It takes a village....





I have really learned what a blessing a village can be when raising a child. We are truly blessed with the greatest village of all, our family and friends. They have helped us through the tougher, sleepless, times and have helped us celebrate the joyus times! This is a big "Thank You!" to all of them for their time, comfort and support, we couldn't have done all this without you and look forward to many more joyous times and fewer sleepless ones! =)


Noah also had his first outing to the NC State Fair! He loved it so much, seeing all the animals, lights, sounds, and of course his first ride on the carousel! I don't know who was more excited, mommy or Noah. The carousel is mommy's most favorite ride! He didn't take his normal morning nap, but he just couldn't close his eyes for fear of missing a single moment! We went early so it was pretty chilly, but we bundled Noah as only first time parents do, more thoroughly than probably necessary! We sat him on a haystack to get some photos and realized he had never felt hay before, so he stayed focused on that hay despite our many, many efforts to get him to look at the camera! Noah finally crashed while we were walking back to the car, a very happy boy who thoroughly enjoyed his first trip to the fair.


We hope you are all doing well and have a life full of blessings!

Looking back...


I still can't believe it was almost 10 months ago that Noah came into our lives! Now he is already eating "real" food like chicken, carrots, wheat bread and of course his all time favorite, Cheerios! Bob & I are getting ready for our very first outing without Noah, and we mean a whole weekend out of town without him! It's going to be hard, we will definitely miss him, but it is also a needed weekend to ourselves. It should be fun, it's for a wedding on the shore of New Jersey.


Noah's also found a new fascination with balloons! He got one at the store the other day from a nice man and then we had to get him another one today from the dollar store. He loves looking at it wiggle around and he loves hitting it! Well, he loves hitting anything, he's such a boy!

Anyways, thanks for stopping by and I'll try and be better about posting something more often!

Our love to you all....
