Make a Smilebox greeting

Long, long ago in a galaxy far, far away . . .

We had a fun filled Halloween here in Washington. We lucked out with a warm night so no coats over the costumes! That always helps to have a positive experience.




As you might have guessed, our kids are slightly obsession with Star Wars. They chose Darth Vader and Princess Leia of their own accord so, a week before Halloween, I decided to include Noah in the fun and make him our little Yoda.

Darth turned to the light side of the force.

Noah's Growin'!

We survived the first two months! Two more and hopefully some of us will start getting a better night's sleep . . . hopefully . . .

2 weeks-ish

Noah is a good boy and his brother and sister love him! He has reflux (a.k.a. GERD) but we're three for three with that now, so at least I know the symptoms, know the meds, and know how to treat it. So far we know that he does not care for pepperoni or chocolate. I can live without pepperoni, but I am starting to miss chocolate. Oh well, he's worth it!

Oh yeah! And please notice that even though we have had three reflux babies in a row, we have not had three red-headed babies in a row! He's blondish to light brown ("baige" to you Tuellers). Don't get me wrong, I love my beautiful red-head kids, but I am so excited to not be left out in family pictures anymore! Maybe I'll get some credit for his looks this time around!

2 weeks-ish


I wish I could still get him to take a binki. *sigh*

After my parents where here for the first week, Grammie Sherri came to help out for a week. We visited the Columbia River Temple here in the Tri-Cities. We're so glad that everywhere we've lived there has always been a temple close by.

Isn't it nice having Grandma around?

The kids survived the summer with water fun. We went through two pools this summer, popped them both.

Recently, Tanner informed us that, "I a MAN-BOY!" And that he is! You can almost see the testosterone pulsing through his veins!

And our big girl Hailey started kindergarden! There weren't any tears from her or me, we were both ready! (There are some days that I feel ready for all day school!) She just loves doing grown-up things like riding the bus and eating lunch at school once a week. I think school will be a good fit for Hailey!

Hailey's first day of kindergarden.

And Noah just keeps getting bigger!

6 weeks old

He is now 2 months old and it is so satisfying to see him smile! We can hardly wait to see his personality emerge.

(notice the blond? Oh yeah!)

Noah

Our little Noah James was born Tuesday, July 14, 2009 at 6:16 pm. He weighed 7 lbs. 8oz. and was 20 inches long.

Hailey is a little nurturer. She loves to hold Noah, check on him and every time he cries she tells me, "He's hungry!"

Tanner will ask to hold him but it literally only lasts for about three seconds and he's done. We were lucky to get this shot.

We're lucky to have Grandpa Dennis and Gramma Marti here to help! Noah loves sleeping on Grandpa.

No words just fun pictures!

So...we realized the past few months have been busy and fun for us, but we haven't blogged all of it, so here are a bunch of pictures to show you the fun we had before our move to Washington. Don't forget to read the next post too. You know it is a great day when the Furness family has two blog posts in the same day!
