March

I'm not quite sure where this last month has gone.   The summer like weather has allowed us to get outside quite a bit and we had two weekends with visitors.  Mom and Dad Terpstra, along with Brandon's sister Cara, braved the tornado warnings and made a trip down earlier this month.   We had a wonderful visit with them and were able to explore downtown Franklin.  On that note, I have found the one thing I really dislike about Nashville so far and that is tornado warnings.

Checking out deer w/ Papa outside of Franklin

Myles got his first hair cut.  He seems like such a boy and not a baby now.  I suppose the fact that he can climb out of his crib and open almost all of our doors has contributed to that.

He was so proud of his truck/car train

This solved the question of how he kept finding pacifiers

 

Touch a Truck exhibit - St. Patty's Day festival @ Charlie Daniels Park

I tried to get him to stay still and look at me for a picture but that just wasn't going to happen.

Testing out my painting abilities - Palates and Paintbrushes @ HHBC

Brandon's friend Mike was able to visit for a short weekend.  It was great to see him.  Mike and his wife Amanda are the couple we went to visit in Panama two years ago.

Downtown Nashville

 To end the month we went to Stones River National Battlefield for a hike and little history lesson.  

Myles was more interested in picking up rocks then anything else

 One note:  If you're going to allow your child to feed himself spaghetti don't give him a bath before dinner because you will end up bathing him twice that day :)

Wishing everyone a Happy Easter! 

He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay.   Matthew 28:6

Hallelujah!!!

A Day at the Zoo

When my parents and brother were here we had some perfect weather for a day at the zoo.  Here are a few pictures from our trip there.  We purchased a membership so I'm sure Myles and I will be heading there many more times.  Not all the animals were out so we'll have some new things to look at the next time. 

 

Thanks for the pictures Mom!

February

February has been a fun month.   The weather has been beautiful and has allowed us to spend a few days at the park.  Some of the trees in our backyard are starting to bud already.  It looks like Spring is just about here.   

Brandon and I made it out for a date night.  We went out to dinner and saw Need to Breathe at the Ryman Auditorium.  Amazing concert!   

We also had our first visitors, Mom and Dad Nordine and brother Jed.   We spent the timing visiting and also took a trip to the zoo (pics to come later).  Myles really enjoyed having people here.  

Looks like March will be another fun/busy month for us, with visitors 3 different weekends.   We're so blessed to have so many family and friends willing to make the long trip down to see us.  

Happy Spring!!! (well winter still for most of you :)
