I just love Chastain Park! It's one of my favorite parks here in Atlanta. Well, Natalie and I went running there this morning and I saw some awesome spots for picture taking. So Daniel, Noah, and I went back there tonight to take some fun pics. Noah didn't really cooperate too well for the camera but we got some pretty good shots anyway. The flowers were so pretty!
We went to Mississippi for Easter this year. Noah didn't quite get the concept of finding eggs. In fact, he wanted all of the eggs out of his basket. He took them out the minute we put them in his basket. He did have fun playing in the dirt, learning to play golf, swimming, and playing with the neighbors' dogs. Here are some pictures from our trip.
Here's Leila giving Noah a "hug". Looks more like a head lock to me.
Here's Noah with his Easter basket. This was a quick shot before he emptied all the eggs onto the ground.
Yesterday was Noah's birthday. It's hard to believe that my baby is now one. Where did the time go? It seems like just yesterday we were bringing him home from the hospital. This past year has definitely been a learning experience as parents. Daniel and I are so happy to have Noah in our lives. He is such a fun little boy! Here are some pictures from his party on Saturday.
Here is Noah eating his sugar free apple spice cupcake with sugar free cream cheese frosting. I know I'm a health nut when it comes to my kid, but I can't help it. Don't worry, he loved the cupcake and devoured every piece of it even though it was sugar free.
Happy birthday buddy! We love you!
Noah is learning how to walk. He's been taking steps for about a month or two now, and he's finally getting the hang of it. I think I'm in trouble!
We took this picture after Noah's bath this morning. I think I have the cutest little boy ever!
We spent Christmas in Mississippi this year. We had so much fun opening gifts with Noah on Christmas morning. He got lots of cool toys!
Noah and I made an unexpected trip to Mississippi last week. My grandfather passed away, which was a shock and sad but I have realized that it was just his time to go. In fact, he probably died at a good time. He didn't suffer, his mind was still intact, and he lived a good life. I got to see him a week before he passed away, and I am so grateful for that. I will miss him but I have found peace through my Savior and the plan of salvation.
Yesterday Daniel and I celebrated our two year anniversary. It's crazy how fast time flies. So much has happened in the past two years. We moved to a new apartment twice, I conquered my biggest fear (childbirth), we had a beautiful little boy, I quit my job to be a stay-at-home mom, Daniel graduated with honors, Daniel conquered his biggest fear (opening his own practice), we got a minivan, Daniel sold his car, we accumulated a lot more stuff (mostly toys and baby stuff), we've made many new friends, and the list could go on. I think the best thing about these last two years is that Daniel and I have grown closer as we've had to experience new and challenging things. I think we're a great pair! I can't imagine spending eternity with anyone else. I love you sweetheart, and I can't wait to see what the future holds for us!
We went over to our friends, Seth and Sara's, house for Halloween. We had a great dinner then ventured out in the rain to take the kids trick or treating. We felt kind of silly taking Noah since he doesn't get to eat the candy, but decided to do it anyway. Besides, Daniel and I love candy!
Here's our little skeleton.
A group shot of all the kids.
Noah and his spoils!
