I think Kris and Noah are finally on the mend. It has been a pretty miserable last few days here at the Butler house and I'm so glad that we seem to be coming to an end of the ick (for at least Noah and Kris). I'm trying to convince my body that it really ISN'T coming down with the same thing, but I might be losing the battle - I really hope not.

Anyway, I'm finally able to find a few moments to post some pictures I've taken over the last few days. The weather has been fantastic and we've played outside quite a bit. In the first set of pictures you will see what a little helper Noah is becoming. He loves to be a part of any chore I'm doing, weather it is making muffins, putting away books, putting trash into the trashcan, or sweeping.
















In this second set of pictures, you can see what a little dare-devil and climber Noah is. I bought this green tub for him to put his blocks in, but it wasn't on the floor for more than 2 minutes before he found another use for it. Actually, he found several uses for it. I probably should have made him get down, but the pictures were so good, it was hard to resist. And he is SO proud of himself when he figures out a way to do something all by himself.

















































































Finally for tonight, here is a series of pictures of Noah and his watering can. This was so amazingly cute. He watered plants, the deck, his shadow, the cats, the chairs, himself, me, and most of the toys he had outside. He had a blast! I can't tell you how much fun it is to be around him. His laugh is infectious and his smile melts my heart. I hope you enjoy these pictures and videos.
