4th Fireworks

July 4 2010

We drove back to Wilmington NC to see the fireworks. It was way crowded and really loud. Noah really liked them for the first 15 minutes. Then he started flirting with the girls that were standing behind us. He was so tired and ready to go to bed. He got in bed 2 hours late.

Happy 4th

It was a sunny 85 degree day, perfect for the beach. As you can see Noah conquered his fear for the sand. He was even eating it by the end of the day. He got mad when I poured water over his face and in his mouth trying to get it out. About 12 we headed in and ate some lunch and put Noah down for his almost 3 hour nap. This is not a normal thing, so I think he was worn out. Then mommy headed out for more sun while daddy read and watched Avatar. Perfect comprise.

Kure Beach

Happy 13th months to Noah. We arrived today and quickly took bags up to the condo, jumped in swim shorts and headed to the pool. Uncle Pat Pat was ready to get in and let me paddle around. It was freezing and Noah soon got out to warm in the sun. Then we headed down to the beach to see if Noah was over his sandphobia. When Drew set him down he just froze and would not walk anywhere. But as soon as they got to the soft sand Noah headed towards the waves. He walked right in and got a mouth full of water.

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.
