Venturing out into the Real World



Yesterday, about halfway through my morning feeding, I decided we needed to get out of the house.   So Jesse and I packed up Noah and headed down to the local coffee shop...unfortunately, it was too busy, so we ended up at Starbuck's.   In any case, I think Noah really enjoyed his time out in the public.   Mostly, I think he liked the sounds of everything going on around him.    And Mom and Dad really appreciated getting out into things again and spending some good quality time together.   

We did all need a nap afterwards...but it was worth it.

Today, Noah made his first trip to church today.   He was announced as the youngest parishioner of Holy Family.  Fortunately for us, he was well behaved(mostly because he was asleep the entire time).   But everybody loves a newborn baby!!   Father Bob gave Noah and our family a blessing.   We felt nourished in the soul.

Daddy, Dugan and Noah look like a very comfortable trio. LOVE the shot of Noah on the rug all by himself, he looks so comfortable and tiny at the same time! Enjoy these times, you will never get them back. Jeanne and James

Hi Sara! Love the pics and the updates. He is such a little cutie. I have to say, too that it is really nice to read your blog and just get some kind of idea of what we will be going through in just a few weeks now. Congrats on getting out into the world, too - that must have been an exciting adventure. :-) Miss you in the class - I am now the furthest along, as Jenna and Danielle have had their little ones. Hope to talk or maybe even visit soon???
