Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove.
O, no! It is an ever-fixed mark
That looks on tempests and is never shaken..." William Shakespere
Nicholas loves to help sort laundry. He takes all his clothes out of the basket and then puts them all back in, one at a time. We figure it can't hurt to get him started on household tasks early - after all, he needs to earn his keep!
When we got home from Stanton, Tim went outside to clean up all the downed branches and leaves from the recent storms we've been having. Nick decided ot help out. Nick thought the leaves and sticks were very interesting. But mostly he just wanted to run around. He loves being outside and when he is, he just takes off. It tires me out!
We drove to Stanton over the weekend and spent the night at my dad's house. Nicholas got to play with uncle Hazen - they seemed to hit it off. Hazen taught Nick how to shake his head "no." Thanks, Hazen! Nick checked out Grandpa Wager's boat. He seemed to like it at first. Grandpa, Nick and Daddy posed so nicely. It was a beautiful sunny day.
But it all went south after they put on the life jackets and left the dock. Nick didn't like the boat ride at all!
My sister Joanne and her family visited us for a couple of days. We tried to get a nice picture of all the cousins together, but someone wouldn't cooperate. Remember those days when Nick would just sit there and smile for the camera? Well, those days are gone. From left to right, Alex, Lizzie, Elaina, Emily, and Nicholas.
In case you ever wondered, this is what hair looks like if you run your fingers through it after eating spaghetti. It's like eating dinner and getting free hair gel at the same time!
