Family Update!

I had a little time this morning so I put a picture of Olivia on there. She was a month old when I took this one. I will try to find time for another update later as well. I have so many pictures I want to share with you all. Everything is going well for us now. We had a rough couple of months. Chris had been really sick with gall bladder disease and finally got it removed, but Noah got the chickenpox that same week. Besides that we now all have the nasty cold that is going around. We are on the mends though and are finally getting more sleep at night.
It seems that each time we get into a routine someone gets sick and messes it up! The kids were taking turns sleeping bad the last couple of weeks. We have a whole new idea of what it means to be tired!
Noah is growing really big now and is about to celebrate his 2nd birthday. Olivia just turned 3 months and is adorable. She loves to smile at her big brother. We are finally going to have her blessed this sunday so we will have many more pictures to post I am sure.
Well, that is all for now. As I said before I will try to get the pictures posted soon. We have halloween pics too.

We are almost there!

Just a little update on the family. It has been so long since I have posted something on here. I put pictures up of Noah yesterday, but even those are a few months old. He is just as cute as ever and starting to talk a lot. He still tries pointing and whining for things but I just tell him to use words and he says some gibberish. A lot of times now I can actually understand what he wants. He is very good at saying the words "I want" but whatever comes after that is still a little garbled.
We are at 35 weeks and counting with the baby. So, just a little bit longer and we will have little Olivia here. I have been trying to teach Noah how to say her name and he is doing pretty good. Usually it is just the vowels like eeaa or ooeeoo. It depends on the day.
Noah had an appointment with an orthopaedic doctor last week for his leg development. Although he is a little knock kneed and flat footed the x-ray shows that his bones are fine and the doctor thinks he will grow out of it. We shouldn't have reason to worry unless he still shows signs of it around age 4. He thought it might get worse before it gets better and probably shows more right now because of how fast he is growing. He is taller than most the kids in Nursery and even some of the Sunbeams. No surprise there! I expect all our children will be tall! Thank you everyone for your prayers for Noah last week. He did really well with the x-rays and the results were what we were hoping for.
Well that is all for now. I will try to keep posted about the baby as well. Take care, and we love you all!

Sorry So Long!

Here are some cute pictures of Noah being mischevious.

This is Noah's first time at the zoo! He loved the Cherry Icee!

And here he is digging in the mud where we had just planted strawberries. He had mud all over him.

Our Snow Storm! 02/12/2010

These pictures were taken when it had been snowing for about an hour. We did end up getting close to 7 inches at our house. Unfortunately by the end of the next day it was gone. Noah wasn't sure about it at first but then decided that he loved it. He did face plant a couple of times but his hat was bulky enough that he didn't get it on his face. We had fun throwing snowballs at daddy!

After Christmas Noah insisted on helping me put away the tub of decorations. It was so cute! As you can see he also likes reading books and sitting on the couch to watch TV. His favorite shows are Super Why, Wheel of Fortune and the Price is Right! I think he likes all the clapping involved in the game shows. He occasionally cheers for people when they win stuff too. It is adorable. He really enjoyed watching the Olympics with us and learned how to say GO! GO! GO! while waving his hands in the air. We had a few weeks of sickness but our happy boy is back, much to the relief of his mother!

Noah likes to chew on anything he can get in his mouth. I think it makes his teeth feel better. You can see what a happy boy he is though. All these pictures were taken in October.

The Rest of the Birthday Pics

Sorry for the delay, here are the rest of Noah's birthday. I have to load the most recent pictures so I can post them as well. Things have been crazy the last few months. Hope everyone is well!
