Lots going on!! - Picture Heavy! :-)

Hey everyone!!

We've had a LOT of stuff going on the past few weeks. Before our trip, we got a whole new living room set delivered, then we had our trip to the Dominican Republic and while we were gone, our contractor started working our our deck extention!! Not to mention Noah is officially walking now, so it's busy busy busy!

The trip was awesome... the place where we stayed left some things to be desired but the beach was beautiful, the water was crystal clear and the company was perfect!! It was a nice relaxing break from parenthood. I missed Noah like crazy on the flight down (I think in anticipation of missing him so much) but once we were there, I truely enjoyed myself. We talked to my parents twice a day and from what my parents said, Noah just beamed when he heard our voices, so that made me feel awesome. We got home late Tuesday night and it was like Christmas Eve... I was so excited to see him on Wednesday morning. Here are some shots from the trip....

This was waiting for us on our bed when we got home Tuesday night - my parents are the best! :-)


Since this is 'Noah's Adventures' and my parents take lots of pictures... here are some pictures from what he was doing while we were gone. Notice all the pictures of him looking sad and forlorn missing his parents!! :-)








Waking Noah up on Wednesday morning... he was much more interested in Daddy!! :-)

Noah is doing pretty well with walking. I still wouldn't let him toddle alone, but he can definitely go pretty far all by himself. It's crazy how quick he's getting it. It won't be long and he'll be running!!

Our deck is coming along great. Weather depending, we are supposed to have it stained this weekend and then they will screen it in and it should be done by the end of next week! It looks great and we are really going to enjoy having a screened in porch and a big extra open area, too!

Noah already got his first birthday presents from Grammy and Papa. They gave him a toddler swing, a fun water toy and a bell he picked out himself while they were here.

I can't believe he's is turning 1 on Wednesday. It's crazy that it's already been a year. So much has happened and I couldn't be happier!!!

Looks like the trip was awesome! And looks like Noah was well taken care of. =) Glad you had fun and made it back safely. Can't believe it has already been a year -congrats for making it. Eli's right behind Noah with the walking thing. He's all over these days.
