January 2009 - Fun Family time and Waiting

January is here and we are waiting for our Nora to come. Naomi continues to learn and say new words everyday. She is starting to make 3 and 4 word sentences. Her new favorite phrase is "I want to cry." Then she fake cries. It's kind of funny.

We have been tremendously blessed with a couple letting us use some baby things while we are in the States. Naomi goes around the house and calls these items "baby Nora's." She will give Nora kisses and sometimes pats my belly at night to tell her "nite-nite."

On New Year's Day we went to see Pappa. Naomi wouldn't sit still (imagine that) on Pappa's lap for a good photo, but we got one with her in the wheelchair next to him.

A pretty impressive fountain that has continued to run in the winter, causing it to become an ice fountain.

Aunt Natalie came up the weekend of the 17th to spend some time with us. She was hoping that Nora would come this weekend. Sorry Natalie, we all wanted her to come. Aunt Natalie had to go back to Branson.
Here is Aunt Natalie and Naomi hanging out and having some fun.
