Happy Birthday Sweetheart!

Today is my wonderful husband's birthday and I just want to let everyone know that I am so proud of him. He is a loving attentive husband and father and I am so blessed to be his partner in parenthood! Happy Birthday Nate!!!

Take me to the beach!

Standing by himself!

Yes, Noah can stand by himself; He will be walking soon!

The water!

Nate took Noah out in the water for a little swim

Take to water!

Noah was not afraid of the water!

More beach

His favorite toy

Having fun at the beach

We also got the beach shelter to help keep Noah out of the sun so that we could stay longer at the beach. He loved to kick his leg back and forth and hear the plastic make noise. Thanks Nana and Pa for the tent and life jacket :-)

Getting ready for the beach

The weather is going to be beautiful this weekend so we got ready to head off to the beach; we got Noah this life jacket yesterday so that he could go further in the water if it is warm enough. He does not seem to mind it :-)

Noah's favorite place to be

Noah loves the bathtub even if there is no water in it. When my back can't take any more bending over from walking him around I put him in the tub to play for awhile. He love it!

Come n' get me!!

When Noah wakes up from sleeping he usually entertains himself for about 10 minutes before we come and get him; lately this is how we have found him waiting for us:-)

Hi there!

Noah was so excited playing this morning that I had to take a picture. I think that he needs to go back to bed though since he has those big bags under his eyes!

Our Trip to OBX

We spent two days in the Outer Banx, NC at the Sanderling Hotel and Resort (courtesy of HSBC). While the place was pretty sweet, the service sucked and it rained the whole time. For the price HSBC paid, we should have gotten MUCH better customer service...but hey, beggars can't be choosers :-) The next few posts are pics from our trip.

The two above are from the upstairs of the lobby...

This was the view from the back porch, the front one overlooked the Sound. Not bad even if it did poor the whole time.

Us at the Beach in OBX

One of the best parts of having a 4x4 is being able to take it right out on the sand.

Notice the ubiquitous Pepsi bottle on the bathroom counter...
