Noah Belongs to God!!

We had a very special day today... We dedicated Noah to God! It was a small ceremony at church and it was great! We only took a couple of pictures. I put them in a smilebox with a few other pictures from the last few weeks. Enjoy!!

The Father of Aerobics!

It's been a while since I've updated our BLOG, but we've been busy (no surprise there). Last weekend we went to Spartanburg to visit Billy's family. One particular reason we went was to be there for a ceremony at the school where Billy's sister, Laura, teaches. She has recently had a huge accomplishment and we're very proud of her! She is a phys ed teacher for an elementary school and she wrote a grant to receive new gym equipment for the students. So the grant was funded and they got the new equipment, which is really cool. But another awesome thing is that Dr. Kenneth Cooper, the "father of aerobics", flew out from Dallas to the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new equipment. Dr. Cooper is an amazing man and you can check out some of his info here http://www.cooperaerobics.com/default.aspx and here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenneth_H._Cooper. He's actually President Bush's personal physician!! Laura got to spend the day with him and she said it was great. Billy got to go to a luncheon and spend some time with Dr. Cooper also. I met him briefly and he seemed very intelligent and was very friendly too. The whole ceremony turned out really well! Here's a picture of Laura, her husband David, and Dr. Cooper and another picture of Billy and Dr. Cooper.

The rest of the trip was a lot of fun, too. We got to hang out with Marley and Chloe, Noah's cousins. We saw Marley play soccer on Saturday morning and they won!!! Here's a pic with Noah and his Gammy at the game.

A Day at the Beach

We finally took Noah to the beach. It's terrible that we live about 30 minutes away from the beach and we still hadn't taken him to experience the wind and the waves. This last week brought some cooler weather our way, so when we woke up this morning and the sun was shining, we decided we better take advantage of the beautiful day. Overall, it was fun. Noah was pretty hesitant with everything, but he sure did enjoy eating the sand.




Then we came home and got a nice, refreshing bath!



After we got cleaned up we decided to go out for pizza. Noah had such a long day and he was a trooper, but he was worn out by the time we finally got home.


He even stayed asleep while I changed him into his pajamas. Maybe he'll sleep in tomorrow morning! :)

Will it ever slow down?

Things have been a little hectic lately, but they seem to be settling down. As I mentioned very briefly, I was recently promoted. I am now a supervisor. No matter what field you're in, a supervisor usually tends to have more responsibility because they "supervise" a group of people, and it's no different in my case. I have more responsibility and I have a team of people that I supervise. Unfortunately, on the job training is the ONLY kind of training available for this new position, hence the hectic days. The upside is that the days go by very quickly. I've only begun this new position, and you might hear a lot more about it as time passes, but then again, you might not. Even though this job isn't half-bad, I'd much rather talk about Noah!

So onto my boys... Noah and Billy are both sick. They both have colds. No fun. Noah has been waking up with a snot-crusted nose and I feel so bad for him. The poor little guy. But that seems to be the worst of it, so hopefully they can kick it without it getting too bad (and without me catching it). Noah's eyes have been puffy and he's had a runny nose this week, but here are some pics from a few weeks ago to remind you how cute he is!
