beach photos

There are some photos from Nolan’s two (yes, two) trips to the beach on the site now.

These were momentous trips because while he was in the hospital we would imagine a day when we could go to Bald Head as a family and that being there would mean we had finally made it through.

We had the opportunity to go with David, Leon, Coleman and Logan for a few days which was great fun especially for Nolan who loves playing with his cousins. Then Kara and Nolan were able to return for a whole week (Ronan had to stay home to teach) with Mimi, Dindin, Aunt Margaret, Aunt Noni, Maria and Deb. It was nice to be there so long and to get to visit with the folks from Alabama. We also had a nice surprise visit from some friends who are living in Oregon. They brought their two sons who were great playmates/objects of interest for Nolan.

One of Nolan’s favorite things to do was to ride around in the golf carts, he thinks it is much better than a regular old car. He also liked playing in the tide pools, scooping sand and trying to feed the seagulls; he didn’t like the waves except for in very brave moments.

All in all both trips were welcome experiences and we can’t wait to return.

weight & wait

Monday, August 4th, 2008

Weight: 20 lbs 1.5oz! He is getting heavy to carry around for long.

Wait: We have pictures and tales to add to the site (beach trips for instance) but you will have to wait for now. Suffice it to say things are continuing to go well.

Again, many thanks to all of you out there. Stay cool and drink plenty of water!
