Note To Self

A new little "Column" we'll add to every once in a while.

So Mr Noah USED to take pride in, nay, even ENJOY denying that he
pooped his pants, err diaper. Well, I'm a very wise daddy, so I
figured out how to train him to tell us that he did! I taught him that
it was FUN to say "I pooped!" wise that is until we're in skyline
chili and he begins announcing it, escalating in volume really. Until
Andrea and I are in tears. So of course, that helped NONE at all.
Louder, LOUDer, LOUDER!! By the end everyone...and no one volunteered
to change it. Oh well. Stay tuned for our next edition of Note To
Self: Laughing Doesn't Exactly Discourage The Behavior You're Trying
To Curb.

The Fruit of Ike: 10 More Bacon Wrapped Filets!

The Fruit of Ike: Powerlessness

Mr. Noah is TWO!!!! WAHOO! He's really enjoyed having power again. We've had power since about 5pm now. He's watched THREE videos today! Spoiling him rotten! This is a picture of him enjoying some lotion. He LOVES his lotion! However, he doesn't love to rub it in, just hold it until it warms up and slides off his hand. silly boy ;)

Heritage Tractor Rides With "Bah-Pah"

This was Friday night. Now were only one day away from the big SECOND
BIRTHDAY! Were without power because of Ike, but that provided a great
impromptu time to chilax with ALMOST all the neighbors. All item our
age anyway. Great times. Not really missing the power yet...

Were so thankful to announce that Mr Noah will be having a little brother! Right now the baby is called "He/Him." I know that stroke of creative genious will leave you temporarily stunned and maybe even breathless. Take a deep breath."He" is healthy in every way that we can tell. All the fingers and toes are there. He proudly showed us his little boy stuff, the WHOLE time. So there are no doubts about the future UFC bouts to take place in the back seat of our future minivans on some future trip to somewhere. His heartbeat was strong and all four chambers are operating exactly right. His diaphram is there between stomach and heart. Kidneys are both there. The brain & skull are "nice." Thats according to our ultrasound lady =)

We thought you all should hear Noah's wisdom for the day. This was today as we're walking out the door to Ms Heather's House. Since we're going to HOPEFULLY find out the gender of baby today we enjoy asking Mr. Noah from time to time what it is in Mommy's belly. Here are Mr. Noah's thoughts for the day...for now anyway...

Daddy: Noah, do you think Mommy is going to have a baby girl or baby boy?
Noah: Girl (sounds like Gurrrrrrrrrilllllllll, ascending as he says it almost like an inquisition)
Daddy: What should we name her?
Noah: Grandma (if you're one of these special people, you already know this sounds like Meee-Maw)

Priceless! =)


We'll let you know as soon as we do, IF Baby cooperates today!
