Friday was a busy day. I took the kids to the gym, swimming lessons and had a newborn photo session. Around 8 pm I helped a friend decorate for a baby shower and didn't get home until around 10 pm. I was so exhausted, I hardly helped decorate because I was just so tired from the day. I really hadn't had any contractions that day and everything seemed pretty normal. I was slightly bummed because my Mom had convinced me if I took castor oil it would send me into labor that night so I had taken 4 teaspoons around 3pm on Friday. I later found out I was supposed to take 4 Tablespoons which was probably why I didn't have any side effects from the castor oil. In fact it felt as if I never even took it. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Anyway, I went to bed only to never actually get to sleep because around 11:15 I felt a few light contractions. We had decided, based on Molly's birth, that as soon as the first contractions came we would book it to the hospital. I was really hoping we would get there fast enough that I could get an epidural. I woke Nathan up around 11:30 and told him we should probably go to the hospital but that there was no rush because my contractions were really mild. I then texted my Mom and asked her to head over and she did. Nathan loaded the car and we left for the hospital just before midnight. The hospital is about 20-25 minutes away. About half way to the hospital I felt my water break and things turned intense. All of the sudden my contractions went from a 2 to a 10. We realized that we probably needed to call the hospital and tell them we were on our way and I was in labor. I was trying to google the number and ended up calling St. Francis on accident and then Nathan called some random St. Johns home health and luckily they knew the number to labor and delivery. We finally got a hold of labor and delivery and told them we were on our way and that it would be a fast labor (they didn't take us seriously). We showed up at the hospital a few minutes later and I was dying of pain. Luckily there was a nurse at the entrance waiting to wheel me to labor and delivery. She wheeled me to the triage room and asked me to change into a gown so she could check me in and asses the situation. I tried to explain I needed a delivery room because I was going to have this baby any minute and I was dying but it felt like no one was listening to me. I changed into the gown and then she checked me only to realized I was completely dilated and ready to push. I was laying on my back and had the worst back labor pains. I wanted so desperately to get this little lady out right then but there was no Dr. and they needed to move me to the labor and delivery room. So they moved me, and once again I felt like I was going die. I needed to get off my back but I couldn't move. We got into labor and delivery and everyone was frantically running around. I was screaming someone help me, I need to get this baby out. I felt like no one was listening when I heard a nurse ask, "Has someone called the Dr.?" I couldn't believe it, no one had even called the Dr.??? What??? So they finally got the Dr. in the room and I was ready Ruth out, actually I had been ready for awhile and all the chaos and pain had taken it's toll on me. I was seriously losing it and getting pretty angry. I pushed twice and her head came out only for the Dr. yell stop pushing and someone get the clamps. It was difficult to stop pushing a baby who was half way out while still having contractions. The cord was wrapped around her neck and apparently it was so tight that it needed to be cut before she could come out any more. I am sure it only took about 30 seconds to cut the cord off but it felt like an hour and it was awful. After the cord was cut there was one more push and she was out. The entire experience was chaotic and crazy. Out of all 4 children I felt the least in control during this birth. There were a few small complications after the birth but at the end of the day both baby Ruth and I were safe and healthy which is a huge blessing and miracle. We are so happy to have this little lady in our home. She is already so loved by her family.</div>

We are long overdue for an update...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
Caleb started school back in September. He goes every day, 9:00-2:30. It feels like a long time for preschool so sometimes I keep him home and we go to the library, zoo, children's museum ect.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Ethan goes to school every Thursday from 9:00-2:30. He loves it but has a hard time getting there. The poor kid is such a homebody and prefers to stay with his Mom. It's one of the biggest reason I wanted him to go. He isn't social like Caleb and sometimes has a hard time relating and playing with his peers. I want him to be able to socialize with other kids and this cute little preschool is basically a day of learning all through play.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Molly is home with me all day every day. I love it. A few days a week we go to the local Y (where I workout) and she calls the child watch there her gym. She loves to pretend she is going to school when we go to the gym. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Nathan is also back in school. He is taking a VERY time consuming class this semester but we are making it work. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I have been really busy this month with photo shoots. This little business of mine has really taken off. I still have so much to learn but it is really been fun to do this. It also has forced Nathan to spend some quality time with the kids when I am gone. He can't retreat to the office fore homework when I am gone so he usually takes the kids to the movies, bike riding or a park. They have really loved this time with Dad and having Nathan's attention.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Sometimes life feels a little mundane or even boring but then the kids do something crazy like give each other hair cuts, super glue papers to a wall or they achieve new goals like riding without training wheels, writing their names or even better figure out how to get themselves breakfast and I realize what an adventure we are having and how sad I will be when my backdoor isn't full of dirty handprints and my office isn't over flowing with cut up paper, glue and pictures because although crazy and at times frustrating these kids are really do bring us our greatest joy and our happiest moments.</div>

