i forgot to tell you!

wowzas!!!

we're having a GREAT time!

we left thursday night for our vacation! we've been all over the OuterBanks...we have seen two lighthouses, the house that was used in Nights in Rodanthe, and some crazy waves caused by Hurricane Bill!! it's been a great vacation so far.

we are in Washington D.C. since yesterday. we drove alllllllll day yesterday...literally! we left OBX at 8:30 and finally arrived at our condo at 3:30 (we were supposed to get there by 12 or 1) then we drove all around downtown dc seeing the sights (and trying to find a parking spot!) we finally made it to dinner at the ESPN Zone restaurant, which was pretty good. it was jessica's request since it was her 25th birthday!! :) we all had a great time walking around downtown and just looking at all of the monuments. 

here are some pictures from our trip so far!

Five Generations!

At my parent's 25th wedding anniversary party, we got the chance to take a 5 generation picture!! Thats my Granny Cagle, my Papa Ron Cagle, my daddy Keith Cagle, me, and noah :) what's really cool is that papa, dad, and noah are all first born sons :) and i am also a firstborn! we thought that was pretty neat! Noah has such a great heritage, both on my side as well as Jamie's side. he is so blessed to have two sets of grandparents, great grandparents, and even a great-great grandmother still living!! 

was that really just one year ago??!!

noah is 10 months tomorrow! he is getting to be such a big kid!! he is still up playing in the living room...just talking away!! he yells and grunts and makes he funniest noises! 

we are leaving for vacation tomorrow...Outerbanks, NC and Washington D.C. 

noah is currently trying to unpack our suitcases :) 

i loved being pregnant. i loved the way my body looked (for the most part) and i just loved being able to feel noah kick and move and knowing that i was growing a precious little boy :)

it's so hard to believe that he will be a year old soon! 

well it's time to get him to bed..so nighty night
