We even visited an historic jailhouse. Noelle was not too excited about the idea of us leaving her in jail though!

Here are some scenic things of what we did and saw. Willmington and Southport are cool (well, temperature-wise, they can be quite hot) places to visit!

Noelle and Belle got along great! It was quite entertaining watching Noelle growl, chase, squish and squeal Belle around all week! Belle is really great with Noelle. Very attached to the whole family!

We went to the aquarium in Wilmington. It was a lot of fun watching Noelle's reactions to things.

Then... I visited Holly, Phil, Noelle and Bell in North Carolina. I really think I need to move down there someday!! We did many things down there. We all got sunburned (except Bell) when we went to the beach on memorial day. We even put sunblock on!

Then, a couple saturdays ago, we had a going away picnic for Eric (my brother-in- law deploying to Iraq). I just realized today that I got only pictures of the nieces and a few others, but none of Eric. They were throwing the volleyball around and the fast flowing stream "stole" it from them. Zach thankfully "saved" it.

Next, everyone can say good bye to my bike. Unfortunately I never got a picture of myself on it (kind of a hard task when you are by yourself). I have decided to get a different kind, probably next year. Maybe even a scooter, we will see. Can't let the license and helmet go to waste.

First of all, to catch up with the times, I must post pictures of my newest niece, Maleah. Her cousin Anna does not know quite what to do with her though.
