Lowe's Speedway Charlotte, North Carolina




Natalie got to experience rolling down the speedway minus all the race cars. She is such a nut. There was an awesome contemporary Christian concert. We got to hear Mercy Me, Fee, Toby Mac live in concert at the Nascar. Actually, it was all alot of fun, although it did get pretty chilly and windy even for us. There is alot of pre-race activities from vendors, displays, tailgate parties going on until the race begins at 7:00 pm. Jimmie Johnson was the winner with car number 48 who is sponsored by Lowe's. There are probably about 50 contestants in the race. They fly the professional racers in by helicopter about an hour before the action. #48 won the race at about 11:30 pm which was 500 laps I think. Bernie had made reservations for all of us before we left AK and it was a first for all of us including Adam.

Will is One Year Old!!










It's hard to believe, but Will is one year old today!! He is sporting his new cowboy boots in one of these pictures and will soon be stomping around as soon as he can walk...he's close! He is a beautiful boy who is full of energy and curiosity. He is always happy and usually content, unless Greta is pestering him. He went to his one year Dr. appt. today and weighs in at 19.10 pounds and is in the 85th percentile for his height. I wonder where he got that? He loves to explore and will soon be walking. Natalie made these great pumpkin cupcakes and also these cute owl Rice Krispy treats with little Oreos for eyes and a candy corn for the beak. He loved the cupcake and Greta helped with blowing out the candle. He is a treasure!
