Here is a recent photo of Andy and Nathan during our trip to Las Vegas in June 2007. We thought this trip would be great in every way, but Andy was ill (sinus infection, fever, and vommiting) the entire time that we were there. David attended a conference for work, while Gary and his mom, who flew in from LA, watched the boys. We stayed at the MGM Grand hotel and got upgraded to a suite (featured in this photo) which was really nice because it allowed us a lot more room. After David's conference ended, we spent the later part of the trip with Gary's cousin at her Las Vegas home. We also celebrated Gary's 39th birthday while there.

Since this is Nathan's adoption blog, here is a quick update on him...He's doing very well, now 21 months old. He's about average height for his age, but very skinny. He wears 9 month shorts still. He has about 30 or so words, but makes himself understood with grunts and pointing if he doesn't have the right words to communicate. He is very stubborn and persistent. He runs, climbs, jumps, and is into everything. His latest thing is climbing onto the kitchen chairs and then the kitchen tabletop. Not the safest place for him to be, but despite being so active and adventurous, he is careful.
