Eoin's Birthday Party

We had the man's party at Imagine Nation in Bristol, CT. Fun time...aside from the fire alarm which kicked us all out in the cold for ~15 minutes.

Since it is in Bristol (Home of ESPN) they have a complete Sportscenter set where kids can get on camera and read highlights. Eoin just enjoyed running through the clear carwash-type doors (he may not be cut out for an on air personality yet...)



They also have this cool bubble thing. Not possible to explain it so check out Annie and Dede in the bubble!

Devyn is crawling!

We enter a whole new world at the Noonan house with 2 mobile children (plus a dog and Brian). It only took Eoin about 30 seconds to pry those engines from Devyn's hands too...

Eoin's Michael Jackson Tribute

I told him he was eating vegetables...he filled in the rest:

Noonan's Meet the Kimmel's

Annie and I took the kids up to Boston to see Uncle Jeff and Aunt Kristen. We hit up the Aquarium which was an awesome time. Eoin did NOT want to leave the penguin's!

From New Album 12/6/09 7:50 PM



Mommy and Devyn also really enjoyed the penguins.

From New Album 12/6/09 7:50 PM


We did eventually pry him away. I'm not sure who was more impressed by the shark and turtle in the center tank...Eoin or Jeffrey. While it was alittle brisk we checked out the Fur Seals outside too.

THOMAS!

So we took Eoin, Devyn, and our nephew Bryan Patrick to see Thomas the Train today. This could have gone two ways...either Eoin would LOVE it and have a blast or he would be terrified and we would have to drag him kicking and screaming onto the train. Guess which we got?

Halloween Photo Shoot

Eoin is sick and Devyn is starting to sit up (with help) and ALMOST crawl. Scary times ahead with two mobile children (4 if you count Brian and Walnut).

Here are some photos from our recent Halloween photo shoot.

Eoin is going through his "Minimalist" Phase...

But then again don't they all? Eoin brought this find bit of art home from daycare yesterday. I really enjoy his use of white space and the minimalistic approach he has taken...

Fall is HERE!

We had a great weekend here in the Noonan house. Grandma and Meme (my Aunt Debbie) came down on Friday to watch the little ones while Annie and I went to dinner up at the lake. We dominate the raffle (an Italian theme basket, a photo printer, and a hand made sofa table.)

Saturday we went to Karabin farms and took Eoin and Devyn on a hayride, picked out pumpkins in a pumpkin patch, and enjoyed some apples, apple cider, and strawberry rhubarb pie (thanks Aunt Deb!)

Laughing Devyn Elizabeth Noonan

All is well in Noonan-land. We are all battling colds but believe it or not fall is almost here so I guess that is to be expected. Here's a video of Devyn REALLY enjoying her full diaper...

CHEERS!

Eoin learned how to "Cheers!" today:

From New Album 9/1/09 12:41 PM


Of course he tries to "Cheers!" with EVERYTHING...cups, forks, fruit, toys, etc.

We cleaned out the bouncey seat for Devyn...and Eoin hijacked it:

Devyn also got a turn eventually and she seemed to enjoy it as well.

For those about to rock...

Eoin salutes you!

Eoin LOVES AC/DC...and seriously who doesn't? Here's a quick video of him showing off his moves. It's kinda like a cross between flash dance & Elvis.

Devyn's first trip to the track...

was a few weeks ago. We went again this weekend for the Travers. It was a muddy mess...and NONE of my horses came in (Annie hit 2 exacta's with her picks by name the night before...)

Here is some video of Devyn's REAL first trip to the track:

Eoin's first photos...

No...not the first photos of Eoin...but the first photos he took with a camera. If you give him a piece of electronics he will change modes and settings that you never new existed. Here is his artistic view of the world.

Me with Devyn...and some famous people

So the first shot below is of our little girl Devyn (or Dede as Eoin calls her.) At her 4 month Dr.'s appointment she was in the 45% for weight but the 75% for height...we grow them TALL in this family. Check out those big baby blues (unless you are a boy...then don't even think about looking at my daughter.)

A few weekends ago Annie and I got to spend a night at Mohegan Sun for the Jim Calhoun Celebrity Gala to raise money for the cardiac group at the Uconn Medical center. It was pretty cool as there were lots of famous sports celebrities...and some punk Uconn players. Here's a phot of me and some guys from work with Jim and Travis Knight...he's the taller one...

All I want for Christmas...

So if you haven't heard...Eoin knocked out his two front teeth about a month ago. For you Burnt Hills faithful he showed "true grit" diving for a toy in the living room...and leaving half of both his front teeth in the laminate floor. The dents are still there...

He had to have the other half pulled at the children's hospital. He didn't enjoy that but the Novocaine had a calming effect on him (see the second picture below). Kids are amazing through...he is none the worse for wear...and talking up a storm! Hopefully some good videos to follow shortly.

Christening and other Excitment

So what have we been up to? Eoin learned to read (not really), Devyn was christened, and the Rodfather was REALLY excited about it...see what I mean?

So hopefully you all got BOTH of your announcements of Devyn's arrival...We used this awesome service to make these cool personalized cards and they sent two to everyone. Here are some candids from the photo shoot for the card...

We all enjoyed a nice long weekend at Webster Lake or Lake Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg. Eoin and his cousin Emma woke everyone up with a rousing version of the Hawaii 5-0 theme and they also enjoyed some time in the sand...

New Devyn pics...

Devyn has had her first bath...and become the first Noonan child to poop in the tub. Gotta love the new Ducky thing to prevent embarrassing - "oooh, look at you naked in the tub" pictures flashbacks when you're a teenager.

From New Album 5/7/09 7:27 PM


To stick with the pooping theme Devyn has completely pooped through this outfit which "makes me smile" every time I put it on her.

Here she is pushing away the paparazzi (Daddy)

To hopefully mitigate any sibling issues (and because this is "Adventures of the Noonans" blog not "Adventures of Devyn" blog here is a quick shot of Eoin and Daddy hard at work designing a new gate for the stairs.

Devyn is driving Eoin to Drink!

Sorry for the long delay for a second Devyn update. It's alot harder to find time when TWO kids are sleeping and you are not so tired you're hallucinating.

Devyn is doing great, back up to her birth weight at her last Dr's appointment (and still growing.) Eoin is doing great with his little sister giving her good night hugs. We though everything was going great until we found Eoin double fisting the sauce (or milk)...

So far so good!

The first week with our newest addition went great. Annie and I have spent our fair share of time awake between 1 am to 6 am (a time I have only otherwise seen during college and when Eoin was born...thank God for DVR.) Last night Devyn slept from 2 am to 7 am (with 2 feedings in there) so hopefully that is signs of things to come.

We've had alot of visitors who we cant thank enough for their generosity of food, gifts...and more food! Here are some pics of what we've been up to:
