A Thousand Words

This was after our day at the Lake. Tristan is so stinkin' cute and smiley after a bath. Josh was kind enough to bring him downstairs and share the wealth :)

My proud drooly baby is a confident sitter and crawler... sorta. He's getting there hahaha :)

Noah's been coloring all week. As you can see, he stays in the lines now! Tristan was helping by drooling all over Noah's markers.

Noah built a castle all by himself and insisted I take a picture of his work of art. I was impressed with the design. He's so very talented.

Noah broke into the pantry and dumped out all the plastic bags and was diving into them like they were a pile of leaves. I took a video, but it's 3 minutes long and I am too lazy for it to upload. I will probably shorten it and put it onto the scrapbook site eventually. You can edit on that site.

Since Noah rides his big boy bike I get to go on power walks every day with the boys. Noah rides fast enough that my legs actually hurt from trying to keep up with him. His favorite thing to do is make skid marks all over the sidewalk now that he's learned about the brakes. Thankfully his shoes shall be spared now that he uses the pedals. He's getting very good! Tristan was carried most of his life so I didn't know how he would take to the stroller, but he loves it. He especially loves when he catches a glimpse of Noah on his bike riding next to him. I'm happy to report I have lost another 2lbs since we started the daily power walks and I can actually SEE it on myself. YAY! :D

Congrats on the 2 lbs!! I lost 2lbs these past two weeks too! I don't know why though I think just from nursing. My weight loss has really slowed down now but I'm still slowly losing more...If I would work out I would lose more I'm sure but lately I have been waaaaay too preoccupied & drained :)

Tristan is just changing so much. I love how his face is rounding out. Yo have two very happy boys. You can tell how loved they are!

Way to go Allie!! That is awesome losing 2lbs. I love to walk. I just hate doing it by myself. I really need to start though int he neighbor. Lindsay kind of pooped out on me with the walking, so I haven't been in the past week.

I love Noah's castle! Haley tries to build the same things. Her and Dave are always building something. I love NOah's little bike. How cute!! Tristan is getting so big. He looks like he love his stroller. I like that it has the shoulder straps. Haley's isn't like that. Just the lap belt.

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...
