CAPTAIN Houston

Here are some pictures from Jon's recent promotion to CAPTAIN!

This time... I will let the pictures do the talking...but I have to explain one thing. Once you "pin" the new rank on the soldier, the wife (or whoever is pinning) must then PUNCH them in the chest where the rank is! The only shot we got of me punching Jon was the aftermath smile Jon has on his face here....

notice..the Col is holding baby James so I can pin Jon :)

1 month old!

We celebrated James's 1 month Birthday with a yummy German Chocolate Cake...as requested by Daddy.

Just had to post the rest of these...
I've been trying really hard to capture a good picture of this little man's curls...His hair gets curly ( like mine) when it's wet...Although I have been tempted to put mouse in it so they will stay..I have and will continue to resist that urge...I'm hoping his hair will start to show the curls more when his hair gets longer. For now, I just get to see those cute curls when his hair is wet.


Can you believe this little dude is already 1 month old???
More to come...pictures and a post from Jon's Birthday ....

Oh, and thanks to my dear friend Jamie...did you notice that cute little 1 on his onesie? She made these nifty little number stickers for each month up until he turns a year old. (so this forces me to stay on top of monthly pictures of the dude!) And..she even coordinated the number with the month...so look for his 2 month sticker to be Halloween colors! She's so creative! :)

"I scooped the shovel"...

Yep...that is what Noah will tell you if you ask him what he did in Kindergarten.

Our little Noah isn't little anymore. He started German Kindergarten on Sept. 1 and has loved it!

I was so proud!!!!

Here's Noah on his very first day.

So we celebrated by taking Noah for some yummy schnitzel at a great German place up the road from us. We invited a sweet family who has boys about the same age apart as Noah and James will be. Noah adores these boys!
Do you see that he's sitting with the big boys? without a highchair or anything!

I guess this is what happens after a long hard day of Kinder......he fell asleep, practically standing up until I grabbed him...and then he just konked out in my lap...LOL

And...here's a few more fun pictures...so you can see what we've been up to!

Jon and James time....

One of the reasons why being able to pump while you are breastfeeding pays off...Big Brother can help feed Little Brother!

He was SOOOOOO excited to help feed "baby Jame"

And...here's the BIG BOY...making Mommy yummy pancakes!

Sorry it takes me forever to post...Im new at this Mom of 2 thing, so you'll have to excuse the lack of posting until I get the hang of it!!!
