QUICK UPDATE...

Just a quick catch up... We had a great summer! We went to Hayward, Wisconsin in July for a week and had an amazing time with Scott's family (well they are my family too!). Anyway, Noah got to do a lot of "firsts"... ride a horse, ride in a boat, fish, play miniature golf (if you want to call it that-- he actually preferred running up and down a little hill that was on the course... we would not recommend taking an almost two year old miniature golfing!), and most importantly-- participate in his first (hopefully of many) Hayward family vacation!! Noah is growing like a weed and continues to be the joy of our lives. We are exhausted but happy. He is just so much fun. He's a busy little guy who loves to run and play outside. He is talking like a champ and is so smart. He is definitely a little mimic... so we really have to watch what we say. Scott and I went to our friends Molly and James' wedding in early August and Noah had his first sleepover! HE did really well... Scott and I- not so much. We missed him like crazy and couldn't wait to pick him up the next morning. Noah's Auntie Pam and cousins Maria and Angela watched him and they said he was very good. Pam said he was a really good listener and slept really well for her. Thank goodness... now she'll want to watch him again. He is really comfortable with them... so we really weren't worried but we did miss him. This post is getting long... I'm going to attach some Hayward pics.
