Today is father's day and we had a wonderfull time. After church Heather prepared a nice picnic down by the lake. We then went for a boat ride but Nathan got fussy so it was kinda short. Heather also prepared a special dinner (scallops, lemon chicken, fettucini Alfredo).

I just got back from Nashville where I picked up a new to us bedroom suite. We found a Henredon Sleigh bed on ebay and Heather negotiated the purchase of the rest of the suite. I guess we are stepping up. We just got the box springs off the floor a couple years ago and our bedroom furniture has been a hodge podge of stuff. Those are the scrifices when you buy what you want when you can afford it and not a minute sooner.

Its been a while since my last update and a lot has happened. My father is doing much better. He is healing and gaining strength everyday. Nathan celebrated his first Birthday. We had aparty for him on May 1st... his Birthday is May 10th. He had so much fun playing with the other children and everyone that he refused a nap and ended up falling asleep at the height of the party. He just couldn't go on anymore. Nathan and Heather went to visit her parents a couple weeks ago. I was suffering from a little nasal infection and could not expose Dan to it so I stayed home. Heather's pregnancy is progressing well. She is managing her blood sugar better. She was just tested for gestational diabetes and results were much better than those during her pregnancy with Nathan. She has started suffering from heartburn so Madeline will have a head of hair if the old wives tale holds true. We had a few people over this weekend to spend some time on the lake and fellowship. Nathan went for his first inner tube ride and Heather went with him making her first ride of the summer, too. I guess that means Madeline had her first tube ride too. Our pursuit of a nanny has been kind of quite lately but we need to start pursuing that more seriously. Speaking of getting serious. I haven't finished that rental house yet either. Its a struggle for me to leave the family to work on that when I want to be with Nathan and Heather and I want to take some of the household and caring for Nathan burden off of Heather.
