Around the Ark

Noah's going to be a big brother!

To say this is long over due is an understatement. With packing to move from the old house, moving into the new house and not feeling well, this kept getting pushed to the back burner. We wanted to finally add a few pictures. We feel so blessed that God has choosen to add to our family. Noah got to help announce to the Grandparents by giving them a pumpkin with the message "Another little pumpkin is on the way, expected to arrive this coming May!"

Noah's moving!!

We were waiting until it was more offical and are very excited that in a few weeks

we will be moving across town. We have a buyer for our house and we are scheduled

to close on both houses on August 12. We will close on our current house and then

immediately after close on the new house. Anyone who is dying to move furniture

and haul boxes let us know. :)

July 10, 11 and 12 my side of the family got together for our annual camping trip at

Farm Island by Pierre. We met my parents, my two brothers and their families there

for a very fun weekend. Of course the time went way too fast. Noah found camping

very relaxing and enjoyed napping under the shade of the trees. In the first picture

Noah's cousins Ella and Samuel had to come check in on him to see how he was doing.

Mmmm, yummy!

2009-07-18T00:00:00.005-05:00

Noah tried cereal for the first time while we were camping in Pierre this

past weekend. He seemed to really like it. So, when we got home we

went and finally bought him a high chair. So far he's been a really

good eater, but then again he is D.J.'s son. :)

You would think with the summer off I would be better at updating this blog

but I am soaking up every moment I have to spend with my precious little boy.

It's hard to believe he is 6 1/2 months old already. These pictures were taken

when he turned six months.

Chatting with Mommy!

Noah and Mommy sharing stories!

Going for a walk.

2009-06-10T17:06:00.003-05:00

Last month Noah, Daddy and Mommy headed out for a walk to the video store.

Noah rode in the snugli Uncle Jory and Aunt Carey are letting him borrow.

Noah found the walk so relaxing he fell asleep.

Our little boy is growing big!

2009-06-10T16:54:00.004-05:00

Well, so I lied. I said I wouldn't wait so long to put more pictures of Noah on here and already it's been over a month. I promise I will add others soon. I wanted to add Noah's 5 month picture before the month is gone. I can't believe our little boy is already 5 months old.

2009-05-05T21:07:00.002-05:00

Well I created a few posts and saved them so that I could add them in order so that you could scroll from oldest to newest pictures but for some reason it posted them in the saved order rather than the posted order. Oh well! If you wish to see what I wrote first and pictures from oldest to newest scroll down and work your way up. At least I finally added the pictures right? I'll try not to let so much time pass next time. :)

Finally updating!

2009-05-05T19:32:00.005-05:00

I know, I know I can't believe it either. I am embarrassed that it has been two months since either myself or DJ have gotten on here and added pictures of Noah. He is growing and changing so fast. He truly is a blessing in our lives.

I know some off you have not had a chance to meet Noah in person yet and only get to see him grow through this blog. Since it has been so long since we have added any pictures we are going to forego all the captions and just let you see how our precious boy has changed in the last two months.

My very special Aunt Janice hosted a beautiful baby shower for Noah and I on

Saturday. She went all out and it really was beautiful. There was a full

spread of food and punch, complete with cupcakes that even said Noah.

The decorations were adorable. There was even a diaper "cake" center piece.

It was so much fun celebrating Noah with my family and friends. Thank you

just doesn't seem to say enough for how appreciative I am for all my Aunt Janice

did. Truly, thank you Janice. I love you lots!

Noah is two months old!

2009-03-04T17:42:00.005-06:00

Two months ago yesterday at 6:06 p.m. our lives were forever changed. I can

hardly believe that our precious little baby boy is already two months old.

Where does the time go?

Noah met his cousin Jacey for the first time this weekend.
She just loved him and was cute with him.

After the shower Aunt Sandy, who is an awesome photographer, took some adorable pictures of Noah. They are so precious!

2009-03-02T19:03:00.005-06:00

Wow it's been way too long since I have posted anything. I think between catching up on sleep when I can and adjusting to being back to work this got left out. So now it's time to do a little updating...

This weekend my Aunt Janice put on a beautiful baby shower for Noah and I. Noah got to meet family he hadn't met yet. He met his Great Grandma Harms, Great Aunt Marlys, Uncle Jason, Aunt Sandy and cousins Jacey and Jadyn.

My Aunt Janice did an amazing job on the shower. I loved every minute of it. I promise to get pictures on here as soon as I get them off my camera.

Visit from Grandpa Ron D. and Grandma Janet

2009-02-03T19:49:00.006-06:00

Grandpa Ron and Grandma Janet came for a visit this past weekend.

They came Friday after work but had to leave Saturday.

Mommy and Grandma Janet made a quick run to Target

while Grandpa Ron babysat Noah for the very first time.Grandpa and Grandma brought Noah's Valentine's gift with them

since they may not see him again before that. We just had to take a pictue.

Isn't this just too cute?!

Happy 1 month Noah!

2009-02-03T19:26:00.005-06:00

Where does the time go? Noah is already one month old today.

Happy one month to our precious baby boy.

Here he is just a couple hours after he was born...

And here he is today sleeping peacefully after keeping
Mommy and Daddy up for most of the night.

Looked like he was waving at me (snapped with cell phone)

Almost smiling!

"Who is that goofy guy with the camera?!"

"Where's my IHOP pancakes?"

So peaceful!

Noah's first trip to IHOP

2009-01-26T20:48:00.007-06:00

Saturday we went to IHOP for lunch with Grandpa Ron and Grandma Judy to celebrate my birthday and D.J.'s birthday.

Got the glitch figured out. Our computer restarts explorer whenever a window is closed but I found a way to get around that.

2009-01-21T22:25:00.000-06:00

I am having trouble with our computer wanting to shut down whenever I add a picture and try to publish the post. I will try to get it figured out so everyone can see the pictures I am adding.

2009-01-21T22:08:00.001-06:00

I promise to get some more pictures of Noah on here soon. I've been spending my "free" time resting. I had to put this picture on that Grandma Judy took of Daddy and Noah today. Isn't it precious? I think Daddy thinks Noah is a keeper. I love both my boys!
