Well, there is really nothing new and exciting going on in the Dulin household but I thought I would catch up on a few pictures!
First picture: We have a good neighbor that has a little girl and her and Nate have become very sweet friends (Nate really digs the older women)! We have a new ReMax office that just went in beside us and one day they had their big ReMax hot air balloon on display. It was pretty cool to see in person and the kiddos really enjoyed it.
Second picture: It is crazy that it is already Fall. I am not sure where this year has gone! I do LOVE the Fall and this is the one part of the year that I really like in the Midwest. However, it never seems to last as long as it should. Nonetheless we have a few decorations to celebrate the season including this new door hanging! My wonderful in-laws bought this for us and we put it together. There are three scarecrows to represent Jeremy, Nate, and me! Too cute! I was very appreciative of the sweet gift.
Third picture: This picture was captured when the boys were watching Happy Feet...I mean...Football. Haha! The boys enjoy their 'couch time' together and it is really cool to see the bond between the two of them. Nate is really talking a lot, and very well too, so it is cute to hear him say UNCLE GERMY now, instead of just ERMY.
Fourth picture: This picture has a funny little story attached to it. I was giving Nater a bath one night and Maverick came in and was hanging out with us. He kept sticking his nose in the tub to see what Nate was up to. I kept teasing Mave and saying, "Jump in with Nate Mave! You need a bath too!" He put a paw up but didn't get in, instead he settled with playing with Nate. Nate would put a bath toy in Mave's mouth and then Mave would toss it out. It is always really funny to watch those two play. Anyway, I finally got Nate out of the bath and took him into his room to get ready for bed. However, when we got in his room I heard this loud noise! I ran into the bathroom and Maverick had JUMPED INTO the tub! Obviously, he was waiting for Nate to get out so he could get IN! Of course, I could not resist grabbing my camera and snapping a shot of Maverick enjoying HIS time in the tub!
I am soooo blessed with my three boys. It has been SUCH a joy having Nate live with us, despite the terrible-two-year-old episodes!) and it has been so wonderful to be married to my very best friend! Even with instant parenthood, Jeremy and I have been blessed with a very good first year of marriage and I thank God everyday that He brought us back together. It has also been so awesome to see Maverick 'come back to life'! As many of you know, Maverick was diagnosed with cancer LAST OCTOBER. He was given only a few months, if that, and now he is going on ONE year. He definitely has had a lot more energy and it has been so fun to watch him enjoy playing ball and running around again. We just got some new X-rays taken of his tumor and it appears that the tumor is not as visible! God is SOOO good! We have been so blessed to have this unexpected time with him. We still miss Grahamy greatly, but we are definitely cherishing our time with Mave.
Until the next post we wish everyone well!
First picture: Nater was in desperate need of a haircut (a good one...not just a trim by HONEY)...so I took him into Great Clips and got his hair cut AND we added a little mohawk! It turned out super cute but that may be the only day you see it like that! Every time I try and put some of Uncle Jeremy's hair gel in his hair, Nate wants to help too and he ends up knocking the mohawk right down! Oh well, I have learned you gotta pick your battles!
