Lately

August 28, 2009

One is of Noah asleep, just tuckered out

There are pics of Noah and Eva, Noah was just smiling, we think that he really likes her.

Mimi spoiling Noah with his new jungle mat, he loves tummy time, and all the annoying songs.

More swimming, he is getting the hang of it.

Noah and Kenzie

August 25, 2009

We have spent alot of time catching up with friends. We went for dinner to visit Ryan and Stephanie. Ryan and Drew were college roommates and Steph graduated from highschool with us, but we really got to know her in college when she and Ryan started dating. They are really neat and we enjoy spending time with them. We were able to help them welcome McKenzie into the world almost 3 years ago and they are finally meeting our little one. Well bigger one. He is growing so fast. Nevertheless McKenzie thought Noah was just the right size to play mommy and baby. It was so cute when she kept telling Steph and I that Noah wanted to sit in her lap, and she would kiss his head, and cover him up.

Ride South

August 24, 2009

We have been looking for Drew a bike so he can start exercising and will have transportation at seminary. Since we will be buying only one vehicle this will be a big a important buy. He has looked at several places and he has really been shopping around. Today we went to RideSouth smaller store, but they are very informed from what I can tell. They let him test out a bike and we will be back I am sure.

Little Swimmer

August 23, 2009

We took Noah swimming today for the first time. He really liked it for the few minutes he was in the pool. It was a little windy which made it cool if you were out of the water. He even went under the water with some help from mommy. I just know he will like the water when he gets older, he was just kicking around.

Sunny Day

August 21, 2009

It has been so hot here and sunny, and humid but we did get outside today to take a few pictures.

Staying Awake

August 20, 2009






We went to visit Grandpa and Jerri. Noah did not stay awake very long, it was so late for him. They did get a couple of smiles out of him. Jerri fixed my favorite meal (squash, spinach, onions, and cheese).

Great Grandma

August 20, 2009





Noah met his Great Grandma Betty. This is her 13th great grandchild. She also has 14 grandchildren. And 8 children. It was neat seeing how easily she handled Noah, all that experience.

Bumbo

August 19, 2009






Noah got a Bumbo, it is a seat that lets him start to learn how to sit on his own. It really helps but he has not the whole holding his head up thing, quite yet. This by the way was 4 a.m. in the morning. When Noah decided to wake up and not go back to sleep. He is going to sleep at about 5 p.m. everynight and up at around 4 a.m. Then he will go back to sleep for a little while later in the morning. Madison our dog decided to lick Noah right on the kisser. It was so funny.

Uncle Pat Pat

August 18, 2009

We will be spending the next few days catching up with all the family that has not met Noah yet. Today we went and got new phones and went to Patricks' soccer game after a much needed nap by all of us.

Our Arrival (USA)

August 17, 2009

It is weird to think that this is Noah's first time in the states. A place we grew up in and now get to share with him.

Noah got to meet Babu (my dad), and Mimi (drew's mom) and Aunt Ali for the first time. I just know this will be a fun memory for him to look back on one day.

Big plane delays

August 17, 2009



Drew distracting (playing) with Noah.



This is how he slept most of the plane ride



Our flight was delayed two hours leaving and so that meant that once we got to London we would not have time to go to the hotel we booked. I really just wanted a shower, and to wash my hair but I ended up sticking my head in the sink and drying it with the hand dryer in the bathroom. I locked us in the baby changing room......... I am def, not to proud..... The first 8 hour flight was not bad at all and Noah slept almost the whole thing, it really flew by. It was his regular night time sleeping time. The second 10 hour flight was not worse but he was just cranky and it took more to get him to go to sleep. The plane had a hum and so that kinda muffled his cries. At that point I did not care about what other people thought on the plane. And then the 3rd flight which was bout 1 1/2 hours was a piece of cake.

I do have to say that the little extension seat belt they give you on the plane is a joke. I did not understand how our carrier was not a better idea. But it is POLICY. But the policy is obviously different on every plane, even within the same airline. All the flight attendants had different expectations of how I should hold him and seat belt him in.
