Social Networking...

So, I joined Twitter. I would like to say that another social networking site is the LAST thing I need, Facebook keeps me busy enough! But, I've seen a few people join when they're going on vacation, honeymoon, etc. to keep friends and family in the loop. That is my only intention for joining. So...here's to keeping you in the loop of our California vacation!

Christmas in July?!

...okay, okay, so it's June & it's not really Christmas either. But, if people can celebrate Christmas in July, then why not Halloween in June?

I had to take a small break from packing (we leave tomorrow for sunny & HUMIDITY-FREE California) to upload these pictures to the blog. Nolan found his Halloween costume from this year, and insisted on putting it on, so we did. Once it was on he started saying, "Ooo Aaaa Aaaa, I monkey." Then to take it another step further, he decided he just absolutely needed a banana. Unfortunately, we've not been to the store since we're leaving on vacation, so we're fresh out. He ended up getting his fake one from his food bin and was just as happy.

Alright, time to get back to packing and put an end to all this monkey busniess!

It is a little small, which is a great thing & he is getting a haircut this afternoon :)

Summer Slacking

OK, so I know I've really been slacking on blogging lately...but I guess that's what summertime does! I actually thought I'd do more of it since I am home with him and not working, but it's been the complete opposite. Brian has had class for his Master's for the past two weeks (one more to go), and Nolan & I have been quite busy playing! We are really enjoying being home together, it makes me appreciate my job that much more!

We are very excited that we leave for California ONE WEEK from today! Not only am I extremely excited to see my cousin, Stacey, but Nolan is also! Our whole family cannot wait to get out to SoCal. Nolan did a great job on the plane last year when we went to Florida, so I am hoping and praying that he'll do just as well this year.

Here is a picture from Nolan today. He had a little poolside mishap! He fell off a lounge chair and luckily only scraped his face on the concrete. As I rushed to pick him up I had that awful feeling in my stomach that there was going to be a lot of blood and possibly a loose tooth or two. Thankfully, it was much less minor. Although, by the sound of his cries and the loud thud, you definitely would of thought otherwise. After some cuddle time and a popsicle he was ready to go! Ahh...the joys of summer.

Our Day Downtown

We spent the whole day in Downtown St. Louis yesterday with Nolan. We started with meeting the Bowman's for lunch. Then we went to Kiener Plaza, the Arch, & the Cardinals game! It was a very long and tiring day...but so much fun. Nolan really enjoyed himself, and we were glad we did it. The wait in the Arch was quite long, and we were wondering several times if it was even worth it...thinking probably not. However, Nolan really surprised us - he absolutely LOVED being up in the Arch and pointed out so many things while we were up there. When we were finally leaving St. Louis at 10:30 last night as we drove past the arch, moments before he fell into a dreamy sleep, he said, "Goodbye Arch". It was so cute! Then, the icing on the cake...on his own out of nowhere, he said, "Thank you, Mommy!" Isn't parenthood the best?

My Birthday

"Of all the rights of women, the greatest is to be a mother." - Lin Yutang

The best thing about this birthday is that I get to be a mother and a wife to two amazing people that make my birthday and everyday a whole lot better.
