A LOT of catching up....

A lot has happened in our lives since the last post, but we'll try to keep this as short, sweet yet still informative as possible.....(Sorry in advance for the probable long post anyway....)

*Big stuff first:
- We have officially moved back closer to home! Praise the Lord for getting us back closer to our family and friends! We feel so extremely blessed for everything to have worked out so wonderfully.
- We bought a house in Hebron, KY. We love it so far!
- Dawn is officially a 3rd year med student! Our lives are pretty busy, but we're managing pretty well so far....

- moving out of Pikeville....

- Daddy and Noah went to the Florence Aquatic Center while Mommy was studying for boards.....Noah loved it!


*Noah stuff:
- Noah is almost 11 months old! He's getting so big, and is so very active and curious....It is so amazing to see all the things he's learning to do and say. We are so blessed to have this sweet baby!
- Noah has had a lot of firsts over the past couple of weeks.
--> Noah has been to his first Reds game (and also his first Rays game - while we were in Tampa)
--> He's been on his first plane
--> He's seen the beach/ocean for the first time
-->While at the ocean, Noah cut his first tooth! (yeah, his mommy and daddy got their first tooth a little later than others too....)
-->Noah went to his very first sheep show
-->He's been to two family reunions (one on each side of the family)
-->He's been LOVING table food....we gave him just a little on vacation, and he's been signing "more" for it ever since! :)

- Noah: driving the cart while Daddy played golf on his birthday while we were on vacation! - on the putting green!
- Noah and Daddy at the beach!
- Noah's first tooth!
- Hanging out in the cabana!

Noah's first sheep show! Uncle Deron's last year in 4H.

- Noah at his first Reds game!

- Noah and Daddy at the Aquarium in Newport checking out the sharks!

*Other info:
- Dawn is finished with Boards (Step 1)!!! Well, for now....more to come, but it feels nice to not have something to worry about studying ALL the time....
- Dawn's rotations are going well. She had her first night on call last night and it went pretty well. Things are very busy, but she's learning a lot.
- Nick is currently staying home with Noah. Even though he'd like to find a job very soon, it's been nice to have this transition time for Noah after moving and a very busy couple of weeks. It's good for him to have Nick at home with him, even if it is just for a couple of weeks. Nick's been able to work on some logos lately, so that's been very good.
- And finallly....Noah is going to have a cousin in a few months! We are so excited for Jonathan and Bethany and cannot wait to meet the newest Meacham! (We're also glad they told everyone so we can celebrate God's blessings with all of you!)
