Cousin Weekend!

Kailey and Hannah were able to get to know each other well while we waited for Grandma Betty, Grandma Char, and Noah to return from garage sales (Ok, I went earlier while Grandma Betty watch my two kids!)  Hannah is doing so much better as long as people know how to approach her!

Hannah's Birthday and other things

So having been reminded (many times) that I have neglected to update the blog for far too long, here's a quick catchup post.  In the last several weeks Hannah celebrated her first birthday and took her first steps, Noah has continued to work on his numbers and letters, we've done a day trip to Lincoln to witness the marriage of Aunt Michelle and Uncle AJ (in which Noah was the non-ring-bearing ring bearer), along with lots of bike rides to parks, zoo trips, mulberry picking, gardening, etc.

Go Fish

Daddy taught Noah Go-Fish today. Since we are learning, we are playing open-handed friendly. He's catching on very fast, but takes the idea of friendly Go-Fish a little far. When he draws a new card and sees that I have a match he proudly exclaims, "Daddy, I picked a card that you have! Would you like it?" Maybe one of these days he will pick up his mother's competitive streak. Also I'd include a picture, but he was being a stink and running away as soon as he saw the camera.

Happy Birthday Noah

Happy 3rd Birthday Noah! We celebrated with a day off for Mommy, a trip to the Science Center and the Library, and Pizza for supper.

Daddy is discovering how many questions he can answer with "because you are 3."

Virginia- Spring 2016

Well... another Virginia trip behind us!  It had it's ups and downs including Dan getting sick, a LONG ride, and a relaxing boat ride... Here are the highlights:
