh has his hands full

Sam is so excited about running all around the

“Little Red Caboose”  

Annnnd, we got to RIDE a train

Honey ~ I’m sooo excited!!

Let’s not forget the Gift Shop

We had such a wonderful time!!

Thank you so much Andy & Josh for inviting us to the

Train Museum

Sam had a Very Busy Day :)

Today…was BEAUTIFUL!!!

We ~ Papa & Honey

decided to take Sam over to St. Mt. for a climb

Well of course…needless to say ~ she loved it !!!!

Peep ‘a boo…I see you

Boo!!

Up ~ up ~ up … we went…

C-H-E-E-S-E

Sam is into singing these days

“If you’re happy and you know it…clap you hands…”

 The only way to get Sam off the mountain

was to promise her

we’d find a train.

Thankfully, we were able to deliver

Sam…L-O-V-E-S trains!!!!!

Then…the only way to get her to leave the train was to promise her the turtles.

aka…Mama Mia’s in Mt. Park

Ha, ha … caught ya

Yes Sam…Yes you are your father’s daughter.

If given the opportunity, Jason would 

flip any switch or pull any cord

…then ~ wait and see what would happen

Sam…you are soo very much fun!!

I’m so Thankful you came to spend a long weekend

with your Honey & Papa!!

Today’s Epiphany

Today ~ I had an Epiphany.  Thank you God!!  Nate will be Baptized a week from Saturday.  He will wear the same Baptismal gown as my Daddy, me & Sam.  When Sam was Baptized, I had the gown; but, not the slip.  So, I made one.  I decided to sew into the slip small pin tucked hems.  On these hems, I embroidered Daddy’s name & year of birth; same for me and Sam.

Now~ here comes the miracle.  I needed to spell Nate’s name.  No problem ~ right.?  Well, I had this nagging question…let’s call it what it was ~ God was saying  to me….“you’d better call & ask”.  Now here are all the small miracles:

• Sandra posted something on Facebook with his name.  The fact that I noticed her post was a miracle.
• I noticed his name was spelled funny.  I thought it was a “typo”.  The miracle…I noticed the “typo”.
• The miracle…I remembered all this 2 1/2 weeks later.
• The miracle…I finally gave in & made a phone call.  I really do not like talking on the phone.  You’ll NEVER get caught on a phone call with me!!!

Here’s how my Mr. Nate’s name is spelled…Nathanael.   I’m so very Thankful I followed God’s advice & called before I started embroidering his name!!!

LYM ~ my sweet precious angel Nathanael sent straight from God!!

Your,

∞ Honey ∞

p.s.  To my sweet Nate, I just did a little research on your name.  From the Catholic Encyclopedia:

“Nathanael - One of the first disciples of Jesus, to Whom he was brought by his friend Philip.”

Nate’s 1st. Visit to His Honey’s & Papa’s House

Today ~ was Nate’s 1st. visit 

to his Honey’s & Papa’s house.

I guess to Nate

…it was the same old same old.

He ate & slept

The surprising thing for me was

…we prepared Sam big time for having

to share her Mommy & Daddy with a baby;

but, we didn’t prepare her for

having to share her

Honey & Papa ;-/

She wasn’t in the room when Nate arrived.

I was holding him when she came into the room.

She said…

No, No, No, Honey; you can’t hold him

Uh ~ Oh ;-/

That was very short sighted.

We have our work cut out for us.

LYM…♥

Andy’s Birthday Party :)

YEA ~ we get Sam!!

Since Andy’s birthday was so soon after

Nate was born, 

Jason & Sandra asked me to take Sam to Andy’s party.

I don’t know who was more excited about Andy’s party…

Sam or me?

(Sam & Andy have been good friends since…before they were born.)

Thankfully, the party was held @ Chick Fillet.

What a GREAT idea!!

They have a dancing cow

Behind Andy’s parents & Sam,

you’re notice the really nice 

slide w/ climbing fort.

All indoor

I learned … Sam is a two fisted eater when ~

presented with french fries & cupcake.

However…to get her eat her oatmeal this morning

took MUCH bribery!! 

Sam LOVES:

Thomas the Train

&

puzzles.  

Put those two favorites together…

spells ~ successful bribery

LYM…♥

Shamefully~ Stealing from My Son

I’m soo stealing photos from Jason Price.

His are 100% better than mine; but, I want my grandchildren documented here in my blog:)

I hope Jason is ok with this.

It comes under the heading of

…it’s easier to get the Blessing than the permission

Love ya ~ Son

Sorry son…please forgive me.

If it is any consolation to you…I can’t manipulate the photos like I like to ;-/

I’m very grateful to Papa

…While he stayed home with Sam & Pama, 

he let me go to the hospital

I’ll have to figure out some way to make it up to him.

Well…enough about me.
