Sorry! No Pictures!!!!

It has not been a good week to take pictures around here. Noah has been crabby with another cold and had his first fever this week. I just wanted to send an update from his 4 month check up. He is 241/4 inches and weighs 16lbs 12oz. Joel calls him Bubba.

It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas

It may look like Christmas in the neighborhood, but it sure doesn't feel like it! What beautiful weather we had this weekend! I know it's not going to last long, but it sure was nice to be able to be outside with all of the kids! Eli had so much fun with his cousins! Thanks for making the trip! As soon as everyone left this morning, Eli and I started putting up the Christmas tree. Then of course I had to wrap presents to put under it. One would think I would've been cleaning instead of making a bigger mess!

Busy Weekend

Noah's baptism

Here's the crew just before church

We had a big weekend with my whole family here for Thanksgiving and Noah's baptism on Saturday night. We'll just say that church was interesting. The people sitting several rows behind us thought it was quite funny that Eli and Zach were under the pews with their cars!

Game Night!!

I told Eli that we could play games after Noah went to bed tonight. When we were done with Old Maid and Go Fish, I made Eli choose between Yatzee and Sorry. He picked Sorry. It's a good thing Christmas is coming. I'm thinking we may need some childrens' games!

Never too early to start watching Baby Einstein

Of course right after I took this picture Eli said to Noah, "You're done watching Turtle. We're watching Lion King now!

Eli spent the morning using every kind of paint he could find. This is his fingerpaint project.

Noah and Daddy doing "so big"

We had a really fun weekend! Our friends Kelly and John and their three kids came down on Friday. The kids played together really well, and the adults even got to play games. Kelly and I enjoyed a couple of drinks together for the first time in 4 years since neither of us are pregnant.

We were sad when they left on Saturday!

Today, Eli and I enjoyed the great weather and spent a couple of hours playing outside. He even decided that we could take a walk. Of course he had to push his lawn mower and "fix" it every few minutes, so it took us a half hour to get around the block.
