Life is good.

So Grammy and Pop (aka Mom and Dad) left on Friday. We were super sad to say goodbye. I cried like a baby on Thursday and Friday. It's been hard being away from family since we moved here, but it was much harder to say goodbye now with Noah here. Now it seems so real that our family is so far away..Brad's parents are 10 hours away, mine are 17, so we have quite the hike to see either side. It was so amazing to have them both here though! To have both sets of our parents here to spend time together with the baby boy was so special!

Anyways..so Noah has thankfully been an amazingly content baby...it's amazing. However, on the day Mom and Dad left we had our first rough night. Go figure. He was perfect all day..we came home from the airport..and I snuggled him and cried and he made it all better of course. Then we took a nap together which was awesome. But then...daddy got home and we ate dinner together and then poor Noah couldn't get settled. His little belly must have been upset, and he cried and cried. It made me so very sad. Then I cried again because I couldn't make the sweet boy feel better. We made it through, obviously, but poor Brad must have thought I was crazy. By Saturday our little man was back to himself. It made me feel better because I thought I had done something wrong.

Sarah got in yesterday! We're so glad she could come! She's had some quality cuddle time with Noah and he LOVES it! Operation Make Sarah LOVE Austin has started..and we think it's been pretty successful thus far. Last night we took her for some Homeslice Pizza (delicious!) and our very first Hey Cupcake! AMAZING! Today there was a kite festival here in Austin..so we went down there with Aaron and Shauna after church. It was a GORGEOUS day! We came home and Brad, Noah, and I took 2 hour nap, and sweet Sarah made dinner for us. We're so thankful for family!

Now for our newest pictures!
