Spring Break and Easter!!

We had having a wonderful spring break!! Beautiful weather in the 70's! Oma came to visit and we went to Legoland, the zoo, Nurnberg Orstern (easter) Market, and Amberg! We have been pretty busy!!

Legoland was SO much fun!! noah was able to go on every ride except for 1. I made him go on the roller coasters just to experience them. The pictures we got from the rollercoaster rides are priceless!! I don't like roller coaster rides much myself, but I went on the for the experience!! We plan on going back sometime in May for Noah's birthday. They are opening a new aquarium there!!!

Nurnberg Zoo was interesting. I have to say the stateside take much better care of their zoo's. The tanks were very sma

We had a lot of fun on Easter also!!! We made a scavenger hunt with the Easter eggs!! Victoria and Noah had a lot of fun looking for their easter eggs!!!! We also got our house ready for spring!! I have been looking forward to putting plants out!! I got my flower boxes put out on easter!!!! They all got spoiled for Easter. Unfortunately Victorias converse that I ordered in the begining of March never came. I ordered two pairs one for her birthday and one for Easter, neither have come. The best part of Noelle being so young this easter is I get to eat her candy!!!!!! Noah just got spoiled, but then again he is always spoiled.....

Noelle and her first hairdo!!!! I think she looks like a SUMO wrestler!!! Great blackmail photo!!!

Thanks for looking!!!!!

Professional Pics

Well, we finally got some done, it took 2 shoots, but we finally got some pics we liked. With only one around here they make it pretty expensive also..... But we are happy with the outcome!!

A little update, the whole in her heart has gone down in size, not a lot but anything is good!! It went from 2 mm to 1.5 mm, so it is progress! The pressures are still normal, so the DR's say they will just watch it. Her next heart ultrasound will be March 27th. She is currently over 14 lbs, and is eating too well!! LOL, all the 0-3 months wont fit her anymore. Some of the outfits she never wore. She is starting to smile all the time, and sleeps SO well!! We got a laugh out of her a couple days ago but haven't had anything since!

Noah was sick for a little over a week. Fevers of 103.8, it was pretty sad. He wanted to get up and play but just really didn't feel good. He is better after some nose drops and a leaf substance that increases his immune system. Now he is ready to go!!!!

Victoria is doing well, she made honor roll again! We are proud! She wants to try out for soccer, which training starts on Tuesday!! She has her military ball at the end of this month.

We are all looking forward to Kellie and Jon coming, and wish we could see more of our family out here!!!

First Baskeball game, and first pic of smiling!!

Noah had his first Basketball game last night. It was quite entertaining!!! There are quite a few kids on his team. Here they are all stretching and warming up, it is hilarious to watch a bunch of 3-5 year olds trying to do Jumping Jacks!!!The real coach couldn't do it, so they had 2 parent volunteers, well they know nothing about basketball so they would all gather around the net with their hands in the air. It was pretty funny!!!
But like I thought, Noah was pretending he was a superhero....haha You can just tell when he leaps across the gym he is thinking I am SUPERMAN, I can fly away, or I am HULK with strong powers....haha
They did great and had fun so that is really what matters!!!!!!! He just really isn't a sports kid. He likes his video games. He rented Mortal Kombat VS DC and he LOVES the game, I have to pry him away from it.... I actually like playing it too just because of mortal kombat, I remember playing it with my brothers, or actually being beat by my brothers....HAHA!!!

Anyways here are a couple of Noelle, she is smiling a lot more now and I FINALLY got a picture of it this morning!! She is doing amazing, and is such a chunky baby already weighing 12 lbs probably more by now! We go into the DR's on the 2nd for another heart ultrasound, we are hoping the hole has closed itself. If it hasn't they will check the pressures and it might not effect her lifestyle, and eventually close on it's own.

Here she is in the bows we are using for pics, but we are only using one of the not both...haha!!!


Last but not least, I had David try on the sleepy wrap. I bought it in black so he could wear it also!! They look so sweet together!!!

Yes thats Victoria Vaccuuming, she has chores....LOL The sleepy wrap is EXTREMELY comfortable we love it!!!!!

1 Month

It has been almost a month since Noelle arrived!! It has been a wonderful month! Noah enjoys her so much, and has become quite a big boy. He is doing so much more on his own now. When we see him now he looks so big, he is not our baby anymore!!The Holidays are long over now and things have gone back to normal for us!! Victoria is experiencing finals for the first time, and she has decided she hates them.... She has a desk to study at, but she ends up studying on the floor.....Why I am not sure

Noah has been going to school like usual, but has also started basketball! We are hoping he will do well, but aren't expcting much!! He isn't a sports kind of boy, he pretends he is a superhero out on the court, he is Flash or Superman, or Hulk, it is a different superhero all the time. Thanks to Nicholas and Erika he is also FREAKAZOID.....Yeah, thanks!!!! He has and is growing up so much!! We haven't put pics up in a while so there might be an overload. Noelle is getting so big!! We have an appointment on Monday and the will be doing a hip and kidney ultrasound. After that her next appointment is in February for her heart. We are hoping and praying her hole closes on it's own. She has been God's miracle from the begining, we just have to keep our faith in Him.
