Nate Turns 6

Where did the time go? I'm not exactly sure, but I really wish real life had a "slow" button. I'm not exactly ready for my youngest child to be 6. It doesn't seem that it was really 6 years ago that he was born.

But it was, none-the-less. And since it is his birthday, and he is indeed 6, I want to take this time to give my not-so-little peanut a little shout out.

Nate- not a day has gone by that you haven't brought sunshine to our lives. I love you from here to the moon, to outer space and back a million times. We love you and are so blessed to have you as a son. Happy 6th Birthday, Peanut!

Coldplay

Coldplay is hands down my favorite musical artist. I have ALWAYS wanted to go to concert ever since I saw one of their European concerts on TV once when Grace was a baby. The concert was soooo good it made me want to go, and usually I'm not really interested in concerts.

Anyway, I've been looking to see if they had any concert dates any time soon. I recently looked a week or two ago, and there were no US tour dates on the schedule. I wondered if they'd ever come back to the US. Then the other night, I saw a commercial for a presale that started today! I quickly looked online and sure enough there were US tour dates added. So today, we bought tickets to a Coldplay concert! I haven't been to a concert in over 10 years! I am so excited! I cannot wait.

The downside?

The concert is June 29th! A little over 6 months away. Oh well, I can wait. At least they're coming to America. :)

Speak To The Devil

The other day Ray had said the phrase, "Speak of the devil" while he and I were talking, and Nate wondered what that meant. So Ray explained it to him.

Today, we hear Nate try to explain to Grace what "Speak to the devil" means using the same explanation for "Speak of the devil."

We obviously corrected, after laughing of course.

Gotta love kids! I'm sure going to miss days like these when they're gone.

Unconcentrate

Nate: (quietly thinking about something)

Daddy: "Hey, Nate."

Nate: "Wait, Daddy. You made me unconcentrate."

So cute. I will certainly miss these days where my kids say the funniest things.
