Nog+Chog

The past few days, Charlie has ran a fever, and kept both mom and dad up all night, as he had a little bug. But on a normal day, both my kids are usually the happiest kids in the world! And this is what they look like, when times aren’t so tough.

Norah makes her debut on youTube courtesy of Oreo. This was literally her FIRST oreo cookie.

There is also a still photo of both Norah and mom, displayed periodically in the fake camera. Check it out when you have time!

Yep…this is pathetic that I’m posting this so late.
Back in March, we had Ryan’s old roommates from our days at Iowa State over for some chili and beer. Joe and Tracee (on the right) have 3 kids, AJ, and their twin daughters, Marisa and Morgan. And Kevin and his fiance Tracey, (on the left) are getting married this SATURDAY! CONGRATS! And Ryan will be performing the ceremony, as he’s an ordained minister. We look forward to this weekend, and catching up with college friends!

Back in early May, we said a “temporary” farewell to the Long family. They lived in our sister bldg and have 2 young kids, Kaya and Ashwin. Eric’s job has sent them to live in Singapore for the next 2-4 yrs. We miss you all terribly and hope that you are settling into your new life there.
They had their last “hoorah” at the Garfield Park Conservatory. It was such a cold day outside (for May) but so beautiful inside. We highly recommend it, as it’s open all year, and FREE. There are a couple other photos of 2 other little boys that we knew there at the party. AJ is the son of our neighbor’s Kristen and Andy. Their blog is linked on the side under “The Holub Times” and AJ is about 6 wks older than Charlie. The other little boy is Louie, and he is the son of Sam and Kurt. The Long’s blog is also now linked over in the right column “squared e.”

Here is a small collaboration of photos from the past few months. Enjoy!

Norah turned “4” on April 17th and Charlie turned “1” on May 11th. Here are some of my faves on their respective bdays!

Hello everyone. We apologize that we have been so neglective of the nogchog. We’ve been a bit busy with social engagements, Norah’s bday, Melinda’s bday, Our anniversary, Charlie’s bday and Mother and Father’s Day, and traveling, Norah’s 1st ballet recital, and the list goes on and on and on.
We will be posting many entries within the next few days, so please be patient. I mean…Thank you for your patience.
