I've been trying to upload some videos of Noelle from her birthday party but it seems that the files are just too large for blogger to handle. Sigh, it's a real shame.
Anyhoo....so the kids and I are up in Hanford right now visiting with my sister Danni while Marco is back in San Diego getting ready to fly out to Albania tomorrow to visit his family for two weeks!! Fun times. We'll miss you baby!! -we already do. :(

You Know Better Than I

This song is all mine right now....fits my thoughts and feelings perfectly.

You Know Better Than I - David Campbell

I thought I did what's right
I thought I had the answers
I thought I chose the surest road
But that road brought me here

So I put up a fight
And told you how to help me
Now just when I have given up
The truth is coming clear

You know better than I
You know the way
I've let go the need to know why
For you know better than I

If this has been a test
I cannot see the reason
But maybe knowing I don't know
Is part of getting through
I try to do what's best
And faith has made it easy
To see the best thing I can do
Is put my trust in you

For You know better than I
You know the way
I've let go the need to know why
For you know better than I

I saw one cloud and thought it was a sky
I saw a bird and thought that I could follow
But it was you who taught that bird to fly
If I let you reach me will you teach me

For You know better than I
You know the way
I'll take what answers you supply
You know better than I

Homeschoolers day at Sea World!

The last thing we saw right before we left were the Penguins - Dean's favorite part of Sea World. At the end of the penguin exhibit they had a whole gift shop of penguin stuff and as you can imagine Dean went crazy in there....he loved and wanted them all. :)

Noelle - 9 months

2009-03-11T18:41:00.001-07:00

Noelle went for her nine month check-up the other day.
She weighs 22lbs. and is 28in. long.

She's started eating more and loves foods that she can pick-up by herself. She crawls all over the place. She loves to smile and have people pay attention to her. She loves babbling to herself and all things girly.
