First Road Trip!

Well..... Noah is well-travelled now. He's been to Arkansas and back!

Jen and her parents set out for Arkansas (braving the 16+ hour trip) on the 12th to go visit Noah's Great-Gran and Great-Papa so they could meet him while he was still little and spend some good quality time with him. Even his cousins Aimee, Jenni, and Toshya made a special trip into town to come meet him (and bring him lots of presents - so spoiled!) He did absolutely fantastic in the car both there and back, and was the most perfect little angel boy the whole time we were there. During that week he started to become more smiley and chatty, and even outgrew a couple of outfits too! He's getting bigger and growing up right before our eyes and is even cuter than the day before (as if we thought that was even possible!). He does, however, have a fussy time every night around the same time, so during this trip, his Mimi (Jen's Mom) helped Jen get him into a nightly routine that seems to be working out great for him (and us)!

This Valentine's Day we were apart, but that didn't stop us from finding ways to celebrate. We both had surprises up our sleeves that the other didn't know about! Sunday, Greg had flowers delivered to Jen's Grandparents house and a card in the mail a couple of days after that. Jen sent Greg on a mini scavenger hunt to find his card and present on Sunday after church. Noah even got a Valentine's present this year from his Great-Papa. A stuffed dog that he absolutely LOVED! He smiled and even talked to it quite a bit! =)

Nothing else new to report at this time. Just some more pictures. =) Enjoy!

What a wonderful time! Papa and I loved every minute we were able to spend with you and Noah. (Papa will miss Noah now that he had to go back to work--no more helping with bath time.) Hopefully, this will be the first of many family trips. What a good baby!!!

Erynn and I think so much alike! I love the pic with him on the pillow with the covers pulled up. He looks like such a little man! Glad the trip went so well...we sure missed seeing you. We'll definitely have to find some time really soon to meet Noah! He needs his Grandmum! :) Love you all tons and tons!
