Playing with Noah

We just got back from camping in Colorado, watching the Pageant in Palmyra, and going to Niagara Falls. Here are some pics of our long vacation!!

When we went to Niagara Falls it was pouring rain!! we got soaked, but Noah loved the water.




Noah did a great job camping. It was the first time he slept 13 hours in a row. Unfortunately, he hasn't been close to doing that again.


Moroni and Noah were so sad that Brasil lost the World Cup...4 more years :-(


Noah loved being in Colorado and meeting his Aunt, Uncles, and Cousins.

Baby Noah is Here

Here are some pictures of our little new addition (sorry they are so late in coming - it has taken awhile to get used to him)

Noah - at the hospital
The first thing I noticed was his beautiful perfect little finger nails.


Noah - 1 week old
No sleep this week - just nursing and changing diapers all day long


Noah - 2 weeks old
Look how little he is




Noah - 3 Weeks old


Noah - 4 Weeks old


Noah and Moroni - 5 Weeks old
They are so cute!


Noah - 6 Weeks old
Noah is finally able to smile and interact with us - First one caught on Camera!!


Noah - 7 Weeks old
He loves playing with this - he looks at it and cries when I take him away :(


Noah - 8 Weeks old
He is finally growing out of some of his outfits. I almost started crying when I think of how fast he is growing.

Moroni and I went to NYC on Christmas - I guess living in the east has some perks. We got to see all the wonderful lights at Rockefeller Center.

It was funny, when we walked to The Center, Moroni thought that this was "The Famous Tree" - Boy how I am in LOVE!!

After looking at all the beautiful lights we went to The Bryant Park market and had the chance to look at overpriced junk. The big thrill of that was coming home and warming up with a nice cup of hot chocolate.

Washington DC - Thanksgiving

My dad, stepmom, and step brother came over from CA to visit us during Thanksgiving. It was so much fun to have family here during the holidays!!!
We went to DC and here are some lovely pictures of it:

Natural History Museum:
VERY BIG...there is so much to look at - AMAZING!!


I think this was Moroni's favorite, but we only had about 2 hours in the Air and Space Smithsonian. He spent a lot of time in the simulators, and luckily the place was empty because everybody else was celebrating Turkey Day.


OK...you can all tell me...I am beautiful!!


When we went to the White House our president was taking a stroll on the lawn (we think) so this is a close as we were able to get. It was funny, once we moved on we heard that they opened up the square again - we basically have perfect timing.



It was wonderful to see the Lincoln Memorial. I actually had time to read all that he said - he was definitely inspired.


Here is an escalator. I know, I know, no one has ever seen an escalator before. However, I believe that this is the worlds longest escalator!!! It took us about 15min (no joke) to go up this thing. I will have to contact Guinness Book of World Records and let them know about the DC Metro Escalator.

Beautiful Pictures from Connecticut

Yeah, my wonderful mother came up and took some pictures of Moroni and I. Well, she came up to visit me and see my pregnant belly, but taking pictures was an added plus.

Here is a collection of some of my favorites:




Here is a picture of my mom and I - we had such a fun time together.


OK - I know I am not in this one, but Moroni is so sexy. And also - side note - this is the only picture that I took (I know beautiful, you now want me to take your pictures:)


These are at Wavenly Park. I think architecture of these buildings are amazing. They really frame the beauty of the tree's around.

Our Trip to Rhode Island

So I managed to come back a little sooner than expected. Yeah!!! This is a little photo album of our adventure.

Believed by some to be the oldest building in America - Who knows, either way, it is beautiful!!



A Pumpkin Patch in Newport, RI

Moroni is so good looking; however, I think he is a little preoccupied with the baby growing in my belly


The most picturesque path I have ever seen. Even though Robert Frost is from New Hampshire I think he was here when he wrote some of his poems.




We tried some great apple cider and apple pie at this orchard.

Moroni instead insists on taking a picture of me entering "the john"

Overall, the tree's are gorgeous and the company was great - I call the trip a success.
