She Must Have Been a Farmer in a Past Life

We visited the Children's Farmyard at Shelburne Farms on Saturday. It was a real thrill to meet and touch (gently) some of the farm animals. We saw chickens, sheep and lambs, goats and the newborn piglets! Nora was so interested in all of the animals and when she was observing the piglets a woman next to us commented that Nora "must have been a farmer in a past life".

Gentle, gentle.

*I just think this goat is particularly interesting.
PS Kris took these photos with his new PDA (we forgot our camera). That's why they're not as sharp.

There's a New Baby in Town!

My cousin Carrie had a baby on Tuesday night so Nora and I went to meet the baby this afternoon. Nora and I think he is very cute! Here's a picture of Carrie and her little boy.

Happy Mother's Day!

This Mother's Day we:

examined blades of grass while keeping the sun out of our eyes, played bocce ball,
crawled around like crazy and then...
passed out with our cousin, Ava.

A Double Dose (or What's So Funny?)

This is for all of The Noodle's fans. I received an email today from a friend wanting "more Noodle" so (Beth) here you go!

She Moves Fast!

It's been awhile since I last posted an entry and there are good reasons why. The main reason is that The Noodle crawls faster each day and I spend a fair portion of my day trying to keep up - no time to blog!