We have been in our house for over a year now! The time has flown by. When we lived in Texas every year I posted pictures of our house, it was fun to see how things changed year after year. I kept waiting and waiting to take pictures until projects were finished and things were clean but yesterday I realized that wasn't possible. So I snapped a few of the downstairs and hopefully in the next few days I will add the rest of the house. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We love this house. We love the colors, all the light, the layout and the yard. We are not huge fans of the neighborhood though and that always leaves the "maybe we should move" question in the back of our mind.</div>

Almost a year ago I started planning a trip to Destin Florida. My Dad had mentioned he wanted to put together a family reunion. Trying to find a time and location that would fit everyone was a little difficult but we made it work. Destin was a days drive for Rachel and I so it seemed like a perfect location since we have children. And who doesn't love the BEACH??? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We arrived Monday afternoon and stayed until Sunday morning. Nathan didn't make the drive out with us because he was concerned about missing to much school. He flew in on Wednesday morning. Every day we played on the beach and in the pool. The water was amazingly clear and the kids had no problem jumping right in to search for fish and play around. I was surprised at how much they loved floating around in the Ocean. In the evenings we searched for and caught crabs, Molly was a little scared but the boys loved it. On Thursday we rented a large pontoon boat with slides. I think this was the highlight of the week for most people. On the boat ride we stopped and snorkeled, saw dolphins, swam, and slid down the awesome slides. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sunday morning we packed up and headed out. It was sad to leave but after almost 2 1/2 weeks of traveling to Texas and Florida I am ready to be home for a little bit. Overall this trip was a huge success. It has been almost 9 years since we have all been together and I think Destin was the perfect choice to make that happen again.</div>

A couple of weekends ago I took a few pictures of the kids. We need to have new family pictures taken but I haven't found a photographer I love as much as Ruth who isn't crazy expensive. So for the meantime a few pictures of the kids by me here and there will have to do. </div>

Saturday we had a pretty great birthday party for him. I decided the kids would get big parties at 5, 8, 12 and 16. This way the kids would get some fun big parties but I wouldn't be scrambling to plan and pay for them every year with every kid. Overall this party was a success. The kids loved the water slide, sno cones, food and atmosphere. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi28TN-jx_Kg9ko4Bm3jl3VaEDKIpu7gVedJALQ0_iAfI7a03v4X1tNUGrErvi9FWufpegUJVW80FYwp5HYY5jwxuNy3uVqKuTxBChQh8IBtxGIEr1VZ6RPAAdMDbOjWCdCYbfuAsCNdSU/s640/blogger-image--988610420.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYQSLTcCU062-MFo5ZgVtcEyYnaTKpcSzHExWLgscCYwRbx8CVWzzBVnHdbEp3pZjvlrKMnEpuckYPoKUUeAWb7HvVR1Alo0chSo_g2xQnW5MWk9F3bQOfyYFekYhvDGXQR3PURacctR4/s640/blogger-image-319474669.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYQSLTcCU062-MFo5ZgVtcEyYnaTKpcSzHExWLgscCYwRbx8CVWzzBVnHdbEp3pZjvlrKMnEpuckYPoKUUeAWb7HvVR1Alo0chSo_g2xQnW5MWk9F3bQOfyYFekYhvDGXQR3PURacctR4/s640/blogger-image-319474669.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi28TN-jx_Kg9ko4Bm3jl3VaEDKIpu7gVedJALQ0_iAfI7a03v4X1tNUGrErvi9FWufpegUJVW80FYwp5HYY5jwxuNy3uVqKuTxBChQh8IBtxGIEr1VZ6RPAAdMDbOjWCdCYbfuAsCNdSU/s640/blogger-image--988610420.jpg"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi91tw8mCyUUV6NBIVSvTGXIO8WLx7ie3M3HDAe3Lnvbtd3uNuOMSCLnc9j7gnbzqUCoCYop6P7bNna-JzyWTj6Ep8kIcSf8Di9R0W1jg5Md1eK2D5yBbAAWA6AiONnNTuvuT3l7tQ6EmE/s640/blogger-image-1513797778.jpg"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNUJPF9JHy_TlPbciKdVI1MQAGI58cPcPPOcd-HYD8J56UWPVFb42CHDsQTFZO1MaQ6odJMeF-3pAiLQzal80qGusQO70ia3SWpz0-2aF-vHdX8nNoer4Yoplbpl31Mm7Rgi4MHsnWExY/s640/blogger-image--1932908420.jpg"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaDfps-cmeEu3-dyRm5gpY6JWUxPGlxDSCD6Ar3E2cIl_zHX2KxcTPOjPvUzd8_tABTUN8OII6Wj6X4FyozW-XPysJA9BhKVrINpkiBFl8mTXjuXGPL4NBePLjUTUV8DEqCkpTV6RMBU4/s640/blogger-image-47872902.jpg"></div>Heidi and Nathanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09436325402757306946noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-526519925190418041.post-29068467348701079162016-05-23T12:27:00.001-07:002016-05-23T12:27:39.118-07:00Camp bandageLast weekend we attended camp bandage.

