Where have you been?

I know, I know, you say "John, are you ever going to post more pictures on the blog?" Well you see, things have been a bit busy around here. I won't bore you with my excuses, just know that I haven't forgotten about my blog. I've just been shamefully neglecting it while I take care of some other items...

So onto the good stuff. Norah. These shots are from various dates over the past 2 - 3 months. But the zoo pictures are from this last Memorial Day Weekend. Norah soaked up every minute of her first zoo experience!

Gimme that cake!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NORAH!!!

a BIG thanks to Grandpa Z for taking the video!

Norah's Party Day

Today is Norah's 1st birthday party, and I was getting my camera stuff ready when I found some pictures on my card that never made it to the computer. Here's one of them, I'm sure there will be pictures soon from the party later today too. I know I haven't posted any pictures in a while, hopefully that will change. This picture was taken the day I had to stay home with Norah because she'd come down with Croup again. She was really warm so we stripped her down to her diaper and let her have at the diaper basket... She had a very good time as you can see.

Catching Up

You know it's been a long time since you've posted pictures on your blog when it almost took you longer to remember your login information than it does to post your pictures... Here are a few pictures from Christmas and New Years of you know who. I have some pictures of other folks on New Years, that I don't think they'd appreciate. Maybe we'll save those for another time.

Merry Christmas

It's been a mad rush to get everything done around the house before the big day tomorrow, and there've been a couple of near heart attacks from shoveling wet frozen snow this morning... How does the snow blower know to die right before the worst storms in recent history? They'll never tell.


Anyways, this last weekend I took "a few" pictures of Norah for her 9 month picture. I borrowed a few things from my Dad and we had a nice little studio set up right here at home! It was a lot of fun for me, I hope Norah enjoyed herself too. Lauri wanted to print it out before everyone came over tomorrow so I figured, since I have it, I might as well post it. So here's a sneak peak of our big girl...

And by the way, if you're still reading this, I hope you and yours are as happy as me and mine this Christmas Season (Chanukah too Ari).

God Bless.

John, Lauri, and Norah

Norah meets Santa!

We took Norah to see Santa on Sunday, here are a few videos. I'd forgotten my video camera (me forget? Imagine that...) So we stopped at my parents house and grabbed my Dad's point and shoot with Video capability. You can see that Norah was a little apprehensive about that Santa fella, what the video doesn't show is captured in the picture...

She was fine after I grabbed her, and on the way home she was VERY slap happy. Check it out.

Before she realized what was happening

After...

Where does the time go?

So I sat down and started typing out this blog post and it started something like this, " if time flies, it takes off at jet speed when you have kids..." Then Lauri popped in and laughed at me saying "That's exactly how you started your last post!" Of course I wouldn't believe her until I saw it with my own eyes, and as usual she was right.


So rather than repeat myself, I'll just get to the good stuff, pictures of Norah. Most of these pictures are from our Thanksgiving Dinners, but there are also some good Bribery pictures for when Norah's say 16 or 17 years old... Bath time Mohawk pictures!


We've had our christmas tree up for a little while now, Norah is absolutely infatuated!

She's quite the little rolly polly these days. Sooo close to crawling too...

Thanksgiving at Great-Grandma Decker's House

Thanksgiving Dinner at Grandma and Grandpa Zabor's

Sorry Lindsey, you were the only one with your eyes closed in this one. The other shot caught a few people off gaurd...

Grandpa Z's idea of a pain killer for a teething Norah (yes there's a top on the bottle... C'mon people)

Can you tell which new Beyonce song Lauri and Norah like to dance to?
