Snow and Signing

I imported this one before I realized a computer doesn't care which way a picture is facing and then I couldn't change it. Oh well, one more lesson to learn within the realm of blogging.





Keeping up with a blog doesn't seem to be as easy as it sounds. Guess I just need to make it part of my routine. Life is good in Provo. Keith is almost done with everything so we can all go flying off on a glorious vacation. We are looking forward to seeing both our families and enjoying the break. Nathan and I are keeping busy, playing hard, taking naps and alternately destroying and cleaning up the house.

We had three to four inches of snow last weekend and Nathan had a blast learning that snow tastes good. Keith was home on Saturday so we all went out to play. Nathan picked up on the idea of snowballs really quickly and since ball is one of his favorite words he had a lot to say. The snow is still sticking around, especially the huge piles of it that Keith helped some kids to put together. They will probably be here until spring.

Nathan has started signing a lot more which makes communication easier most of the time. Occasionally he'll sign something and I have no clue what he's talking about, which is hard for him to comprehend. Luckily he's a patient child and if he works at it long enough, eventually mom will figure out what he's saying so clearly. Overall though, signing is very helpful and he says "please" now whenever he wants something.
