My Crazy Brother!

So any of you who know my brother Nathan won't be too surprised by his new creation in our front yard. He has managed to build this life size igloo. He was so disappointed that it was so warm over the weekend because he really wants this thing to last and turn to straight ice. I keep reminding him that it won't last, but he keeps nursing it like he expects it to. He's so funny! The first picture is one that I took at 11:30 p.m. one night. He wouldn't come in till he shoveled all the snow on our lawn onto this igloo. He's glad that it snowed today so that he can finish it with fresh wet snow and start the process of icing it up.

He also just finished working for Coke and started working for the school district. He's really enjoyed working for Coke and had a lot of fun driving a Coke van. Especially since his lifelong love has been Coke. But the School District will be better hours and a promotion from his last job. We are glad to have him back on weekends to help with projects in Fountain Green. We've missed him being able to come with us since he's been at Coke. He's a good project guy - but usually only if it's his idea first! The trick is to convince him that the project that needs to be done was his idea and you've got a project manager.

Nathan, you are crazy, but we sure love you. The kids thought your igloo was awesome. I am glad that you got some more snow, so that all your hard work wouldn't have been melted away. Well not yet anyway. I am glad that you will be able to go to F.G. Now Mark won't be so out numbered.

Colby has been begging for days to go see you igloo up close. He is very impressed. And no, I'm not surprised that you guys have an enormous igloo in your front yard.

Yeah, he is a pretty funny guy! And he has always had the entrepreneurial personality. Tell him, the FG house needs an igloo too.
