When ever Mommy walks by I love to rub her belly. "The baby is sure getting big eh Mom?"
Mommy is almost 30 weeks! Just a little over 2 months to go!! The baby will be here before we know it!! We are so excited to meet our little sister (or possibly brother)!
Great news is that Noel is finally walking too. He started walking a couple of days before Mom and Dad came back from their cruise. He was already doing 6 or 7 steps, so at least they didn't have to miss that! His vocabulary is growing too. It's so cute to hear his attempts at words... he says Tiko for Nico, so I think that's pretty cute. Mom and Dad think it's pretty cute when I ask Noel to say words. Noel loves to help out with the dishes too. The further he can get into the sink the better. He is a water fanatic. Just like me I guess. I taught him all he needs to know!! ;o) 
Noel is still crazy about cars, so when Daddy set up my new race-track, we were so excited. Noel loves to stand there and make the cars zoom around a hundred times. I don't think he will ever be tired of it! When we are a little older then Daddy will add all the other parts of the track.
Uncle Andy was here this w/e so, we had lots of fun with him.. I kept saying that Aunty Andy was coming.. He thought that was pretty funny.
Well, it's been some time since we've been back from our 5 year Anniversary Honeymoon now. The time just slips by.
The ship in the background with me on the beach, and the inside of the ship. There was a grand staircase with 4 glass elevators to the 13 floors.
We attended the Marriage Seminars put on by Family Life, and were able to stop at four different ports along the Mexican coast. The conference was refreshing and had so many neat insights to our marriage. Swimming in the Ocean was amazing, and we were able to go snorkeling in Cabo San Lucas with my family. Dennis below, pretty much engulfed by the waves.
The ship had 2,800 passengers, not including the numerous staff. Apparently Norwiegan Cruise Lines is coming out with a bigger ship in 2008 that takes on 5,000 passengers. I think the 2,800 passenger one was large enough! The food was incredible and wow, could you ever eat there! I am pretty sure I was almost ready to roll home. Our baby probably gained a couple of pounds in only 8 days!! The boys stayed home with Opa and Oma Van Ee and had a blast there, (Thank you so much again!!) Opa even made a special little partition wall and cubicle rooms, decked out with a little bed for Nicolaas. So cute! They didn't miss us too much. I am sure I missed them more. But I knew they were in good hands. Below: My sister Joella and her husband Brad were also with us.
