Brother John came to eat supper with us on Friday night.  It was just like old times goofing off and having fun with "Butter Man" as Noelle likes to call him!

… later that night, someone got into Mommy’s lipstick and got caught!

Lunch with Emme!

It was so great seeing Emme and Elizabeth today!

IMG_9297

Noelle was taking good care of Emme!  She was so proud of her little friend, patting her and giving her her paci.  She talked and talked, telling Emme lots of girly things.

We gave Emme a little Easter bunny romper and her mommy was as happy as she was!  We love you guys!

Fun Days!

March 4th, 2008

We have been busy busy the past couple of days.  We played with the neighborhood kids again on Sunday, signed up for school on Monday morning (we waited in line for 3 hours!), played with Hudson that afternoon and went to Mops this morning.

Saturday we had some friends over for supper and games.  Noelle absolutely loves Jillian, Jamie, and Sam – we play with them a lot (I’m going to start bringing my camera to the park more often, but I’m trying not to be camera mom at the same time)!

Lindsay supervising the kiddy table.  Sam and Jillian have the cutest little personalities.  I love how Jillian’s just hanging out with her legs crossed in the 2nd pic.

Busy coloring…

Since Jillian has a paci, Noelle had to have a paci.  It was so cute and funny – she had no clue what to do with it.  She had it on the side of her mouth, just gnawing on it like a little horsey.

We had to clean up the kitchen and run a load of laundry after everyone left, so Noelle got comfy and watched a Coldplay concert while we got ready for bed.  She loves the yellow song (that’s what she calls it).  I’ll post it for you to hear soon.

"Baby Stroll!"

Noelle and her sweet friend Ashley took baby doll on a fun stroll up and down the hill Saturday afternoon!

Noelle loves her new outfit to match her baby doll!

I love the pine trees at the top of our hill – they remind me of East Texas!  Our neighbor Ashley is the survivor of a kidney transplant.  She is a brave and kind little girl, and we love to play with her.

Noelle was taking such good care of her baby, making sure she was having lots of fun!

IMG_9204

The neighborhood boys thought Noelle was so cute!  They even let her play football with them… they are good kids.

IMG_9208 

When Noelle threw the ball, one of the boys said, "She’s a baby girl Tony Romo!"  Noelle felt so special and loved playing with the big kids.

…going up the hill one last time!  "Bye bye!"  We had such a great afternoon playing outside!
