Mark is pulling me and Nolan on the sled at the farmhouse in PA. Papa Dude made the snowman for his little grandson to see. We had so much fun visiting Meema and Papa Dude; we can't wait to see them again! Nolan started calling his grandpa Papa right off the plane and then very shortly after that added Dude because Papa would call Nolan "Hey dude!" whenever he saw him. One evening when Papa Dude was praying before a big family dinner, in the middle of it in the tiniest voice Nolan said with his hands together and his head bowed, "hey dude!" We were laughing it was so funny...... Nolan is talking up a storm (ha ha) and counting, saying letters, and saying hi and bye to people which is so new for him. He used to be so shy! He's a treat to spend time with every day....
