Tuesday

We started our day with the boys, Dad, grandma and Grandad back home with a nice skype session. You all look great! Noelle loves watching them do silly things and was leaning in to give each of them each kisses on the computer screen. Nice game pitching Kyle...wish I could have seen it! Ryan I'm so glad you found your lost silly bandz and Sean...no gum after you've brushed your teeth for the 3rd time at night haha :) I love you all.

We had breakfast with Sean's Flat Stanley and our new Barbie then took a walk by the river and hit the shops a bit. It was breezy and a bit cloudy and cooler today so we didn't go in the pool. Hopefully tomorrow.

Tonight we went out with the whole group to a nice Italian restaurant. Noelle had potato soup, pizza and a little bit of spaghetti (as well as the standard cheerios and ritz crackers). She had lots of fun playing peekaboo with Mae and Mae's Dad and Grandmothers. We just got home a few minutes ago and she is exhausted so we'll be turning in. We are having a nice little vacation with lots of mother~daughter bonding. It is so nice to finally have our girl. I'm not used to having so much uninterrupted one on one time and I have to say it is wonderful. I think it is very good for Noelle too that we have this time together. I'm wondering how she will feel about sharing my attention w/ her 3 brothers at first. I know she'll get used to the commotion at our house. She'll add a missing spark to it too!

Tomorrow we'll be taking the group and family pictures on the famous "red couch" here at the White Swan hotel. There will be some funny and cute shots for sure. Noelle will wear her new outfit and sandals we got today at Jenny's Place. Then we are going on a dinner cruise with all the families. We send our love to you all.....can't wait to come home! Love, Katy and Noelle
