Thirteen!

 I was totally shocked to hear that E... was turning thirteen last March. Where has time gone? I was reminded, however, that Nathan himself, as always, is only two months behind! Thirteen sounds so scary and I panicked...but so far there have been no dramatic changes and Nathan is still a perfectly normal person. Could teenagers still be real people?

 Nathan isn't so big on getting his photo taken, so this bday I restrained my paparazzi tendencies somewhat.

Nathan winterized our small engines last fall, and this spring he got them going again. He is doing an oil change on my (his now? as he rides it more than me?) ride on mover. He is heavy enough this year that the engine doesn't shut off when he hits small bumps in the lawn. And he hasn't missed an opportunity to keep our lawns neat and tidy. Wonder why. ;)

More repair work!

Nathan keeps busy and has taken on a lot of responsibility around the house. We like hwe his dedication to work. He is also fun to have around and we are very thankful to have him in our family for 13 years already!!
