Que Sera Sera

Today is our 5th anniversary!!! Wow... that means we're in our 6th year of marriage... dang. Time sure flies by! Ironically enough after 3 years of separation this is actually the 1st time Josh and I haven't been together for our anniversary. We're going to celebrate when he gets back.

In other news. Tristan cut his 2nd tooth and may actually be cutting two more (all on the bottom). I'm not positive, but it looks like it so we'll just have to wait and see. Noah and I are learning baby signs so that we can communicate with Tris better. I wanted to do baby signs with Noah, but I tried starting way too late and lost my motivation. I'm excited to see how it all goes. Noah was imitating all the signs on the video and seems excited about it too!

The other day I watched Caleb for a couple hours so Heather and Jeff could go out to eat. He and Noah had a blast! All 3 of our boys, despite the huge age gaps, are so sweet to each other. Caleb always brings Tristan toys, Noah always shares with Caleb, Tristan watches them both with awe. Noah looks like a MONSTER around Caleb, though... he's just ginormous.

It's time to go buy Noah clothes again. All his short-sleeve tees are too small on him. We've gotta get him some 4T now... wah!! :( I don't mind spending the money or doing the shopping. I just can't believe how big he got and how fast it went. His new thing is "Monsters are in my toybox" or "a T-Rex is in my closet" and apparently the T-Rex comes out and does his dinosaur puzzles sometimes... hmmmm lol. Look at him in his little muscle tee and "soccer game hat"!! He looks so grown-up.

Heather and I found the greatest scrapbook store EVER! It's a little shop with a playroom (including baby gate). I asked the owner to make me a cut-out that said Fort Gordon and she did it on the spot and only charged me 99 cents!!! Her grandson was there and he's 3 so he and Noah watched movies on a portable DVD player while Mommy shopped. I can't wait to start Tristan's scrapbook! It's going to be nice to be able to print out certain parts of the blog (like his birth story) and include them into his scrapbook. Hopefully my prints arrive soon!

I see Tristan's two teeth! How fun :)
Is he a happy teething baby? Ember is for the most part but has a few really clingy whiny days & nights here & there from it.

That seems right that Noah is in size 4 now. Ava is in size 3 and she is almost 2 & 1/2.
Size 4 does seem so grown up! I love the picture of Noah in the white tank, how cute! He will be a heart breaker some day...probably sooner then you expect! :)

Aww poor Tristain and his teeth. That is so great he's crawling!! That is such a big step in a baby's world. I had to seriously block off everything with Haley.

Noah looks adorable with his "wife beater." He's going to be such a heart breaker. Haley is getting into all her 3t clothes. I can't believe how tall she is getting. I'm so emotional about it haha.

I love scrapbook stores!! HOw fun! Are you allowed to do scrapbooking in the store? I know the one around here you can. I haven't scrapbooked in a month or so. I ran out of pictures. I have to print so more out.

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...

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...

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...
