Back from the library and reading in his box on the deck. All of these moving boxes turn out to come in handy! Also...Nate won the library drawing for free zoo passes for his whole family after being signed up for a local library card for just a couple of days! Go Natester!!

This is the look of someone whose mother just pulled out his super duper wiggly tooth. Nate wonders when he will start losing his top teeth. Bottom teeth seem in a hurry to exit!

Nate got all of the lucky cards in Mille Bornes... driving ace, puncture proof, right of way, and extra tank! Nate is also about to lose a tooth any minute now. Stay tuned.
