We went to Papah's house this weekend so Evan could hunt with my dad. Evan got a deer early Saturday morning, so he spent the rest of the weekend working on a paper for school and cutting up deer meat (with his wonderful wife wrapping it for him).
Nathan really enjoys being outside at Papah's house because there is so much room. He loves the trains that come by, and I hate the fact that there is another track somewhere close to Papah's house. Nathan kept hearing trains on the other track and dragging me to the window saying, "Choo choo?" Poor thing.
Most of these pictures were taken at a park close to Papah's house. Mom and I took Nathan there to play for a while. He was a bit tired and didn't want to look at the camera at all. :-)
Today has gone by pretty quickly. I washed clothes, bought a meat grinder, and got a few grocery items (mostly for Nathan) for our few days back at our house. Oh, I have also been working on gifts. I have suddenly had the realization that Christmas is coming way too soon, and I am not prepared. Usually Evan helps a lot with presents, but these past two years he has been MIA due to school. Not helpful. I also think I've been doing my best not to think about Christmas, and now I am having to buck up and look it in the face. I heard a Christmas song on the radio today (why before Thanksgiving, I do not know), and I'm not getting the same warm, fuzzy feelings that I usually get upon hearing a Christmas song. Today would've made eight months.

It's going to be okay, Rachel. :) I know it's hard at times, but I also know that God will see you through this time just like He's done before. I don't say that lightly, either, because He's the only One we can really trust, and that alone is enough. The pain is real, and I don't want to make light of that. Cry when you need to, because the process of grief is something you need to go through,(and it IS a process), but remember that you will see Nicholas again! I love you! I'm so glad that your MY daughter! :)
I was thinking about you this morning, knowing that this Christmas will be bittersweet. We'll be praying for grace and mercy to surround you this month. We haven't forgotten; you're not in this alone.
On a much brigher note, that first picture of you and Nathan is great. You should print and frame it.
Love ya.
