Is it just me, or does Noah seem sublimely unimpressed with the culinary wonder that is Sweet Potatoes? He stared solids a couple of weeks ago, and these are his favorite vegetable so far. He loves bananas, hates peas, and seems to like green beans. Burton and Annette use a feeder with him, which is kind of a modified bottle- not the gerbil feeder that Kyle loves to envision.

This weekend was a big weekend. It was my first Mother's Day with an external baby, and Mother's Day happened to fall on our wedding anniversary. Kind of a two-fer. We spent Saturday with my Mom, celebrating her a little bit, and then drove to surprise Annette at church on Sunday morning. (I'm skipping completely over the huge and beautiful bouquet of flowers that Kyle got for me for our anniversary. You just haven't gotten all sniffly over flowers and a card until you've done it at 4:00 in the morning with a breast pump in one hand and the card in the other. I'm just saying.)

You would be amazed at how hard it is for a youth minister to take off on Sunday.

At any rate, the day didn't go exactly as planned, but here are a couple of photographic highlights:

This is a great shot that we took for Annette- Gary doesn't have shades because the only ones he had were the ones he stole from Noah...cute little sucker, isn't he? Then there's the popular Daddy and Noah shot...and some good pictures with Grandpa. It's hard to tell who's happier in those.
