Happy, Happy Birthday To My Noelley-Belly

December 30, 2005 2:28am.....she came into the world and I became known as,"Mommy." I can hardly believe three years have gone by since that moment.

Noelle is such an amazing little girl. We all love her so very much. She has energy that goes on for days, is smart as a whip, and absolutely enjoys life to it's fullest. She runs, jumps, plays, screams and gets into all kinds of trouble. She has so many songs memorized and loves to sing them all day long. My personal favorite is "Dangerous" by Akon, she gets that from her Father.

Noelle has had the perfect little girl birthday. She got to eat M&M's & Cheetos for breakfast (thanks Aunt Amy!), and Auntie came over to bring her presents and a Mickey Mouse balloon. We then took a yummy lunch of Baked Ziti, Salad, Bread, Grapes and Cupcakes to the park to play and eat with her friends. After the park, we came home and she got to play with Jake and Norah some more. Everyone was so thoughtful and gave her such wonderful gifts. Clothes, coloring books, movies, and Strawberry Shortcake galore. She's already had so much fun playing with everything.

We had plans to go out with Daddy tonight but we were just all too tired. Noelle ate leftovers with Daddy and is already asleep. She went to bed with a dirty face and so many happy memories. What more could a little girl ask for?

I love you, sweet baby girl. Thank you for picking me!

No pictures......still having technical difficulties. Hopefully, we can fix it tomorrow.

Merry Christmas!

To all of those we know and love!

Each and every single one of you bless our lives so much and we are so grateful. May we all remember His example as we celebrate the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ.

We can't wait to see what 2009 has in store for our family.

Sick House

Don't come near our house unless you are wearing some kind of protective gear!

Noelle has had the stomach flu. Madeleine has an infection in both eyes. Yesterday I woke up feeling like I had been run over by a semi...I only got out of bed to use the bathroom. Aaron woke up this morning feeling bad, but I am thinking maybe he wanted to stay home from church.

Hopefully, tomorrow we will all be healthy and we can celebrate the holidays!

What We've Been Up To...

I've been having technical issues and can't upload most pictures.

Things have been going really well. Madeleine is the best baby anyone could ask for. She's nursing great and growing like a weed.....gained 1o ozs and grew 3/4 inch in a week. Really only cries when she is hungry and is just plain perfect.

Noelle is still totally in loooooooooooove and is such a good big sister/helper. Daddy has found a new love of his life, too.

We've just been loving these days home spending time together as a new family of four. It was rough for me the first few days, I was scared but things have just been so smooth. Let's hope things don't blow up for us now that I've gone public!
