new pictures

ok- here are some pics that we ave taken over the last month or so. the water ones are from a water park here that noah loves..... he can't get enough of the waterslide. other ones are from a visit from the jones family and their kiddos melia and liam and then just some from around the house- and of course noah and the tent that daddy got for him. this lovely blue piece of "furniture" had graced our kitchen for about a week until i couldn't handle it anymore. now it is down in the family room and if we are down there we are definitely hanging out in it. hope you enjoy them. we'll talk later. i'm thankful for:
- MOPS meeting today- spa day!

-noah's great afternoon nap so i could get some stuff done

-it's tuesday so daddy gets home early

monkey bizness, monkey towels and mohawks

well, here i am not keeping up with the blogging. so we have done a lot and i have lots of pics to post. that's what the next entry will be- no writing to read- just some pics to tell you what we have been up to. we have had lots of visitors over the last few weeks. some friends of aaron's stopped for the night on their way to california- they drove from nc all the way to ca- no thank you! good thing their kiddos are so sweet, and we are glad to say they made it safe and sound. then g&g k. came and stayed for the weekend. so great to see them- and noah really enjoyed having someone with lots of energy to play with him all weekend. we did some re-arranging which seems to have satisfied my "need for a bigger house" for the time being. trying to figure out how to fit another person in this house has been challenging- but i know it can be done. really what we need is simply less stuff. then this past weekend grandpa h. came and stayed for the weekend. we went to open gym on friday afternoon with nana and our friends krysta and rylan, then we had reagan's birthday party at monkey bizness. what a busy friday for us. the rest of the weekend was spent relaxing, grandpa reading books to little man and just hanging out. some of you live in snowier areas- i understand- but the 4+ inches that fell last night was less than welcome- that's for sure. i am so ready to get outside- and ready for the pool to open up. i don't think i ever really minded winter until noah came- and i can only imagine the fun next winter will bring trying to gather up 2 kiddos to take out. we'll wait and worry about that one later. anyway.... i think that's all the updating i have for now. i am excited to say that noah is eating better- turns out that everyone was right- when you feed less and less baby food one gets hungry enough to eat what his parents are eating (within reason of course...) have a great sunday- and i'll post those pics here soon. almost forgot-

i am thankful for:
-noah finally eating real food

-a reassuring appt at the dr and a strong heartbeat of 165

-finally not feeling as tired
