More standing (with some help)

 

Another day at the beach!

Nate and I took Noah to the beach this past Saturday! It was so sunny that we decided to try out the sunglasses that Grammy bought for him! This monster truck was at the beach so we decided to take a picture
Then we saw this sports car (Nate will have to give all the details-all I can tell you is that it was red and everyone was taking pictures of it) :-) 

Yes, Noah is standing!

With the help of our couch Noah was able to balance himself standing just long enough for me to get this picture. He is not smiling, but we can't have everything!
This was Noah slowly falling over :-)
I just thought that this one was cute 

Dressed to impress

This picture does not due Noah justice. We had him dressed in this cute vest with a collared shirt and khaki pants and he looked so handsome! 

All Decked Out!

Well, it is finally cold enough in VA to put Noah in his jean jacket and hat that his aunt and uncle got him while in NH. Doesn't he look cute?? :-) This one is my favorite!
 

My parents

Noah and Jo sitting together. Though they look to be about the same age Jo is actually 8 months old! They are the same height but Noah is one pound bigger!

More pictures from Keene

George did a great job putting Noah to sleep while we visited some of his co-workers at Target.

Maddie and Chris brought their little girl Josephine from Mass so that she could meet her second cousin.

Trip to Keene

This is Nate's Uncle George, his mom and you all know Noah. :-)



Counsin Gina did a great job feeding Noah when we got to Keene.




















Our outing today was to see some of Nate's family in Keene. We had a great time visiting with everyone and then went out for some Chinese food. We had a great time!

While the wife is away...

I thought I'd post some pictures from my latest adventure. What am I doing cruzin around in an '07 Mustang? The Lord is good! A buddy of mine was heading up to PA for a block course in his doctoral program. Seeing I was home bachin' it, I was at Starbucks this past Saturday afternoon reading up on Barth when he called me. It just so happened that he was picking up a rental care for the trip from VA to PA (and a sweet choice it was as you can see below), but he was in a fix. His card was being declined, his cell phone was about to die and he just called home and apparently his wife was sleeping. He asked if I could come bail him out with a credit card or a ride. While I admit, somewhere deep down inside, I wanted to keep sipping my java and enjoying my book, I know he would have done the same for me, and I know it's would honor the Lord. So I packed up and headed for the airport for the second time in 24 hours (after dropping off my beloved bride just the night before). When I got there, we put the car on my card (and he reimbursed me with cash) and headed out to the lot. However, being that the pony car was on my card, I was listed as the primary driver. He asked if I wanted to drive it back to his place and needless to say he didn't have to ask twice. He also didn't see my tailights again until he pulled into his driveway 20 minutes later! I couldn't end the afternoon without at least a few pics for proof which I've included below.
Yes, the dent was there when we picked it up...

If you're not convinced and simply think we staged the pictures in the driveway, let me know and I'd be happy to provide you with at least three intersections between Norfolk and Va Beach ladden with rubber as proof :-0 When the wife's away, the boys will play :-)

More Pictures of NH

Noah also went to visit my sister and her boyfriend Dave on Saturday.
It was great to get caught up with everyone!

Trip to NH

Well after a long night of traveling Noah and I made it to NH Saturday morning. We were supposed to arrive at 10:00 pm on Friday but due to some delays we did not arrive until a little after midnight on Friday. Noah did great while on both planes (even when we had to sit for 45 minutes on the runway). The first picture is of my sister-in-law Jennifer and her daughter Rachel; the second picture is of my brother Lester. Lester, Jenn, and Rachel came first thing on Saturday to see Noah. I think that Noah made friends very quickly with his Antie (she was the only one he did not spit up on) :-)

Pictures ANY New Englander would be proud of!
