The Pool Genes Strike Fast

I went to shave my head for the week last night, and found there was a little less to shave.
The widow's peak forming.
The hairline is dropping back.  Andy D, you know what I'm talking about.
And further back.
And the two sides made the turn, forming the island.
Leaving me with a solid horseshoe pattern.  
Fortunately, Grandad taught us how to rock a bald head.
Noey likes the new look.  It's supposed to be the mother's father that controls the baldness in the family.  That means that either Matt or myself will be bald someday.  I'm pretty sure it'll be Matt.  Three more weeks until hair again for me.

Easter Day

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter everyone! May we all reflect on the sacrifice Jesus made for us, and His resurrection.

And here are some more pictures of our little blessing enjoying an egg-less egg hunt. It was fun anyway.

Our fun neighbors we hang out with.

Riding a horse for the first time...and loving it!  She is taking after her mama already!

Taking a shoulder ride around the room with Daddy. 

Happy Birthday Noelle

I can't believe Noelle is 1 already...that went by fast! What a blessing you are to us Noelle Rae. We are excited for the years to come.

Here are some photos of our fun day together:

First: to the park with Izzy

Check out my very first tooth!

And I have a new skill as of this week...."free" standing.

And Then: to the pet shop

And Then: to the yogurt shop

And to end the day...birthday cake with Daddy!

The "touch"...one of Noelle's new favorite activities. She likes to touch her index finger to someone else's.
And at last...Mimi and Papa sing "Happy Birthday" over the phone to the Birthday Girl. It is their family tradition.

And...I think Adam loves this. Just a week ago Noelle decided to cuddle with her daddy for the first time ever! Tonight I was trying to take her to bed and she reached out for Adam and cried. Woo Hoo! Now she can't get enough of him. I think she would have let Adam hold her all night. She is such a sweet girl. Being a parent is amazing...it just keeps getting better and better.

And the birthday banner.

Welcome Baby Lena Faith!

We are so excited that Matt and Amy's baby is here! Great job you two. She is a beautiful little girl.