Last week I took the kids up to Missouri with my Dad. We went to see James graduate from Basic training. It was a hard trip, 3 kids in a hotel room isn't my favorite thing but I am really glad we went. The graduation ceremony gives you a small glimpse into what these guys go through and what it takes to not only complete this program but live this life and it's no small sacrifice. We were able to spend two days hanging out with James and then they shipped him of to AIT (advanced individual training) where he will receive training on becoming a medic. We are really excited and proud of him. We can't wait to see what the future holds.</div>

This sweet girl turned 2 this week. It's really hard for me to accept that she is growing up. She has been such a sweet and fun little baby. Although I will admit these last few weeks a more intense, dramatic and unhappy side has started to emerge. It's a tad scary. Things have been busy around here so we had a really low key birthday. We ate chicken nuggets and mashed potatoes (Molly's favorite) and some nutella cupcakes. She only had one present to open. It was a Doc Mcstuffins check up center and it has been a hit with all the kids. I really did have a little more planned but I ended up getting a bad migraine in the morning and since that knocks me out for several hours (it's hard to do much when you can't see and are sitting over a toilet puking) Nathan ended up just coming home and taking the kids to the children's museum instead. Hopefully next year we can do more and I am grateful she is so young she didn't even notice we didn't celebrate. </div>

One of the things we love about this house is the acres and acres of cattle ranches that surround us. Our backyard backs right up to all these cows. The kids, especially Molly love to sit at the fence and watch the cows. I try not think about how small the fence in between them really is, and how large the cows really are. It's our own little piece of country right in the city, minus the mess and work of country. It's perfect.</div>

These little boys obsessively love super heroes. Last week I was picking Caleb up from school and he told me he had a good idea, which was them dressing up in their costumes and fighting and I would take pictures. I laughed and then said ok, I am trying to learn more about my camera so I am usually up for some practice. They loved it, and I think I will print a few for their super hero themed room. These two certainly keep us busy and entertained.</div>

I know it is really late but Caleb started pre-K this past year. It was a hard decision to send him to school and I went back and forth for months. Here in Oklahoma they have preschool through the public school and it is from 9-2:30 every single day. I personally felt like it was way to much schooling for him at this age. I looked around for other alternatives but there wasn't really anything that fit Caleb's needs. Caleb lives to play with other children. He makes friends everywhere we go and he is devastated days we don't leave the house, which is why I decided to enroll him in school. We put him in with the idea that we would see how it went and if he didn't like it or it wasn't working out we would pull him out. Well, he loves it. His teacher is absolutely amazing and he loves her. So far it has been wonderful and he wants to go every day. I have decided to keep him home one day a week to take him on a fun day, so one day a week he skips school and we go to the aquarium, zoo, park or just have a play date with friends at our house. I miss having him at home but I love how much he has learned and I love how much Ethan has changed getting the opportunity to be the oldest while Caleb is at school. Overall I really don't have any complaints.</div>

