A Spring Walk downtown

Gregory Vedders — Thu, 01 Apr 2010 01:37:07 +0000

A warm March evening inspired the Vedders Family to take a walk down town. The boys started out on their scooters and Mackenzie slept in her stroller while Monica and I walked behind. Other than some tired feet (and some blistered feet ) everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. For our first real walk outdoors we did pretty well, 2.27 miles in 59 minutes. Thanks to Motion-X GPS, some stats from our walk are listed below.

Letter From Santa

Merry Christmas everyone!

The Vedders Family had a quite a surprise when we awoke today. Down stairs waiting by an empty plate of Christmas Cookies we found a note from Santa himself. It read:

Merry Christmas Nathaniel and Zachary! The cookies you left for me were very yummy in my tummy…I can tell that you made them fresh for me just before I arrived. I know you two have had trouble listening to Mom and Dad a time or two this past year, but for the most part you were very good. I know you guys will work on it for next year. Thank you for taking the time to visit me at River Town Crossings Mall. I really enjoyed talking to you. For being so good this past year, I’ve brought you just what you wanted…Zachary, a guitar and crash car and for Nathaniel some animal daycare things. Just so you know, the blue paper and the green and white Santa paper are Nathaniel’s presents and the green paper and the red Santa paper are Zachary’s presents. Well boys I have to run, I’ll be sure to say hi to Rudolf and all my reindeer for you. Keep up the good work and I’ll see you next year.

Love,

Mr. C

That Mr. C, you really can’t get anything past him. It’s almost as though he sees you when you’re sleeping, he knows when you’re awake, and he knows if you’ve been bad or good. All I can say is, be good for goodness sake!

Knapp Charter Academy’s 2008 Holiday Program

Nathaniel preformed with his classmates from Knapp Charter Academy on Monday December 15. This part of the program featured the first, second, and third graders at the school. Nathaniel and his fellow classmates did a superb job. I must apologize in advance for the poor video quality, the lighting was not overly conducive for recording. At any rate, enjoy!

See Who made Santa’s List

Just the other day I was wondering how Nathaniel and Zachary were doing on Santa’s Naughty or Nice list. It just so happens that the Jolly man himself happened to send me a video explaining how they were doing. Feel free to check for your self to see how Nathaniel and Zachary stack up on Santa’s list. Oh, and one more thing, you better watch out I know Santa is watching you too.
