Hunting Widows & Orphans

T & I spent some QT being hunting widow/orphan this year.  We enjoyed baking, shopping, and taking in a Children's Theater performance of Alladin.  T loved Princess Jasmine. :)

But since our hunter was SUCCESSFUL and scored himself an elk, we had to help him cut it up!

Daddy's Girl

Dear Tatum,

You are so lucky to have a Daddy who adores you more than anything else in this world.  I know how lucky you are, because before you came along, I held the title of Daddy's favorite.  But I am overjoyed that I get to pass the torch to you, beautiful girl. Your Daddy literally tears up daily because he is SO.IN.LOVE. with you.

His heart is BURSTING with pride, joy, and love for his little girl. And this Mama thinks that is the most special thing.

This picture explains it all. On this night, you were dressed in your most beautiful princess gear, and you asked, "Daddy, will you be my King?"  And this my dear, is how your Daddy would love to spend the rest of all his days - as your King.

And Baby Makes FOUR!

Well, 5 if you include our FIRST Baby:

But Tatum made this announcement to family and close friends in September:

And THIS announcement went viral in October:

 We are so excited to announce that THIS BABY will be joining us soon:

West Coast!

Mr. Nagle had to get "trained" in Seattle for a few days, so T & I headed off with him to the West Coast! We had the pure pleasure of playing all day while Daddy worked. :) After 3 days in Seattle, we headed down the coast to Cannon beach.  Then it was off to Portland for a night at Daddy's favorite PDX hotel where he stays for work. Who knew he was VIP there? And then a night with the Fielder family and we were all spent!

2 Zoos, An Aquarium, the Ocean, too much Seafood, and this family was ready to be back to the Inland Northwest. :)