We celebrated his birthday with a custard cake from Freddie's and then a nice, kidless dinner and bowling with friends. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVk1mZfYenkGa0SJptTONdij2BRjP2S0qmYl1bEjU4uiR9Ih7yahqE5L6gjx5c9dw0Tui-r41a8T2xGc4vjHrCtotOavLZzuDdkYwf5nZ_47Z9xFrWSbrDC_tLlZKV0eeGQxdN0IuLjYw/s640/blogger-image--858161128.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVk1mZfYenkGa0SJptTONdij2BRjP2S0qmYl1bEjU4uiR9Ih7yahqE5L6gjx5c9dw0Tui-r41a8T2xGc4vjHrCtotOavLZzuDdkYwf5nZ_47Z9xFrWSbrDC_tLlZKV0eeGQxdN0IuLjYw/s640/blogger-image--858161128.jpg"></a></div>Heidi and Nathanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09436325402757306946noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-526519925190418041.post-12567346136495642562016-01-03T13:38:00.001-08:002016-01-03T13:38:28.524-08:00ChristmasWe had a wonderful Christmas season this year. We watched several miracles unfold with those around us and we were able to participate in a number of service activities. It's always fun to see and participate in Christ centered activities. This year we were able to take the kids with us Christmas shopping for our angel tree names. They each had a name. We told them about the kids and then they picked out some clothes and toys for that child. We thought it went really well and were feeling a little too proud. The next day we woke up to Caleb and Ethan playing with one of the toys. They told us they were still planning on giving it away, they just wanted to test it out first. That was a little bit of a set back. Better luck next year.<div><br></div><div>I was able to participate in both boys Christmas parties. Calebs at his school and Ethan's at our house with the joy school kids. We made cookies, gingerbread houses and snowmen.

A few months ago we decided to build a table for a family we know who has 7 kids. They needed a big family table and I found this simple design on a popular blog. Nathan took a look and decided with a little tweaking it was doable and with some donated wood we got to work. I mostly just helped with cutting, planing and staining the wood. In the end the table was beautiful, pictures don't even begin to show how good the top looked. We (along with the family who got it) were completely happy with the results. We are still hoping to make some benches but we need to get some more scrap wood. It's so fun to watch Nathan work and create.

It was pretty extensive and I was warned several times by the doctor and past patients that it would be a hard recovery. And it has been. I have struggled with my throat and sinuses for a long time but it just never seemed like a good time. Finally a couple months ago Nathan pushed me to do it and although I'm still so miserable I can't say I'm happy yet, I'm sure I will be in a few months. Everything went really well, except the post op bc the try to push you out the door before you can even walk. I hear that's typical though so I guess I was getting the normal treatment. Anyways here is to many wonderful years of being able to breathe and enjoy the outdoors and hopefully no more years stuck at urgent care trying to get steroids for strep.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKFvMmeolm0_QLNKv0Fi3pDhJHBacKpqQ7ggOfwsgQhe9iONU_GXbdP0WFyfbjzyU49tyDSmr0lI4O67h_5ZN-uBeXapmp1Zq_Gx77eo43JfsUaKjcNyW7-QrITFfTiq7fuukS9u3HRko/s640/blogger-image--1283291944.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKFvMmeolm0_QLNKv0Fi3pDhJHBacKpqQ7ggOfwsgQhe9iONU_GXbdP0WFyfbjzyU49tyDSmr0lI4O67h_5ZN-uBeXapmp1Zq_Gx77eo43JfsUaKjcNyW7-QrITFfTiq7fuukS9u3HRko/s640/blogger-image--1283291944.jpg"></a></div>Heidi and Nathanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09436325402757306946noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-526519925190418041.post-87056969091874827902015-11-20T18:11:00.000-08:002015-11-20T18:11:21.590-08:00photography class<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A few weeks ago I finally took a photography class. I have had a DSLR camera for awhile now but have had no idea how to use it other then shooting on auto. So I finally enrolled in a class with a friend and learned how to shoot on manual. Now I have a LONG way to go before I am any sort of pro but it has been really fun. I am finally not afraid of my camera, and well that is a pretty good feeling. Here are a few of the pictures I took for my class assignments. </div>

