The Summer So Far
We just got back from an awesome trip to Cincinnati to visit our good friends Michael, Emily, and their 14 month old son, Jacob. Since it was the first time we'd been to Cincinnati, we were treated to the full Cincy experience - A Reds baseball game, Montgomery Inn Boathouse ribs, Graeter's ice cream, and Skyline chili. It was a lot of fun, and Noah really enjoyed playing with Jacob.
Noah turned 16 months old yesterday, and he's had a busy summer so far. Here are some recent photos.

Not too sure about the camel at the petting zoo.
Mesmerized by the Roger Day concert.
This is a rarity now. He's so always on the go!

He played in the sprinkler for about 45 seconds...
Then he and Jacob preferred to play in the water bowl
Red/Cubs game
Great seats from one of the suites at the stadium
Great times and great friends in Cincinnati

Fun At The Beach
We were blessed to be able to spend our anniversary (5 years!! woo!) at Seabrook Island (SC) again this year. We love it there so much, and had so much fun. Noah was only 3 months old last year on our trip, so of course the ocean, sand, and waves were new to him. He LOVED it! He played hard, and he rested hard. He slept so well (naps and night time) while we there, which was great because Tyra and I had a chance to catch up on some R&R.
Here are a few highlights of our trip:
- Chased Noah up and down the beach...as he was chasing the "Ducks" (aka seagulls). He would say "quack, quack" at them. He's also a little confused and thinks that birds also "Meow" like cats, so he "meowed" a lot at the seagulls. I estimate he ran at least 1 mile during this 2 hour time period.
- Strolled the streets of Charleston, ate at AW Shucks for lunch, which was good. Noah enjoyed walking out on the pier in Charleston.
- Swam with Noah in the pool. Noah enjoyed sitting in the little jet ski float we got him.
- On Seabrook Island there is a lot of wildlife. We saw dozens of deer...yes, Noah thinks they "meow" too.
- Food is one of our big weaknesses at Seabrook. We devoured our favorite shrimp & grits at Rosebank Farms Cafe (twice), ate a cinnamon roll almost every day from Newton Farms grocery store(with extra icing!!), and I cooked a special anniversary dinner of filets and crab cakes. We decided to cook at the house for this meal so that we could have an "us" dinner after Noah was in bed! It was awesome.
Now for some photos:
So excited to be in the ocean!

Want To Sing The "NO" Song?
The "no" phase is alive and well!
This is just a 30 second clip of the entire 5 minute version of this game we played yesterday in the car as Mommy drove. We got into the theme of "Cinco de Mayo" (video was taken on 5/5/09) too, asking him if he wanted to sing the taco song, burrito song, salsa song, etc....then, the game was over when he said "Yeah" twice to "Do you want to sing the Corona song." Oops!!!

Just One Of The Guys
Noah went to the park the other day to play with his good buddy Houston. They had a great time, and Noah had fun playing with all the bigger boys. It's getting more difficult to bring Noah inside now that the weather is warmer. He loves being outside so much, and he doesn't approve of us bringing back inside most of the time. "Strong willed" and "opinionated?" Guilty as charged!!

2009 Orange & White Football Game
Last Saturday, we took Noah to the UT Orange & White spring football game. We had a great time, and Noah enjoyed watching the big crowd of people. I (Eric) was working a UT event in the skyboxes, so we were all able to hang out and watch the game in a personal box, which was awesome, especially for a loud, curious, and energetic 14 1/2 month old.
While I'm not ready to proclaim the 2009 VOLS as the best team in the SEC by any means, it was good to watch football again. Here are a few photos, and I will be adding some more later:

2nd Haircut, 1st Sucker (Lollipop)
Tyra took Noah this afternoon to get his 2nd haircut. This dude's hair grows as fast as lightning, so it was well past time for him to get his ear's lowered again. Not only is he looking dapper and sharp, but he got to have his first ever sucker/lollipop and was cracking up the barbershop by saying a loud "mmmmmmmmmmmmm" with every lick.

Happy Easter!
HE is risen! HE is risen, indeed.
We are so thankful for another beautiful Easter Sunday and for the many blessings that God has given us. We hope everyone has a very Happy Easter and take time to reflect on Jesus's life, death, and resurection. Jesus gave His all, all to Him, we owe!
Noah's Easter outfit today was the same one that I wore on my 2nd Easter. We both have February birthdays, but as you can tell, Noah is a lot taller than I was and he "fills out" the cute bunny outfit a little bit more than I did!

We got up and went to the early service at church, which was wonderful. Then came home and ate a great lunch that Tyra made....ham, mac 'n cheese, pineapple cheese casserole, green beans, rolls, and an unreal homemade carrot cake with homemade cream cheese icing. "Mmmmmmm," said Noah several times at lunch! Andrew and cousin Thomas joined us at church and lunch, then stayed around to watch some of the Master's golf tournament.
Noah had a great time picking up Easter eggs and smushing them in his hands. Here are a few more pictures from the entire Easter weekend:
