A wedding in Mexico

A wedding in Mexico

February is filled with activities for our family.
We all got to escape Wisconsin weather to a special valentine's celebration in Rivera Maya, Mexico. Joel did pretty well with his first plane trip. DVD came in handy for Noah.
Once in Mexico, the kids really enjoyed themselves. Noah discovered swim-up bar concept and really loves Strawberry Daiquiri (no alcohol, of course). Nah Nit and Uncle Trip was happily married at the beach, sunset ceremony. Lots of happy tears. Mommy and Daddy soaked up the sunshine...although Daddy, may be a bit too much sans sunscreen.

Visit to St.Louis

St. Louis Jan 09

Joel enjoyed his first car trip down south with a trip to St. Louis this past January.
The occasion was Nah Nit's bridal shower.
We all stayed at Nah Oy and Dr. Sawat's house. It was like a 5-star accomodation!
St. Louis actually is quite pretty. We all enjoyed the warm weather as well.
Noah got to meet lots of friends, Dillon, since we stayed with his grandparents and of course, the infamous Will, Hall and little Katy-Uncle Trip's nephews and niece.
We all got back without any major incidents.

Brotherly Love

Brotherly love

The new year is flying right by.
The brothers are getting to be even closer.
Noah really takes on the big brother role of trying to always help taking care of Joel. Kelly says that he is this way at her house, too.
Joel just beems when he sees Noah. Even if it is in the morning, when Noah bounces in the room loudly and wakes Joel. Joel is most curious about his brother's long hair. It's amazing how it's such a natural bond that they have for each other.
Joel is now 6 months and Noah is almost 2 1/2 years old!