It was so fun to see our Texas friends, oh how I have missed them so much. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">We had a great time together. We stayed in radio city apartments right by Times Square and then packed all 4 days in with activities. We bought purses in the back rooms in china town, ate street food, took tours of the city, rode bikes in Central Park, visited the Statue of Liberty and Ellis island, ate at famous restaurants, went shopping, navigated our way on the subway, went to a Broadway and toured the 9/11 museum and memorial. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I didn't take a ton of pictures because I was so busy soaking in the wonders of the city. It's a crazy place and full of unexpected experiences around every corner. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">It was an awesome trip and I can't wait until we have another girls "reunion" trip. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBCjrj1RCjjog6HpwS83s3dOaV6FuEFE1FS8uGlGit8KaQ6Y_HQad2C_bQHF2T5nzamCZgaS7_-xM18BOq6FCUNNYfsiL1nHvaoBH78O3AbkRjaScnzf_jcyg0s0jzezuUBYIBdWBN2TY/s640/blogger-image-542555921.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1twQe-qlnO3P1clhLlqvYlSJ0UtmjQCCC2ONaJi79Ov18HqANEBZ9q0M788SsodqBZRn3Zb320Kus1sU7jOgVfA-xNoHQ59nUc2S5_ucvF93LXqEVizW5jMX4HfzzIoOkPF62seFAh_Q/s640/blogger-image--706705016.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1twQe-qlnO3P1clhLlqvYlSJ0UtmjQCCC2ONaJi79Ov18HqANEBZ9q0M788SsodqBZRn3Zb320Kus1sU7jOgVfA-xNoHQ59nUc2S5_ucvF93LXqEVizW5jMX4HfzzIoOkPF62seFAh_Q/s640/blogger-image--706705016.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBCjrj1RCjjog6HpwS83s3dOaV6FuEFE1FS8uGlGit8KaQ6Y_HQad2C_bQHF2T5nzamCZgaS7_-xM18BOq6FCUNNYfsiL1nHvaoBH78O3AbkRjaScnzf_jcyg0s0jzezuUBYIBdWBN2TY/s640/blogger-image-542555921.jpg"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4WjmrjU3Iu2FbXrFdtd50Ks4AxSItNDw_D3rd4w-1Ju-3RcA6p8Ybqrm3_ftyuJClW9sEh4ykseOVLPo-C_rt5Ajs_MJ2d1NyNpiS0DcvuHsklk0UJHi-xeS3bLO2ovX97LzoJUrtQuE/s640/blogger-image-1326662096.jpg"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkWkYeg8WZQ52y5kAxPM_UUZDgQUf7NaLWMKasJnNl1B_rad8MNmv32do_N3IuIELHnxzXPe9piqzhB-tKoDBASJoAU6zngJ4TVr22PO7kRfw7Rcv9U42zc5K6b-hVyX4G7igUbXcppyE/s640/blogger-image-1262086576.jpg"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLNsklWOUpk0y2SDOz9cY5kY1rKlCZ31sotRJN4p3eeXKaZAdjUA6900sJeNmieVgczNeZ_Y5nj0uPgZsyCuyyGXJivD8J22Pnnk8PKRE4vry6H2aUEno10HkKo-eLQCOGlGDIrZJf25A/s640/blogger-image-1160471814.jpg"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidTT9ebR4k1-WXLQi80A8RXKbB9833HGwQOpHHG_07MePHl-qb1vDtM9fDfdKtya_kI1ovCYkBLKIY-wYBNtvHOHBA9QQG3Htbh-EKo2lAdmvegoPwWhP1UzS6pZO3AQ7jIIRpVubJdNQ/s640/blogger-image-385337580.jpg"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_B93gyLt5dbdysof5CKvFcefd2I2ij1Ue5boUWzHacybBt3bE1X4-aeDFVNUuQxCyOTtu7UXcFm3BVwUGrtlCDC2dmBLjTrKf6f4ee9qBgcjHEaI1wzjMUwiLbXo5jJS6IwEoNQtZp2Y/s640/blogger-image-1544771567.jpg"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgfzMFg7GAvYd-VtRGzdFIlb525LE6QK5ySOzOVHxRW1XPyToT1TxaAzcgjE8jGWKnOXn3x1pfMUVFNhhZn0pEzWldr5Njlr4I4Xroe3c1RWthzNkpHTBCOBhyI2uejgA1IDqUH1BCtJc/s640/blogger-image--1525914291.jpg"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoN7t18s4o-p5xHC7QUWpFSawpB-p_xqp_b5MJjAOHfLVL5u72jU8t-fbx97rBvA4qk83eFdaW-8UYhnqSWOFDjprhl6-tKPUVEWlGvk7sHBCTrcGURZz9fALUolvz_91YGu_afc0ffCs/s640/blogger-image-861278355.jpg"></div>Heidi and Nathanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09436325402757306946noreply@blogger.com1
