We have updated our family website so it does not redirect you back to this journal. If you would like to see the new look and fresh updates: CLICK HERE.

Play Time

This last week Noah has discovered the cause and effect theory. If I swing my arm I hear my rattle, if I kick my feet I can make a toy move, if I smile the world smiles with me.

Thought I would post a quick video of the action.

Six weeks and counting

Thanks to everyone who has emailed and phoned us with well wishes and love. We feel so blessed.

Every day seems to bring a new adventure around our house. This past week Noah has started to smile at us as we interact with him. Big brother Damian changed his first diaper and Sean has been a super trooper helping to entertain his little brother so mom can take a shower once and while. (I totally forgot how little you get done those first few months besides loving up on baby.)

Speaking of baby, I hear him waking up so I better keep this short for the time being.

God bless!

More three week photos

Here are a few more images of Noah at three weeks. I will be posting additional images later today from pictures we took this week. I can't believe how much he has changed in three short weeks.

Time flies

It is so hard to believe it has been three weeks since Noah was born. So much of our lives has changed and it has been a blessing.

Since it is Noah's three week birthday I wanted to post a current picture. We are hoping to add some additional images and updates this weekend.

Introducing Noah

We are so excited to have been blessed with another son. Noah has already stolen our hearts and our sleep. Someday we will get our sleep back, but from now on our hearts are once again gone forever.

Thank you for sharing in our joy. We have been very blessed by your visits, cards, emails anf phone calls. We love you all!

Newest addition

Noah James David was born on Thursday, Feburary 5th at 8:30 am. He weighed 7 lbs 9 oz and was 19 inches long.

Watch for a video in the next week. We will try to get it posted after we get home and get settled back in.

Thank you for all your well wishes, calls, and visit. It has made this time such a blessing to all of us.

Say what....!?!

This is so typical of a day in the life of our family. The shirts say it all.

Crash

The other day when we took the boys out skiing Damian had mentioned that he took a spill going down one of the ski hills. At the time I didn't think anything of it until he told me that a photographer who was out on the slopes had captured the whole event. So, we waited and the next day they were posted on her site. Let's just say when I saw the actual crash I didn't know if I should laugh or cry. It was a good thing I had 24 hours to process the spill before I saw it was really a pretty good crash.

The ironic thing is not more than five minutes before Damian had come in the lodge to tell me he took a tumble and to give me his glasses for safe keeping, another guy had walked in all bandaged up having broke his collar bone going down the same hill.

Here's the evidence we really do have angels watching over us.

First day of skiing

Yesterday was the first time the boys have ever tried out skiing. It was a blast to watch them as they learned a few moves and started up the lift for the first time. They had some great friends who were out there skiing also encouraging them along the way. Thanks for taking the boys out on their first run Colin. They had a ball.
