Labor day weekend

We had a full house on labor day weekend. Sarah and Kate came to visit us all the way from Tennessee and then our neighbors Bo and Kay and Courtney and Ryan came over for a cook out on Sunday. The house was full of kids and Noah had blast, even though he was the only boy around and the youngest :) It wasn't hard for me to figure out that Noah is a little social butterfly :) He loves to be around people, especially kids and he loves to watch them play and interact together. Noah also wants to be a part of everything, which can be either good or bad depending on a situation but mostly it's good and we are overjoyed to have such a curious and full of life little munchkin. Here are some pictures of Noah and Kate from the labor day weekend:

I've taken some new pictures of Noah this morning and I am very satisfied with the end result. Gosh - will I ever get bored with taking pictures of him? Probably not :) I LOVE it and Noah still doesn't mind it so I need to take advantage of it while it lasts.





I LOVE the way this one turned out :) So precious.

And this one....

US Virgin Islands 2009

We are back from our amazing trip to US Virgin Islands! It was truly one of the most beautiful places we have seen so far. We stayed there for 9 nights, which was about all that Noah could tolerate :) Yeah we took a 10 month old baby for a vacation :)) It was definitely a wonderful trip for us but Mr Noah kept us busy the entire time! So to make a long story short, it was a very challenging kind of vacation for us but nevertheless, we enjoyed it to the fullest. Most of our time was spent on dining out (which Noah enjoys as much as we do), going to the beach or watching Noah take his naps :)Even though we were limited to what we could do, we tried to do as much as possible. We were literally all over St. Thomas- we visited the botanical garden, Magen's Bay (which was the nicest bay we have ever seen)and spent a lot of time in downtown area. After couple days in St. Thomas, we took a fairy to St. John and rented a small cabin right on the beach! Let me just tell you, the island is a true paradise and for the most part we were the only people in the area. A dream come true :) Even Noah enjoyed the tranquility of this incredible island :) He took longer naps while there and investigated everything around. I hope you will enjoy the pictures I have taken during our vacation. I Love them :) So many great memories preserved forever and ever!

St. John- the most amazing island I have ever seen. We have been to Hawaii last year and I thought Hawaii was the best but I am a water lover so St John was a paradise for me.


Our lover boy!

We spent a LOT of times riding in taxis like this one.
