This post will be a quick one but I wanted to share some pictures that we took over the past week. Noah is finally learning how to sit up on his own. He can't get himself into the sitting position but if you put him that way he is able to sit by himself for quite a while. Here he is discovering his new found talent.

I just thought this picture was so cute! He looks so innocent..ha ha

Noah also got to swim in a swimming pool for the first time. Here he is checking out the water.

Here he is with me in the pool. Notice how I am more pale than my six month old son who has never seen the sun a day in his life!

We are leaving for our farm house in western Maryland after I get finished with my half day of work today so I will hopefully have a lot of pictures to share when I return. Happy 4th of July!!

Weekend Plans

Yawn. So, my little boy has decided that 5 a.m. is now a good time to wake mommy & daddy up. In addition to waking up at 12 or 1 for a bottle. I am dragging! I need more sleep! Anyway, we have a jam packed weekend so I am really hoping that he lets up sleep in a little bit on Saturday and Sunday morning...8 a.m. would be fantastic! On Saturday I am hoping to hit a couple of yard sales to see if I can find some clothes for Noah because he is growing like a weed! Then at 2:45
we have a birthday party to go to where Noah will be able to swim in a pool for the first time! When I say swim I mean we are going to hold him in the baby section, not throw him in or anything. Then after we get home from that my Mom and Stepfather might stop over to see Noah. Then Sunday morning Shawn is doing the sermon at church. Directly after church we have a picnic to go to at our "sister church" (cooperative parish we are starting). So, needless to say we wont have a lot of down time this weekend. In addition to all of this craziness we will be putting our house on the market and buying Shawn's grandparent's house as soon as it sells. So we need to do a lot of things to get our house ready to sell (de-clutter big time). We have also had two deaths recently, one in our church family and one in our family. So we will be attending one viewing on Sunday evening and then a memorial service on July 11th. So as you can see we have a very busy next couple of weeks. What are your plans for the weekend?
