Boogies!

You wanna know something I'm pretty good at, and I actually enjoy? Using that booger bulb thingy to remove the boogies from Nate's nose. Am I crazy, or what? He actually seems happy when I'm doing it, too, b/c he is usually smiling, and trying to work with me so I can clear the path for air to get through. It's like he knows what I'm doing! What a genius!

A Reunion

I'm so bad at this updating thing! Ok! Another cool thing that Nathan got to be a part of recently was a reunion with people from my high school marching band last month. Every five years, my high school has a reunion for all of us former "band geeks" and we get together and play a few songs at the school's competition. I play the trumpet, although now it's only about every five years that I take it out! It's very cool to get to see old friends, and friends I am still in touch with. I made some of my more lasting friendships in marching band. I was hoping at the last reunion that this time Dan would be there with our children, or child. We just made it under the wire! Nathan got to hear us play a little bit when we were at the tail end of our practice in the afternoon. He also got to meet some of my friends he hadn't yet. I knew it would be too cold for him to come back that night, so Dan took him home with him before the show. We didn't perform until 10pm! We did get to go out to lunch, just the two of us, thanks to my mother. We were going to stop by so she could see Nathan, and she told us to go out and she'd watch him for us. It was nice to go out like that with Dan, even if it was just for an hour or so. We hadn't done that since I gave birth! I was going to go out to a local bar with the group after the show, but it was way too late. It was a fun day, though. And I'm so glad Nathan got to be there for part of it.

Here's me and Sue:
