Hanging with the Hygienists
As most of you know I am a Dental Hygienist and I went to Hygiene school at Lewis and Clark Community College. While attending college, I met a great group of girls and we have still remained in contact today. Among that group of girls are Brooke and Linda. Today, Brooke stopped by to see Nolan for the first time. Brooke brought a few goodies for Nolan including a Mizzou Tigers outfit. Brooke said since her and Joe moved to Missouri she has to represent! Thanks Brookie for my cool outfit!! Brooke, Nolan, and I met Linda at Applebee's to have a delicious lunch. Nolan is pretty much a regular in the restaurants. We had a good time catching up and of course the girls think Nolan looks like Bill. Oh well, at least his daddy is a good looking guy! After we ate, we all came back to the house to cuddle with Nolan a few times and then the girls left for the afternoon.

Mommy's Little Sagittarius
I went to Old Navy the other day and saw little outfits with zodiac signs on them. Of course, I had to buy one for Nolan. As I was looking at the different zodiac signs, I remembered the recent conflict of the changes of zodiac signs due to the Earth's rotational change. I went ahead and bought the outfit because I couldn't pass it up. I came home and found this lovely article and instant relief overcame me. Nolan is STILL a Sagittarius!! I thought this article would be interesting for Nolan to look at when he was older, so I went ahead and copied and pasted the article onto the blog.
The field of astrology, which is concerned with horoscopes and the like, felt a major disruption from astronomers, who are concerned with actual stars and planets. The astronomers from the Minnesota Planetarium Society found that because of the moon's gravitational pull on Earth, the alignment of the stars was pushed by about a month.

"When [astrologers] say that the sun is in Pisces, it's really not in Pisces," noted Parke Kunkle, a member of the group's board. Your astrological sign is determined by the position of the sun on the day you were born, so that means everything you thought you knew about your horoscope is wrong.
It turns out that astrology has had issues from its inception. (Aside from the fact that it tries to link personality traits with positions of the stars.) Ancient Babylonians had 13 constellations, but wanted only 12, so threw out Ophuchicus, the snake holder. Libra didn't even enter the picture until the era of Julius Caesar.

To the Beeler Farm We Go
Nolan and I went to visit Grandma Donna at her work place today. We left Glen Carbon around 11:30am and made it to Hillsboro around 12:45pm. It was my first big trip with Nolan all by myself. We made pretty good time and Nolan got a nice nap in. After showing Nolan off around the office, we all went out to eat at no other than Mexican!! The parking lot was so slick and covered with ice that when I parked my truck, it slid back a few inches. After the truck stopped sliding, we made it in to eat a few tacos and shredded chicken nachos......delicious!!
After Grandma Donna and I finished eating we decided it would be fun to take Nolan for a surprise visit to see Great Grandma Beeler. Boy was she surprised!! Grandma Beeler kept saying how much Nolan looks exactly like "Billy" did when he was that age. I believe it. Nolan is definately his daddy's son. I text cousin Ethan to tell him we would be at the Beeler's and he should stop by to see Nolan. Great Uncle Joe showed up too. The Joe Beeler family bought Nolan his first camo outfit from Cabela's. Nolan now has an outfit to wear while shooting his Henry Golden Boy Rifle! Thanks for the camo outfit!!

A Visit to Vandalia
After all the guys returned from their trip to Wisconsin, we all headed to Vandalia for cousin Bryce's Birthday Party. Nolan was able to meet all of his cousins, aunts, and uncles on the Young side of the family. He did great at the party. I took a few pictures at the birthday party, but not everyone was able to get a picture with Nolan. I guess we will have to have another family get together, so we can take more pictures!!
Cousin Olivia was the first to hold Nolan!!

Nolan's First Hair Cut!!
Nolan had his first hair cut Sunday, February 6th!! Nolan's hair has been growing as fast as he himself has been growing. His hair was so long it had grown past his earlobes and the spike that stuck straight up in the back had easily grown to at least a couple of inches. I finally talked Nana into trimming Nolan's hair. Nolan started out asleep on Aunt Kelby's shoulder, but he eventually woke up and was moved to my arms and fed. Nana did a great job and I cannot believe how much the hair cut changed Nolan's looks. He looks like a little boy now instead of a baby.

On the Road Again
Once again Nolan and I have made a trip to Coffeen for the weekend. Bill took Nolan and I to work with him Friday morning and Papa T met us at Nevco to take us back to their house. I was a little worried about getting up at 5:30am and getting Nolan ready on time for Bill to make it to work by 7:00, but it went great and we were even a little early!! It's nice practice for when I go back to work.
The plan was for Nolan and I to spend the weekend in Coffeen, so Bill could work on his thesis. Papa T had other plans; Papa T called Bill and asked him to go to Wisconsin with him, Uncle Wade, and Schylar to go snowmobling. Of course, Bill could not pass up this opportunity so the guys left Friday after Bill got off of work. Bill was pretty excited to get out of the house and have an excuse to not have to work on his thesis. Nolan and I are glad Daddy could have some fun too.

Nolan is hanging out with the girls again this weekend. Nana, Aunt Kelby, and Mommy know how to have a good time!! Friday we hung out in the house while Nana worked. Cousin Bryce stopped by with Poppy to see Nolan and got to hold him. Bryce was already talking football with Nolan! Friday night us girls and Nolan went out to eat at the Mexican restuarant in Hillsboro. We decided to pop in and surprise Great Grandma and Grandpa Chesser with a visit. Aunt Becky, Aunt Julie, Uncle Bob, and Derek came over to see Nolan or "Little Bill" as everyone calls him.

Nolan Henson
Nolan's big brother, Boog. We let Boog in the house to meet Nolan and Boog didn't know what to think. He just layed down on the ground and whimpered. I cannot wait for Nolan to get older, so he can play with Booga!! Bill and I really miss having Boog in Glen Carbon with us, but hopefully in a couple of years we will get a house in the country, so Boog can come and live with us again!!
