Ramblings of a Woodbutcher

Ahh attack by the killer crab!

What did I get for my birthday under this big blanket!

Train table!

Birthday chow

end of birthdays, but Norah still thinks she needs a hat.

Balancing her cool new light jar

Ohh birthday party decorations! Thanks Sebastian!

Party girls!

Thanks Grandpa & Grandpa for the gifts, Norah loves them...although I don't think they were intended for her

Ventured to Cincy for a day or two, but no visiting due to sickness, but we did grace the zoo with our presence before realizing we were sick.

This sequence cracks me up!

After coming home Norah had our Christmas.
What's this?

Trampoline!

She likes to get out of the bath and put this towel around her and say she's a pretty lady. She's so cute...

...and tuff!

Playing with our old toy bucket and her favorite toys; Woody and Buzz

FINALLY! and on with the show...

made it to Disney and Norah immediately warmed up to Pops. Now it's time to surprise the rest of the family.

See them waaay over there? SURPRISE!

off to the safari and Norah found her place on Uncle Ben's lap.

we saw huge horned cattle

Hi Samborambo!

the guide said these guys were pretty rare and almost extinct.

we even had rhinos blocking our path. How cool is that?

Snuggle time, while Sammie sniffs out an opportunity...

DRUMS!

Niece snuggles.

Nieces playing.

Nieces tickling.

awww isn't that cute.

time at the coolest sand box you will ever see, Norah keep your shoes on (thanks for the pic Pops)

a long day first day and tuckered out

partied at night at the German haus

after a quick nap, it's time for Halloween! (Norah's sleeves and pants had to be cut since it was sweltering hot at 7pm) Han and Ewok.

snuggles before the bus ride

The whole Star Wars clan!

R2D2 on the slide...

and her sidekick Ewok!

run away, run away, run away (Norah had a tendency to wait until you weren't watching and then run away as fast as she could. She did this many many times)

aaahhh

then she resorted to crawling away

Hi guys!

Sammie and friends joined the fun.

Eating time for all!

Good Morning Pops and Norah!

Waiting for the buses.

Fruit bats. So neat.

This bird (Sarus Crane) no joke was over 6 feet tall, and really loud. It sounded like a dinosaur. It's reported to be the tallest flying bird in the world.
