Ever since Nathan was born, we've been showing him the world: Las Vegas, Los Angeles, San Diego, Flagstaff, Washington, New Mexico. Through it all we have become experts on Residence Inns (thanks to Mark's work), living more out of suitcases and hotels than in our apartment, and getting quickly through security with a baby. When Nathan was 4 months old, Mark and I were standing in the security line with Nathan when the man in front of us remarked, "this must be his first flight." I said, uh, no actually, it's his 10th. To think I never got on a plane until I was 13 years old.
Here are some of the highlights from the past 8 months:

First trip on the plane with a 4 week old- Vegas!
Well, Nathan and I went to see Grandma and Grandpa Tew while Mark worked at the Venetian.
Yes, that is Nathan in front of an actual Monet Water Lilies (Getty Museum, Los Angeles). He'll thank me later, I'm sure.

Oh, actually, they are ready to party!

A beautiful morning in Flagstaff, AZ ~ Much better here than in the heat of Phoenix
Our quick trip to Provo for my best friend Tatia's wedding. Nathan wanted to eat her flowers.
Costa Vida, Provo ~ this is where we went out to eat on our first date.
Memorial Day Weekend in Memorial Park (still in Provo- see the Y?)
The Tew family reunion in Yosemite National Park- Nathan meets his Aunt Adrienne and two cousins.

Waterfalls in Yosemite ~ what a stylish hat

Nathan in his element.
We went to visit our good friends, Russ and Heather, in Dallas. They showed us around Fort Worth- yeehaw!
Do you know what important historical event took place here?
On the road to New Mexico. If you look closely you can see Nathan in the mirror. After trying out little $1.99 mirrors that didn't work, I finally invested in a huge rear mirror so we can see cute little Nathan in the rear view mirrow.

Okay, the picture of Mark & Nathan "after a hard day's work" is HILARIOUS!!! Love it! I also love the enormous cowboy hat Nathan wore. As for the historical site... ummm... I give up - maybe the Alamo?
