Nate turned 5!

 We had such a fun visit from our favorite babysitter in Missouri, Christina! She helped us for a week with the kids while Dave and I worked day and night to get ready to open shop! Not sure how I didn't get any pictures of when Grandma Shelly came to help the week before we opened. Probably because we were never home to take the pictures of the fun they were having!


 What a fun visit from the Draper's! Nate wanted to re-enact the Civil War for his birthday party. We went to a spot behind our house and the kids fought. Ash and Sadie mapped out who would be on the north and south. Nate wanted to be General Grant. Nate's only complaint was that some of the kids didn't splat on the ground when they were "killed". He wanted full on acting!
 Dave and the cousins made Nate's Civil War cake. They had a little too much fun with the red frosting.

 We had a big open house for our office. The girls made a darling sign for a raffle we were having. The morning of our open house, Nate woke up concerned that he hadn't made a sign for the open house. He skipped breakfast because he was so engrossed in making a sign. We weren't sure where to put it but ended up putting it right on the front door. It was a hit. Especially the picture of Dad working on a patient. Nate is really into making "bubble" letters these days.
Ash and Sadie had a blast helping at the open house. We got lots of compliments on our two cute receptionists!

Happy Birthday Nate! And good luck on the new office. What a special adventure for your family. You can tell the kids all feel a part of it.
