so thankful

we are so thankful for our newfound friend, jamie, who is taking care of noah for us while I'm finishing up school this semester. noah absolutely loves her... as evidenced by all the hugs he gives her when she arrives for the day and leaves in the evening. as a mom, it is so wonderful and comforting to watch your child really open up to those who take care of him!

i love to take photos of noah... but, i'll be honest, i've not been diligent lately in doing so. What a blessing it is that jamie LOVES photography - so, she's been so kind to capture moments of our little guy in action throughout the day.

the snow in vail

We had an absolutely wonderful trip to Vail, Colorado. John and I enjoyed visiting with friends (~20 of us in a spacious house)... the skiing was incredible... and Noah certainly enjoyed playing with the snow. However, Baron (Courtney and Luke's golden retriever), won the prize for keeping our little guy entertained! Noah chased Baron around the house, and then Baron would chase Noah... lick him from head to toe... and, yes, Noah would even hop on top of Baron and bounce up and down as if riding a horse! Here are some photos from the trip.

okay mom...

"I'm ready to go snow-skiing!"
