Daily Cuteness!

This morning as we were getting ready for church, Liliana all on her own initiative (to help, I suppose), BRUSHED NOAH'S TEETH!!! Way too sweet! What makes it even sweeter is that he cooperated with her! She had him say "ahh", just like we do.

Noah is getting so big! He is speaking more and more articulately too...he used to say "downdairs", but today he said "downstairs", very clearly! He is using bigger sentences all the time too!

Liliana likes to ride in Daddy's blue car home from church when it works out for him to take her. Well, today on their ride home from church she told him: "I love to learn, I want to live under the table at church (the one in the toddler room) so I can just learn all the time. I just need my toothbrush and some clothes and I can live there." Too cute!!!

Noah's Milestones

Noah stopped using a sippy cup 2 or 3 months ago.

He now sits at the table with us...and not in his highchair anymore! We can put it away for a while.

10 Day Caribbean Cruise

A little over a year ago David Albano, at CCC began advertising a 10 Day Caribbean Cruise for anyone interested in going. One of the stipulations to making it a "church" outing was to have a pastor accompany the group to provide bible study's each morning and a Sunday service with Communion on the first Sunday of the trip. So, the four of us packed our bags and off we went with about 34 others! :o)

We stopped at 5 ports: San Juan, St. John, St. Maarten, and Tortolla and I can't remember the other one...We did not get of at every stop, only two of them as it cost extra, it was a lot for the kids, and I just did not feel to great a lot of the time. :o)

Here is Megan's Bay in St. John:

Me, Liliana & Noah. Liliana and I spent almost the entire time out swimming in the absolutely perfect water!!! :o) What a sweet time!!! She is a good little swimmer...just like her mommy...a fishy!
What a yummy fruit drink that was!
Beach Babe!

LOL...she was crazy with that sand! She was digging like a puppy! Soo silly! :o) She's pretends to be a doggy no matter where she is! Ha!

See...digging like a puppy!

The water came up and got them!

My man bringing us some DELICIOUS hot pizza...the water brings out your appetite!

Our ride back to the ship: the Norwegian Gem...It was GINORMOUS!!! I didn't like looking at it as it overwhelmed my senses...I am weird like that...I am like that with mountians too! Ha!

Noah was POOOPED...we got back to the room and showered up and he crawled right onto the bed and fell asleep just like this right away! Awe!

This is in Antiqua, St. Maarten. Rough waters...I swam a lot of the time while the kids played in the sand. I got knocked over and sucked under a handful of times...you get the feel for it and learn to roll with the waves after a few times, but still, rough. There were lots of shells here, Liliana and I had fun looking through them and brought some home!

Mr. Sandman! He was COVERED in sand...and he enjoyed eating it!!! Oh Boy! :o)

I have lots more pictures, but need to get to bed. :o)

What a wonderful time we had and are SO SO SO SO SO BLESSED to have Donnie with us for 13 days straight!!! :o) He is the best husband and Daddy EVER!!! Noah is especially cute during and after any family vacations as he gets extremely attached to Daddy...last night he even told me to "go away" at bed time because he wanted Daddy to sing to him. :o) During the day I tell Donnie that Noah is orbiting him! ha!

Thank you, Jesus for Donnie and our precious family!!!

Lots of Random Cuteness!!!

We borrowed a classic Blues Clues DVD from the library recently and Noah LOVES it. He wears Luvs diapers, which have blues clues on them and he has never really cared about the pictures on them until now...he is obsessed with looking at the picture to see if it is "CoosCoos" or "Winkle". He gets all excited about his diapers now and is the sweetest and cutest thing ever!

Noah is OBSESSED with the Power Lab music from the VBS the summer before last. He is especially obsessed with song #1, the theme song. He has figured out how to eject the dvd and reset it to play song #1 over and over again...to me, that is a lot of hassle to hear just one song, but he does it! In the van, he will ask over and over and over again for "POWER"...meaning, song #1! Liliana and I are tired of "power". haha!

It happened...something that happens to many 3 year old girls...she cut a chunk of her hair...not much...a thin strip about an inch wide right smack in the middle of her bangs. Haha!!! I will post pics soon!

Baby Capps #3

We are expecting our third baby!!! :o) We always thought we just wanted two children, but I love being a mommy so much and I just kept thinking that when I am 80 I would wish I would have had "ONE more"... Plus, I think part of me just wanted to give our kids more family to cherish as they grew older. Donnie and I both made the decision to try for one more and here we are!

After we found out we were expecting, I asked Liliana "What would you think if Mommy and Daddy had another baby?" and her eyes bugged out of her head and she said "Yes, a GIRL one"... Awe!!! Since then I have caught her changing Noah's diapers a couple of times...I think she is getting ready! Hehe! I know she will be the best big sister, again!

My due date is September 18th!

Donnie is the sweetest, he randomly says "I love our new baby"...awe!!!

We LOVE you sweet baby and can't wait to meet you...for now, stay cozy and go easy on mommy... :o) xoxox!
