3 1/2 !!!

Noah is almost 3 1/2 and I have get to post some details and pictures from his 3rd Birthday Party. Again I blame morning sickness (although grateful for it) that lasted about 16-18 weeks not 12!! My sympathy and prayers to those of you are are sick fo 40 weeks!

Back in February I was about 3 weeks pregnant at Noah's 3rd birthday and thrilled but cautious about sharing the news. We choose Dr Suess as our theme and went all out with serving Green Eggs and Ham, Red Fish Blue Fish Punch, A Cat in the Hat Cake,(check out the pics of the cake to see the whole process) sandwiches and cheeses in the shape of feet (The Foot Book) Phillip filled the house with huge Balloons (A Great Day for Up). All of Noah's friends played so well together and got to take a Dr Suess book!

The following day it snowed (odd for Altanta that late in the winter or even at all for that matter) but made some great pics

3rd Trimester Already!

A special friend reminded me recently that I have not blogged anything about my pregnancy. As I contemplated why - my thoughts were the following : "This is Noah's Blog", or "I am still in shock/denial that we are having a baby in about 11 weeks!". But again I was reminded how the baby will feel years from know (when they are no longer a baby) reading all of this with no mention of him or her.

Really all can come come up with after further thought - is Noah your time up buddy and he is so excited to be a big brother and share his life and his blog too with "His Baby".

After wanting another child for awhile now I am so grateful and overwhelmed with how God has blessed us. I can not wait to meet our healthy baby. I am often asked do we want a boy or girl. Or decision to not find out the sex of the baby I believe is because we TRULY don't care. A happy healthy baby Harper is what we want and have believed God for and are thanking Him in advance for.

Hiton Head 2009

This year was our families 3rd Summer vacationing at the Hilton Head Beach and Tennis Resort (our home away from home).
Noah seems to have the time of his life while we are on vacation. Here a few highlights, surfing, ice cream and singing at his favorite local hot spots!

Has it been this long???

I am not going to even attempt to figure out how many months it has been since I blogged. My excuses....facebook, pregnancy and my own personal internet/technology strike.

I realize that just because I paused Noah keeps going going going!!!
