Noah did not start out in this outfit on Sunday. He started out in jeans and a onesie that said "Mommy's little monster" and had a picture of a dinosaur on it.

By the time we got to morning worship, he had already had one wardrobe change. Another one came halfway through services, and a third after services when Noah proved that he has a truly dramatic sense of timing and made his presence known while we were waiting for one of our girls to be baptized. We had small groups Sunday so couldn't go home for backups. After change number four, Mommy ran out of more clothes. The result is the outfit you see here, also known as plan E. Leftover camp shirt: check. Socks that matched outfit number one: check. One really tired baby: also check. Still awfully cute though, isn't he?

Noah and Daddy got to go play outside today. You can't really tell, but he's having quite a lot of fun. We had mid-70's today. It was fantastic.

Uncle Timmy graduates from the Firefighter's Academy tomorrow. I think it's just one of the coolest things ever that he's officially a fireman. It's something he really wanted to do and he went for it...and now he's doing it. I admire that so much. I'm going to attempt to get off work to get over there- graduation is, quite randomly, scheduled for 3:00 in the afternoon. Pictures will be forthcoming.

Athena had puppies today. We didn't even know that she was pregnant. Three black, two brown, and we'll see how they look once she gets settled in and won't eat us when we go in the pen.
