Wilmington NC

We met Mimi, Uncle Pat, and Aunt Ali in Wilmington for lunch. There was a great farmers market there and the ferry boat was in the water ready for passengers. The battleship was across the river, and yachts were passing back and forth between. It definitely has a different feel that where we have been to the beach before. So relaxed and laid back. Just Drew's sytle. We ate at a really good place, The George. And visited a few shops.

Noah is getting ready to meet Mimi at the beach. We have been practicing learning how a fish swims.

Afternoon Friends

June 30 2010

Noah had an extended playdate. Titus and Kate came to play and Noah had a blast. He even let them ride in his car and wagon. It was fun having three little ones in the house and having juice time, and snack time, and laughs.

Happy Birthday Drew

June 28 2010

Happy Birthday happy birthday to you. We had our small group over on Sunday night and shared ice cream cake with them. Clay and Chris also had birthday's this week, and we were able to sing the birthday song to all of them.

So sorry there is only one pic, despite all my efforts to save my camera, the flash does not work. So it looks like we are in the market to purchase another, and make this one and outside only one.

Millbrook Pool

June 25 2010

So today turned out to be a little bit of a disaster. We headed toward the pool with the kids, but I had to stop for gas. I put my wallet on top of the vehicle and unknowingly drove away.

So we had a blast at the pool and I really let Noah just swim away. The water was only 18 inches deep at the highest point so he had fun wading around and then throwing himself forward and trying to move his arms around. Swallowing water the whole time. I am just clicking away taking pics and obviously got water in my camera. Drew would take it apart later and I would spend time with the insides and the blow dryer trying to recover what is left.

So we get back home in one piece and I am putting Noah down for his nap and we get a call. A lady has found my wallet that I did not even know was missing and wants to return it. I was just sick. She stopped and picked it up in the middle of the road, and then went down a little ways and found my checkbook also. The Lord's provision certainly is GREAT!!!!! The only thing that was missing was pics of my brother and family. Besides a bent license and cracked Sam's card everything is fine. Praise HIS name.

Ahh Apple Juice
June 22 2010

Today was the day. We went to the Dr. office and prepared our Apple Juice for Noah as soon as he was done. Gave him a dose of Tylenol beforehand. But to our surprise he did really well. He only cried a little while and then was fine.

Happy Dada Day!!!!

I love you Drew, and love that our Father had a plan for our lives together, I can not wait to spend the rest of our lives together, I love that you are such a beautiful father to our son, selfless and giving, not afraid to hug, kiss, and love our gift God has entrusted to us for a little while. I can not wait to have more children with you and watch you display how a father loves his children. Only by growing closer to our heavenly Father do I see you love our Family more. Thank you for being faithful in this.

Runner's Camp

June 15 2010

This is what Drew has been doing all week. It is kinda like VBS except the kids come and learn all sorts of track and field skills. Javlen, Discus, Hurdles, and RUNNING. We decided to visit Daddy and join in. Noah decided to run with the kids. He even got a scrapped knee, that is devotion. Drew had to reel the child in a few times, and of course Noah was all about Hydrating. He stole Drew's water bottle and had fun soaking his clothes.

Learnng how to peek a boo

Drew showed me that Noah has started mimicking now. Here's how:

Dinner out

June 12, 2010

We celebrated our anniversary today since Drew had to work on our actual anniversary. I let Drew sleep in this morning, Saturday morning is his only day to really sleep in. I was trying to keep Noah quiet as usual but he started following me around saying MAMA, mama, mama, ma, ma, ma. So, you guessed it, I let him talk and say it as loud and as many times as he wanted. He has also started saying VA, really loud. This is followed by him walking over and picking up a ball. Though he has not mastered the correct sound, we get the point, and especially the enthusiasm.

We went to our favorite Mexican place, (suggested to us before moving here by Dan and Allison, thanks guys) and had a nice dinner together. Noah was such a big boy as he sat in a booster for the first time and had his own plate, and threw rice everywhere. We will work on the table manners later.

Oh there is a pic of Noah's newest motor skill, sticking out his tongue. He cracked us up, sticking it out and saying AHHHHHH, Ahhhhhh, ahhhhhhh.
