Goodies from Daddy!

Bill returned this afternoon around 5:00.  Nolan and I were so excited to see Bill we didn't even notice the bag of goodies he brought us.  Nolan didn't know who Bill was when he walked into the house.  Poot's eyes became really big and he stared at Bill like, you sound familiar do I know you!?!

Saturday, Bill, Bopie, and Uncle Joe, went to Shaker Village of Pleasant Hill, Kentucky.  Shaker Village is a historic Shaker community in central Kentucky.  While there, the guys went on a Riverboat ride on the Kentucky River.  Bill went into a craft store while waiting to go on the Riverboat Ride and bought Nolan and I some goodies.

Daddy kept Nolan and I updated with pictures while he was away on his trip.  Here is Bill on the Kentucky Lake Riverboat Ride.

Bill bought Nolan a handcrafted wooden rattle.  Poot LOVES it, except he doesn't shake it like a rattle, he chews on it like a chew toy!!  The way Nolan was chewing on the rattle, one would have thought it was a piece of steak.  I was worried the wood was covered in a polyurethane finish, but a piece of paper in the box states, the wood is covered with a safe oil finish.  I wanted to make sure it didn't taste chemically, so i chewed on the rattle as well.  It tasted like wood and nothing else!!  Bill thought I was crazy for chewing on the rattle! Bill brought me a beautiful handmade vase.  It will definitely be used in the future whenever Nolan brings me dandelions. :)

 Get it!!

My pretty vase and the box Poot's rattle came in!!

Thank you so much Daddy.  We love our gifts, but love having you back home even MORE!!
