Annual Ice Cream Day

My Mom and I took Hayley to the annual ice cream day at Longue Vue House and Gardens. She had a great time eating delicious ice cream and playing on the gorgeous grounds of Longue Vue. She also got her face painted and did some arts and crafts! Noah used the opportunity to take a nap! It was a very hot but fun day.

Getting Big

Well, my babies are quickly growing up - especially Hayley, I can't believe she's going to be 3 years old this month! And Noah is going to be 3 months! It's depressing- I wish they could stay small forever. Noah's personality is really starting to develop! He's all smiles now! Hayley has been such a good big sister- knock on wood!

Trip to Nashville, TN

Once again, I apologize for the amount of time in between posts. Things have been somewhat hectic! Anyway, we had an awesome trip to Tennessee- the drive was a bit stressful, but not bad! I really enjoyed seeing my friend Meghan and her husband, Bill. We also introduced each other to our children for the first time! They have two great kids- Vivian and Will. Viv and Hayley are only 5 months apart so they played well together. Will is almost 1 1/2 and precious! We had a lot of fun and Bill was awesome with the kids. I can only imagine how tired he was after our trip to the zoo and having to chase them around all day! I cant wait to see them again and already miss them bunches!

7 Weeks Old

Noah is now 7 weeks old. We are still having a rough time getting him comfortable. I have stopped breast feeding completely now and he is on his 3rd type of formula. The first formula he vomited the entire bottle, the second constipated him, so now we are on the third which seems to be doing okay but he is still very gassy and colicky. However, he is growing and gaining weight well, so the pediatrician is not concerned. She asked Hayley what she thinks about her little brother and her response was- he cries a lot! Hopefully he will get better soon, maybe as he gets older.

Mini Van

I am officially a soccer mom! We now have a new Nissan Quest mini van and I love it! I have not quite adjusted to driving something so large, so for now, I will be parking at the far end of parking lots! It's incredible how much more room we have and Hayley has a blast in it! We're taking it to Tennessee in a few weeks and the trip will be much more comfortable then it would be in our Corolla!

A day with D.D

We went to Mom's house last week on her day off. Hayley had fun cooling off in the baby pool while Noah and I relaxed in the hammock.

Memorial Day

We had a great time on Memorial Day. We went to Mama's house for a wonderful lunch. Mom made BBQ ribs and pork n' beans, Mama made a salad and lemon meringue pie, Victor made seafood stuffed mushrooms, and I drank daiquiris! After lunch, we went down to the pool where Mom took Hayley swimming. She had a great time until it started to thunder and she had to get out. Noah enjoyed being held the entire time because Mom can't stand it if he cries at all!
