Nathaniel is four now. He is the most affectionate, loving, social person in our family. He is also a substantial little guy and fearlessly rumbles with his two big brothers.
Fall at Bass Lake
A couple of weeks ago our family enjoyed a walk at Bass Lake (Blowing Rock, NC), which has become somewhat of a Fall tradition.One favorite attraction is leaf sliding. Here's Nathaniel (4 yrs)
Hannah (6 yrs)
Samantha (4 months)
Visit with Mom and Dad
We enjoyed a visit with my mom and dad recently. They came and camped at the local KOA. You can view the rest of the album HERE.
Here is a picture of Samantha, three weeks old, chatting with Caleb and Nathaniel.
Pictures of Samantha's First Day
Here are some pictures of Samantha's first day.
OK, now I saved the most hilarious picture for last. This was an unbelievable fluke shot--she's not really smiling yet, of course. We have got a lot of laughs out of it. Maybe Samantha forgot, just for a millimoment, that she was supposed to act like a baby and blew her cover. Apparently, she knows something we don't.
Dana and Her Children
Happy Mother's Day to Dana! I am so grateful to have a wife who loves to have and care for children. She is doing a great job! Here is a picture of her with her seven children (one born in three weeks!).
