Noah's visit

We had a great visit when Noah was here on Friday. I had sent Doug to the store to get Noah a John Deere tractor (which he didn't yet have in his collection) and a balloon as a gift - "from baby Abby". It was so great to see him and get BIG hugs, it seemed like he grew up SO much!!! Oh my goodness. Anyways, we had the little tractor in her bed and said that baby Abby had a present for him. He was thrilled with the tractor, and he remembers who gave him all of his different tractors and trucks - so this one will always be from baby Abby. (We didn't get any great pictures of him by the bedside, but you can be sure that there will be tons of Noah and Abigail pictures once we get home! Here is a picture (courtesy of Papa) of Noah on an actual tractor.


They were only allowed to stay for 10 minutes, so then we all went to lunch. Noah wanted to sit on my lap or Doug's lap the whole time. He was a very good boy when he stayed with my parents, but I think he did learn that he could get a way with a bit more at Grandma and Papa's house. SO - Doug had to take him out of the restaurant for a little change in attitude, and he came back in a much happier boy! :-) When he got back inside, I told him in an excited tone that we were going to have "boot camp" when we got back home!! He responded: "Boot Camp!!", as if he were in for a great treat. Doug said he has been doing very very well, and although he has been asking about Mommy a lot, he has been having lot's of fun with Daddy. Here is a picture of Noah looking at a picture of Abigail when the boys were on there way home.
