Busy Busy BUSY!!!
My goodness - these last four weeks have been so busy. It seems we've been in Go! Go! Go! mode nonstop. The boys and I have done quite a bit of traveling. We spent time with both sets of grandparents (Nate's in southern Indiana, mine in northern Michigan.) Had great times in both places. Will post pictures soon (check back tomorrow for Wordless Wednesday!)
Since coming home from the grandparents' houses, we've still been BUSY! We were lucky to have my cousin Bre come stay with us for a week - it was great! She's 12 and loves loves LOVES the boys. We had lots of fun and Bre was a great help to me. That same week, we got to spend more time with Gma and Gpa Martin as they camped nearby - we even camped with them for a few days. The mosquitoes were pretty thick, but the boys loved it! We spent a day at the beach, and went to see all the airplanes at the Kalamazoo Air Zoo - very cool!
Last weekend, we had a visit from Nate's parents (and grandparents and aunt!) It's so nice when family comes to visit. We had fun - very laid back, but a great visit. Noah loves playing with Mamaw and Papaw and we were glad to have them here.
Tomorrow, we're off to the zoo with our buddy Sy and his mom. It will be our first zoo trip of this year. The weather should be perfect, not too hot and low humidity. Can't wait - Noah knows giraffes, zebras, kangaroos, and monkeys, so I'm excited to show them all to him. I'm sure we'll have more pics to share soon!

What a difference a year makes . . .
Today is a day to celebrate and to reflect. It is Noah's Homecoming Day!!!! One year ago tonight we were anxiously waiting in the baggage claim of O'Hare Airport for our precious little man to come home forever. I remember it so well. Pacing, constantly checking the screen for flight updates, trying to find a place to buy a soft drink (just about impossible that late at night!) Waiting, waiting, waiting. And then, there he was! I look at pictures now and it seems so surreal - he looks so different now. He's grown so much! I think back on all the great things we've shared this past year and all the joy he's brought to my life. I can't find the words to describe it. I'll never be able to convey in this blog all the emotion of that night or all the wonderful ways this little boy has changed my life, so I'll just say,
"HAPPY HOMECOMING DAY, NOAH!
We love you so much."

Wordless Wednesday {Intro & Our Favorite Things}
One thing I love about blogs is stealing other people's ideas! I have a few mom friends who do some weekly features, namely the "Wordless Wednesday." Just a couple snapshots every week to share what our crazy kiddos are up to. Here are a few showing the boys doing their favorite things. Enjoy!
