Nathan's 11th Birthday

Nathan and his sister (I think they do love each other...sometimes)

On October 13, 1998 we were blessed with the arrival of Nathan Stephen Cain. He came into this world very easy, pretty much like he is now. In the beginning it was hard with his sister being so young (19 months) and he didn't like to sleep much until he was about 18 months. Now, we can't get him out of the bed and can sleep through most anything. God has gifted him with a great mind and he is so creative.

Nathan, we love you buddy and are so grateful to the Lord for giving you to us. We wouldn't want to experience life without you! You defintely keep us on our toes - laughing most of the time.

Happy 11th Birthday Nathan! We love you!

Love you!

Mom

Fall fun

We joined another family from church at a pumpkin patch yesterday. Although I wouldn't recommend this place, the time spent with friends was great. At this particular pumpkin patch you pay to get in and then leave with 2 very small pumpkins. Natalie has named them "Rip" and "Off" - pretty clever I thought. It was also a great day to be enjoyed and be out in the wonderful weather.

Natalie's new haircut

Natalie sewing

Natalie absolutely loves sewing. She has to get this from her grandmothers, because I didn't inherit this gene. I just don't have the patience for this kind of work. So, while she likes it, I want to help her learn. She is taking some sewing classes at The Stichin Post in Little Rock. Today she made a shoulder bag. I was amazed and so happy for her that she finished it today. As you can tell from the picture, she is proud of herself.

My Friends Place Tea Room

Each summer we take the girls and their great-grandmother to a tea party. They always have a great time and make good memories.
