Finally...Snow!!

We are so excited that it has finally snowed! I bundled Noah up and took him out in his stoller to hang out while we shoveled the walks...Clair had another idea and it was pretty hilarious! Noah's first sledding experience was a success. Clair is loving every minute with his little buddy now that he can interact and let us know what he likes and dislikes. It's so much fun watching them together. Noah loves his Daddy so much!

My favorite boys! Aren't they cute!

Dad's sure can be creative!

I think he likes it!

Noah cried when i took him inside...he is such a trooper and

loves being outside with his Daddy!

Noah is 8 months old!!

Wow, my little man turned 8 months old yesterday! I can't believe it. The last 8 months has literally flown by. I am so lucky to have such a happy, sweet, adorable baby. I love this little boy more than words can express and i'm so grateful and honored to be his Mom.
Here are a few of his latest accomplishments:
-He is 21 pounds
-He has 2 teeth
-He made the Guiness Book of World Records for cutest, biggest cheeks (just teasing)!
-He can Army crawl with the best of them(he is sooo close to crawling)
-He has learned to stand up in his crib (picture shown)
-He loves Lofthouse Sugar Cookies (he likes the texture more than the taste)
-His new favorite toys are electrical cords for lamps, tv's etc.
-He waves bye-bye (rarely on demand!)
-He keeps me laughing all day long!

Thanks Dalton for letting Noah wear your cowboy hat!

He is into, under and around everything!

His new trick...standing in his crib! Yikes, i'm not ready for this.

The sweetest little boy I ever could have asked for.

I love you Noah!

Grandma Dot

My sweet Grandma passed away on December 1. She was 85 years old. She has been sick for a long time so it is very much a bitter-sweet passing. I'm so grateful that she is free from the pains she has lived with for so long. I'm also very grateful to know that she is once again with my Grandpa who passed away 15 years ago, but losing someone you love is always hard. My Grandma was a wonderful woman who always set a perfect example of love, charity, compassion and selflessness to all who knew her. I'm going to miss her very much but I am so grateful that I will be with her again one day. It seems that in times of our loved ones passing we reflect on our own lives and on those of our loved ones and we have the ability to become a little closer and show a little more love and gratitude for all that they do for us. I'm truly grateful for my own family and for all that they do for me.



Isn't she beautiful.


Her favorite color was pink.

I love you Grandma and will miss you dearly.
