Nate, Nate, and Nate

This last month has been pretty crazy.  The speed with which Nate continues to grow and learn new things is staggaring!  One thing worth mentioning is that Nate loves books.  We just got him a couple new books on Saturday and he love those too.  He brings us books to read with him at least five times a day.  The love of books is a joy that we always wanted our kids to appreciate and so far Nate really likes them! 

It is really funny to me how much Nate acts like a little boy.  He loves to make a lot of noise, he never wants to sit still, he loves to throw things, he loves to play with his food, he loves carrying things around and smacking them into whatever he can find, and he really loves wrestling with his parents.  It is so much fun!

Nate had his first official haircut this week.  I'll post a before and after picture later in the week.  Julie was hesitating to cut off his hair because she didn't want him to loose his little curls!  Oh, well.  Having cut hair even makes him look more grown up!  It is so funny to see him continue to grow!

There are a few new pictures in the January 2007 Group.  Enjoy!

Apple Day!

Steve Jobs announced the Apple ipHone at the MacWorld Conference today. This phone looks totally awesome and will certainly revolutionize the phone/PDA/Internet device market for a long time. It will be released in June when it should get final approval from the FCC. It is a windscreen touch interface that basically runs OS X. That is so amazing. The problem, is the price. 500 dollars for a 4gig version and 600 dollars for the 8gig version. Ouch! And that is only with a two year service agreement with cingular! So that thing is pretty expensive.

So in light of the news I bought a 8gig Red Ipod Nano today and I love it! It is just awesome. It is just so tiny! I'm not terribly impressed with the current ipod video and with no imminent release of the next generation I went with the Nano. It is solid state so I can take it to the gym and finally retire my 512mb shuffle! I have used that shuffle constantly for the last year and it served me very well. Now that I have the 8gig Nano I can put my entire library on the device to take with me wherever I go! I have about a gig left so there is a little room to grow there. Anyway, I got the Nike arm band and also an invisible shield so I don't scratch it! What a great day. Anyway, I should mention that this was made possible by all the people who for Christmas, so generously provided me with the means to purchase my Nano . Thank you.

The Bathroom is Complete!!!!!!!!!!!!

So the day that Julie and I have awaited for so long is finally here.  We have finished the bathroom!!!!!  It has been such a hard road where a ton of disappointment and frustration along with a strange mixture of satisfaction.  Who would have thought?  Anyway, I have just posted a ton of pictures to the remodel group and we hope that you like our new remodel. 

Great Break and New Pictures of Nate

I have taken a lot of time off this holiday season and that has made for some really fun times together as a family.  Julie and I went on an awesome date up to Park City on Friday night.  The Kimball Art Center organized a gallery stroll and most of the art galleries had refreshments and many of the artists were present.  We had such a great time together! 

I have posted some more new pictures of Nate.  He is such a cute kid!
