Where does time go to

I can't believe how fast time flies. We are staying really busy trying to get the camping lot fixed up, just had a new shed built, and of course spending time with Parker and Andrea. He is growing really fast and they change so quickly. I was in Kansas City MO over the weekend for the wedding of Daniel and Anna Blew, my cousins son. It was a really great wedding and definitely reflected the personalities of the bride and groom. Then I went to Linwood Kansas to look and a motor home we have been watching on Craig's list for a while. Keep your fingers crossed we might be getting a newer and nicer rig!!! We still have to get back up to Mark Twain to pack up our personal things so we can put the condo on the rental plan again. So much to do, but I don't dare mention that to Andrea she just rolls her eyes and asked what else would we be doing and that we now have all the time in the world. ( we really do stay busy)

Welcome Baby Nelson

opening day


Well we got back to St. Charles in time for our new baby. We went to Warrenton to the campground to find no water yet. We stayed in town and dry camped (no water or sewer) for 2 days and then went to Mark Twain to the condo. We were going to start packing our personal things so we can put the condo back on the rental plan. Good thing we have until Memorial Day, we didn't' get anything done. We relaxed caught up on rest and then received a call on Monday morning March 24th that Andrea was in labor and headed to the hospital. We packed the car and started the two hour trip in. We stopped by their house to drop off Sophi and then headed to St. Lukes (the same hospital Andrea was born in). Andrea had a long labor and a tough time at the end but at 12:42 am Tues. March 25th we welcomed Parker David Nelson into the world. 7lb 9oz at 19 1/2 inches. He is such a cutie and are very proud of our new little guy.

On our way home we stopped at Carlsbad Caverns and were really glad we did.
We walked down into the cavern instead of riding the elevator, but we were glad to ride them back. It was 750 ft. down to the Big Room where we took the self guided tour. If you ever get the chance to go it is worth the trip. But I will warn you there is absolutely nothing else around the area.
