Random Stuff



A few weeks ago Concordia had their annual benefit auction and this is what some sweet friends got for us... a Daddy Diaper Bag Basket. It has so many wonderful things! Here's the contents...

Thank you, Mary and Julie! What a sweet and thoughtful gift! Nathan will look so awesome sporting this masculine daddy diaper bag! (He's kinda rolling his eyes right now but no worries, he'll see that real men DO carry diaper bags!)








Recently we went camping with our friend, Brian, at his family's ranch in Pearsall. Zeta and I just went up for the day but Nathan camped out overnight. Here's Nathan preparing dinner for everyone. Brian sure does have it made on these camp outs! Nathan does all the work. (Sorry, Brian! You know it's true!) He does all the cooking. Kills the rattle snakes. Gathers all the wood and supplies to make the fire. Brian's main role in the outing is to just sit in his chair with a book and repeatedly say, " Gosh, it just feels so good to sit here and relax." Well, duh!

Check out the "grill" Nathan cooked on...
I know what you're thinking......Rednecks, right? Don't think that, rather, think....resourceful! In case you haven't figured out what our grill is, it's an old single bed frame. It worked great! There used to be a normal, more civilized iron grill out there but we don't know what happened to it. Maybe some of the deer hunters took it.

Below is the beautiful sunset.

The diaper bag basket looks awesome. Nathan will be happy to have the daddy diaper bag. He will at some point have to carry it, and it will be much better than the girlie version you'll be carrying : )

I looks like he was cooking for an Army! You guys have so much fun! Did he really kill a snake? Rattlers are one of the few things I am afraid in the great outdoors. (Well, moose, bears & coyotes too.)

I knew I forgot something - the sunset photo is breathtaking. It looks like a card!
