Noah's Bike


Noah got a bike for Christmas. It was CJ's old bike and therefore, he refused to ride it for the longest time. He just kept protesting "NO! IT'S CJ'S BICLE!!". Finally we got him to agree to try it out. He was very excited. He made a huge deal about the flames painted all over it exclaiming "it's my fire bicle, lotta lotta fire". We tried without training wheels, but the concept of balance is completely lost on Noah still so Josh put the training wheels on for him. He did really well so the next day we went on a long walk/bike-ride. I finally got to walk at a decent fat-burning speed!! :D I made him walk his bike across a few streets because he isn't very controlled yet. Noah also has a tendency to watch his front wheel instead of the sidewalk... or he'll talk to everyone who happens to be outside and not pay any attention to where he's going.



He's been extremely social lately. We went to Kohl's this one day and he had grandparents getting other grandparents to come experience "the Noah". He just chats everyone up. Everyone we pass "HI! we're at the store! Daddy's getting shirts. We waiting for Mommy". It's quite funny :) I like that he talks to people. I think if everyone were more like Noah there would be a whole lot less crime and violence.

Ava was very impressed with that video as well! Haha :) He looks so cute riding along! I can't wait for Ava to try her tricycle this summer. She has a Radio Flier that she got when she was 1....it will finally be the perfect size for her :)

Aww, his first bike!! That is so great. I loved riding my bike as a kid. I still remember wiping out a few times in the grass and in the cald a sac before I learned to ride well (without training wheels). I love that he has a fun personality! Haley talks all the time morning, noon, night it seems. SHe isn't as social when it comes to strangers, but with someone she knows it's non stop. First thing I hear in the morning is her talking to her animals or herself.

I had no idea it was a windy day till I turned on the volume. You can't tell without trees or bushes moving.
I bet the weather is beautiful there. It snowed 7 inches today in Ohio. UGH!!!! I am so sick of snow.

Hurricane Sandy

This will be a gleefully uneventful post, but I thought I should at least inform everyone of our whereabouts during Frankenstorm. On Friday the landfall predictions were further south, which had the eye passing near our tiny town after obliterating Dover, DE.  We happen to be surrounded by water.  The Patuxent River on one side, Chesapeake Bay on the other, plenty of swamps and creeks in between.  Not a good prospect. Josh and I had gone out that night to try and secure supplies and already, there were no batteries or flashlights.  We also don't have a grill and thought "we'll try Lowe's tomorrow"I mean, most people already own grills... right?  Everything in our house is run on electricity (including the water pump for the well) except for the fireplace.  I don't know what builders are thinking when they do that.  I at least want a gas stove and water heater!  So, anyways.  We got a few hours of sleep before trying to brave the crowds...

Hiking on the Guadarrama Trail

As promised yesterday, I actually left the house and went on a hike with Mama C and Goober!  YAY! I was a bad Mommy and ill prepared to shield us from the hot Spanish sun so we all have a touch of sunburn.  Whoops.  It was fun though.  OK so here's where we began our journey.  You can see the bridge between the roundabout and the little house with a red roof (which is a restaurant).  All the cylindrical buildings were a plant nursery.  We walked over the bridge and past the nursery where we crossed the street and then started up the dirt path.  The other little building is literally a Gypsy Keep. Here's what it looked like from the road... and it was so ridiculously creepy, yet fascinating.  I don't know why there is always tons of junk in trees around gypsy places.  There was a gutted van in the backyard, a stroller jammed into a wall, shorts in the trees.  We both wanted to trespass, but the kids would have inevitably fal...

Germany

Noah and I are having a great time out in Germany with Josh. The house we're sharing is amazing and the people are also amazing. The only thing we don't have is our own kitchen, but like I said, the people who live here (Josh's friends) are amazing so it's not even an issue. I've been cooking for everyone to try to thank them in some way. We haven't been to many places yet. It's hard to go anywhere with a baby who has a naptime and a husband who has a job. However!! We managed to make it out to Heidelberg to see the castle. It was awesome. the walk up to the castle mmmm castle Heidelberg down below Christmas is huge here. They've even got Christmas markets out in the parking lot in front of WalMart. We've been to Luisenplatz a few times in downtown Darmstadt to visit all the Christmas shops they have set up. It's like a Christmas flea market. Thus far all I've blown money on is candy... mmmm German candy is so delicious. It's...
