Go ahead and drool

This is quite a disappointing picture to open up to if you're looking for Nathanael, but the last post is pure Nathanael, and this one has some cutie pictures below.  I wanted the screens at the bottom, and obviously failed so we start with the screen.
 
I am tickled pink to announce that the first screen was hung!  That was a much bigger project than anticipated, and we have a ways to go, but one screen up in our bedroom is reducing mosquito traffic already.

 Look at this adorable sweetie!  Utterly precious. 
 Nathanael's little nose is so kissable, and I just love the whole package.
When Evangel turned 16, we promised her a purity ring, but we were very slow to accomplish that.  It finally arrived and she got it when she came home from the Great Commission Course, engraved with Mark 12:30--her choice.  Mark 12:30 says, "And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all they mind, and with all they strength:  this is the first commandment."

Baby Blue

Hi, I'm Nathanael.  Nathanael Nehemiah Young to be exact.  I just got  born.  It was a little rough, but
I think
 it was worth it. I live in Cape Town, South Africa with my family.  
 This is my big brother Daniel.  You can tell because he has the button that says, "I'm the big brother."  People say we look alike, but Daniel said, "Me, I'm white."  He thought I was a lot pinker  than he is.  Wonder why.
 Then there's my cousin Josh.  He likes me.  I can tell cuz he's wearing a fan shirt.  You can see them all over the place.  It means I Love Nathanael Young.  I guess someone had these made up for me.  Bumper stickers too.  It's a nice welcome to the world.
 My big sister Connie wasn't terribly excited to meet me for minute there, but she loves me now that she knows I come with lots of accessories.
 My Uncle Paul was turning my face away so I wouldn't want to ride his "horsie" like Connie.
 Another reason Connie likes me is because I get lots of visitors.  Connie loves visitors.  Uncle Paul is Connie's favorite Uncle.  He's the only uncle she's met yet.
 My cousin Evangel  was away taking a course when I was born, but she made a special trip home to meet me on Sunday afternoon.  She adores me.  You can tell by her face.  I think she's pretty nice.
Then there's my Dad.  He adores me too.  He likes me enough to dress up in stripes so I'm not the only one wearing stripes, but his stripes don't do that snap between the legs thing like mine do.  
Hey, where's my Mom?  this is just my aunt, Minky.  She's  got a few problems, like losing her camera the week I was born, and then losing a whole button on her computer so she couldn't blog about me.  The latest is she didn't get a good picture of my Mom!  Can you believe?  but she says you can see pictures of Mom and me at Aunt Joy's blog www.arielasjoy.blogspot.com

Help!

Someone has stolen my "browse" button so I can't upload any photos! 

Earlier this week we had an intruder.  A guy came over the wall and was scanning the inside of our downstair neighbor's white truck/bakkie.  I have to feel for the guy.  There he was, peacefully contemplating the simple job of stealing a battery, when he hears a big, deep voice from above.

"What are you doing?" from my 6'10" husband would make anyone pause any time of the day, but at 4 AM when you're in the midst of a robbery, that guy must have been about to go into cardiac arrest!

"I'm sorry," he said.

"What are you doing?" Paul demanded again, and I forgot to mention, he was out on our second floor balcony, so he was WAY above this guy.  Maybe he the Lord was calling him to give account.

"I'm very sorry," he said this time.  Then (this part makes me laugh!) he shut the hood/bonnet of the car, and disappeared back over the wall he had climbed over to get in. 

So that was sort of normal for our neighborhood, but who took my browse button?  I can't put pictures on any more? 

I hope some of my blogspot buddies come through with some advice, because I'm stuck!
