Pictures from our broken camera

Here are some pictures from the Creation Museum and one from the Air Force Museum. We bought another camera on ebay, so the pictures can continue. We had a great Thanksgiving with all of our family. Noel's big achievement was mastering the stairs at Aunt Christy's house. Tonight we learned that he will sway back and forth and clap his hands if we play Transiberian Orchestra. He's a rock star already!

Happy Thanksgiving!!

We probably won't be posting any pictures for a while, since I dropped our camera on a cement floor and broke it!! But I will tell you that we have been enjoying David being home for the last week. He had last Friday off, then took Monday thru Wednesday off as well. For the weekend we went on a mini-vacation visiting The Creation Museum, our friends Brian and Ashley Craw, and the Air Force Museum. All three stops were so much fun. We really enjoyed the Creation Museum. If you are ever around Cincinnati, take the afternoon to see it.

We are thankful this year for so many things. Here are just a few:

*Health and Safety for everyone. Noel has been sick twice in the 13 months of his life!

*Beautiful Fall weather

*Family

*Friends

*Music

*Laughter

Mostly we are just so thankful for each new day and all that it holds. Every day is an adventure, a chance to learn, to give, and to become more like the One who gave us these days. We hope you all have a great Thanksgiving!

Revision from last blog entry

Noel did NOT find Pac-Man on my cell phone. He BOUGHT Pac-Man and had it installed on my cell phone. This makes me lean towards the boy genius side.

Boy Genius? or Clueless Mother? You Decide

So David is gone with the youth group and I decided that Noel and I would go to Indy to do some Christmas shopping and have dinner with the Cole Family. After an afternoon of being contained he was not very happy about being in the car seat all the way home. He literally cried and screamed for almost the whole trip. I had finally had enough, and when we hit the first stoplight in Kokomo, I turned around and told him to stop. Then I handed him my cell phone to occupy him.


Silence.


I look back, and he is staring at the screen of the phone. Then I hear music coming from the phone. I take the phone back a couple of stoplights later only to find that Noel has found Pac-Man on my phone.

I've had the same cell phone for 3 years, and I've never seen Pac-Man. Noel has it for 3 minutes, and he's on his 2nd level (okay, not really, but come on!!) I said a quick prayer of thanks for lightening the mood. What in the world will this kid figure out next?

Always on the go

These days, Noel is into everything! It's pretty entertaining. If we can't see him for a few minutes and it's quiet, we know there's trouble! Yesterday we found him inside the closet inspecting our paper supply. Then it was quiet later in the night and he had pulled about 50 baby wipes out of the dispenser, one by one! The other picture is of Noel cheering the Colts on (even though they lost) in his Colts jersey. The funniest thing about this picture is what you can't see. He is standing on my guitar case. He stood on top of it and watched the game for about 15 minutes, trying to walk up and down. He is so into climbing right now. And falling doesn't even seem to bother him. What are we in store for next???

Dragosaurus?

Okay, so Noel had a great Halloween, despite the fact that it took his parents most of the night to realize he was a dragon, not a dinosaur (oops). Attached is a link to some pictures from Halloween as well as some other funny/cute ones.
