Wow, I haven't posted here in a long time - over a month and a half . . . I will try to remedy that - we had a great Christmas with Noah's grandparents, uncle, aunt, and cousins (and their dogs). I will post some pictures soon. For now, here is a pic taken yesterday, on the last night of Hannukah.

Grandpa's Pictures!

Who Me?

Noah's Grandpa Steve and Grandma Max were up from Maryland this weekend and Grandpa took these GREAT pictures of Noah - (unfortunately, and once again, we didn't get any pictures of them with Noah, we were just having so much fun going and doing things . . .)

Leaves!

THE TIMES THEY ARE A - CHANGIN'!!!

Your old road is
Rapidly agin'.
Please get out of the new one
If you can't lend your hand
For the times they are a' changin'!!!

Trick or Treat!

This was Noah's second Halloween - and we went again with Noah's cousins trick or treating in their neighborhood. Noah was very excited to walk up to all the doors and take candy and put it in his pumpkin. He was also excited to examine all the glowing pumpkins that were on people's steps! Below is a video of Noah walking up to someone's door and generously offering them his candy! (Not the cutest exchange of the night, but unfortunately the only one I got on tape).

It's That Time Again . . .

Time for PUMPKINS . . . wow, what a difference a year makes!

First Haircut!

New videos of Noah playing with Martin.

But, not ready for his Audience with the Queen quite yet . . .

Noah gets spiffed up!

We were invited to the Bat-Mitzvah of Eva, the daughter of my oldest friend . . . (boy do I feel old now!) Noah enjoyed the service and also enjoyed getting dressed up for it, as you can see . . .

Beach Morning

Bethany Beach . . . 6:30 a.m.

More Friends At The Beach!

We got to see Rachel, Michael, Jordan and Max and were so happy to be able to spend some time with them. Above is a GREAT picture of Jordan and Max with Noah. Below is Rachel wearing Noah's monkey ears . . .(too bad we didn't get one of Michael in the tiger ears, but he wisely declined to wear them . . .)

Friends at the Beach!

Rebecca (displaying blue plate)

We got to spend some time with Dan, Katherine, Joshua and Rebecca while we were at the beach. They are some of our favorite people!

Dan and Joshua in the ferocious ocean!
(Unfortunately, Joshua overheard Dan joking that "the Ocean demands a sacrifice" and offering up Noah to the Ocean gods . . . apparently he went home talking about how the Ocean was going to "eat" him. (Oh well, nothing that a little therapy can't cure, right?)

Joshua looks like he has a secret!

Who? Us?

Bethany Beach (II) !!!

Bethany Beach!

We spent a week at Bethany Beach in Delaware - Noah was very excited to stand at the edge of the ocean and feel the waves . . .

Newport!

Yesterday we went to Newport, RI for the day. (We had not been back to that area since our wedding . . .) We were very excited to take Noah to Breton Point Park and watch the kiteflying.

We went on a sailboat around Newport Harbor!

And, of course, we couldn't pass up the opportunity to drive by the place where we got married (but they were setting up for a wedding, so we had to quickly sneak away, but we did manage to get this picture of the sign for the Portsmouth, RI Town Hall - where our marriage certificate is!)

Here are some videos of us watching the kites flying at Breton Point Park!
