First Food

Card Player

All our children enjoy playing cards - both Nathan and I grew up

playing cards - so we teach our children young.  But this boy, he LOVES

playing cards and you often find him around our house sitting playing

just like this.  

Saturday mornings are card playing mornings in our home - 

at least for dad and the kids.  One by one they come down the stairs and as

dad is drinking his morning coffee, they play games with him.

Christmas Program

Although Nathan's Grandma passed away this past February, 

we had made wonderful friends at her apartment building, so we
