Hi From Michigan

Hi everyone! We're here. On the exterior I am calm and collected. On the inside I am screaming," OH MY GOD WE F-ING MOVED ACROSS THE COUNTRY!" It is a bit sureal, especially since Jeremy is not here yet and we are not in our new home. I am staying with my parents until our stuff arrives. I have to remind myself that I did not just move back in with my parents. Don't get me wrong. It is going great and they are offering tons of support with Noa (especially given that I have been battling a stomach bug for the last few days--not fun!)It is just that if I don't actively remind myself, it feel like I am a single mom on the lam or something, hiding out in the small rural town where I grew up.

Anyhoo, here are some quick shots of Noa for your enjoyment. I will write more later.

Catching up.......................

We have had a busy few weeks. Not only are we in the midst of packing and saying goodbyes, which is crazy enough, but as you can see, Noa has had a lot on her plate.


Noa spent some quality time with Nana...........

She had a low-key, non-religious, no-pressure, zero-expectation, only-mildly embarassing Easter.................




She had her last visit with her pediatrician, Dr. Shawnda Johnson. She rocks and Noa loves her............. Noa gained two pounds since her last visit!



Noa and Mommy liked looking at the elephants at the Oakland Zoo.......................


We had a goodbye party and her friend Miriam read her the gift she brought for Noa--the book, Toot and Puddle.


She had a great time at the party with her Auntie Sara.............


She chilled on the couch with Lily and Rhys



She learned how to clap-she is a natural................

We're still here, I promise.

Ugh, there is so much going on. Noa and I leave for Michigan on Sunday morning. There is a lot to get done, and a lot of people to see. It has been impossible to find time to update the blog, and on top of all of that, our photo card reader is acting funky, so I haven't been able to upload any pics or video to share.

Rest assured, we are getting some great footage of Noa. Trust me. In the meantime, here is a picture of Noa's new shoes.


Cute, huh?

More later.........................
