Noah’s First Birthday Party

Monday, April 21st, 2008

We had Noah’s first birthday party last Saturday (his bday is the 25th), and had a great time. Jo’s sisters & their kids came, and all four of Noah’s grandparents. It was so wonderful having them all there to share the special occasion.
Which is not to say that Noah’s Aunts & Uncles Nathan, Cori, Tim, […]

Kauai Vacation, Part 1

Monday, March 31st, 2008

We’re having an unbelievable time so far. After 4 hrs sleep on Friday night, we made it to Kauai and got to hang out with Nick & Rachael the first couple nights. Today we adventured separately, finding a pair of fun places to explore, only one of which was trespassing (we found out as we […]

Happy Easter

Monday, March 24th, 2008

We started off the day by listening to Keith Green’s Easter Song really loud. Seventies piano rock at its finest. We could almost hear the bells ringing. The day before, we had a nice little hunt in our back yard.

Noah and cousin Abby chill out while CJ hunts for eggs.

Noah is Standing

Wednesday, March 19th, 2008

He’s pulling himself up on everything in sight. This gate keeps him from his favorite crawling destination: splashing in Fairbanks’ water bowl.

Andrew Byron Has Arrived

Friday, February 8th, 2008

Our nephew was born today! Andrew “Drew” Byron VanderBeek was born to my brother Nathan and his wife Cori, their first. We are super excited, and can’t wait to meet him.

So I guess “Optimus Prime Bobby Jackson” was ruled out. Oh well, they can use that name on their next kid. But I’m thinking they […]

Pre-departure

Friday, September 21st, 2007

Last night Noah went six hours without eating, which was a complete miracle. Prior to that he had gone 4 hours maybe twice. Hope it’s an indicator of things to come.
One more week in Long Beach. Today was Noah’s first rain. Though he’ll get a lot more up north than he ever would down here.

Photos of our house

Friday, August 31st, 2007

We are super excited to make the trek up the state in just 4 weeks to move into our new house. Special amazing thanks to my parents for helping us make this reality. Any ideas on what to do with the crazy overgrown front yard are much appreciated.

View bigger versions of the photos (order prints, etc.)Noah just had his vaccinations, and it went well. At seven weeks he was 12 lbs 2 oz, 75% percentile in height, weight, and head size. And he’s smiling at us more and more.
