The Next American Idol

It didn't take long for Norah to discover Noah's piano --La, la la la...It's so funny to hear Norah "sing" "Can you hear me? LA LA LA, lala la!"

Strong National Museum of Play

Friday, April 17th, we were all healthy - and made it to Rochester to the Museum of Play. We originally were going to do this with Noah over Christmas break, but then discovered he was extremely sick. What fun we had!Soon after you enter, there were beautiful aquariums that quickly caught Noah's attention.Yay, music stuff!Noah enjoyed grocery shopping in the "Kids Wegmans."We also did the Butterfly Conservatory - Noah enjoyed that, too - Jeff & I thought it was WAY too hot, although the butterflies were beautiful.

Noah's first time on a carousel - what a blast!

Noah was exhausted when we left to head back towards Buffalo, to Jeff's parent's house. We treated Noah to Ted's for dinner - what a fun day with our little man.

Say, "Easter Egg!"

Getting the perfect Easter picture was nearly impossible. Noah was much more interested in our vacuum attachment. So, he gave up the attachment, but wasn't too happy about it. Take #10... Take number...I lost count, 25?There, this might work. Take #30 or so.Noah finally agreed to "sorta pose" before heading to church.

Norah dressed for Church

Norah was dressed for church, but when left to her own - she wasn't done inspecting the eggs:

Norah's Delight

Norah enjoyed her bird's eye view of the egg hunt, initially...Until she got down & realized she could suck on a rainbow of eggs....

Let the Hunt Begin

Saturday, the 11th, we took Noah to his first Community Easter Egg Hunt. He was pretty excited - too bad we didn't get more pictures.Easter morning, however, the camera was ready & Noah woke up, looked down the stairway & said, "Whoa - I found one!" It was priceless.Eggs, eggs everywhere.Intermission: "I do bug eyes, Mama!"And...Daddy does bug eyes, too.It was so fun watching Noah gather all the eggs that were scattered about the house.We had placed nickles, dimes, and quarters in the eggs so he could fill his monkey bank.Proud of his collection.

A New Bathroom

I'm finally getting around to posting pics of our big construction project. We're getting a new bathroom. This is a picture looking down the hallway - the closed door was a big, walk-in storage closet... the door to the right is currently our nasty, pink half-bath.The wall between the closet & 1/2 bath is getting taken down, making room for a shower...Yep. A pink 1/2 bath. I hate it...right down to the pink linoleum.

Nasty wallpaper has to go, too.

I saved some of the old fixtures, because I think they are cute.

Yeh. Pink sink. *gag* All getting ripped out.

Pictures of the demolition soon to come...
