Sweet Noah

My sweet, sweet Noah :) He tries desperately to keep up with his 2 older brothers, and he does a pretty good job at it. But, he is barely 3 and still needs his nappies. Today I took some pictures of him while he was sleeping - about the only time he is still enough to actually pose :) I love the soft curves of his fingers and the way his nose turns up on the end. His golden curls and waves in his hair. His soft, uncalloused feet and silky skin. He's getting bigger now, but he's still my baby :)

Ladies Night Out at Open Door

Once each Spring the Women's Ministry at church has a Ladies Night Out where all women can come and fellowship and be encouraged by the testimonies of other ladies. Our Hispanic Adult Bible Fellowship ladies really enjoyed the beautiful decorations, delicious desserts, and inspiring testimonies of how God is so good to each of us. A great time!

Baseball Season begins!

This marks a new era in sports for our family :) Both Nathan and Anthony are playing Spring ball. Nathan is on the A's and Anthony plays t-ball for the Mets. This past Saturday the seaon officially began with a parade (they both got to ride on floats and throw out candy), an opening ceremony and first pitch, followed by the first game for each of them. It was an exciting and fun day for the whole family. Papaw came all the way from KY to see it! They both had a great time and enjoyed Opening Day :)

Look Mom! No . . . training wheels!

Today, much to the surprise of everyone, Anthony asked Daddy to take off his training wheels. So he did AND then Anthony took off on his own like he had been riding without them for years! It was incredible! He went fast, he went slow, he turned curves, he went in circles, he got off, and he got on with no problems! It was a sight to see and he was so proud, smiling the whole time. We were so proud too! He's only 4 and is full of such confidence :)

Amaury celebrates another year! Happy Birthday!

Three years ago Amaury began sharing his birthday with his third son Noah. I think he would say that he counts it a blessing to be able to do that. In fact, his three boys are among his greatest blessings in life. We thank God for another wonderful healthy year for Amaury and we rejoice in God's goodness over him and towards our family. Around here we call him "Daddy" and he is the best Daddy we know :) We love him so much! Happy Birthday Daddy and many more!

Our baby Noah is 3!!! Happy Birthday big boy!

Our sweet baby boy turned 3 today! Its hard to believe he can already be 3 years old. He is probably the most joyful, most affectionate, most loving, and loudest little boy we've ever known. He is such a blessing to our family and we love him with all our hearts. We celebrated with a cake, balloons, and some presents. You can see in the pictures that he is already practicing how to hold up 3 little fingers. Being 2 was much easier to demonstrate :) We love you Noah and we thank God for you!

Happy Easter 2010!

We have a wonderful church family to share Easter with. We had a large lunch/fellowship meal and then the children were able to hunt eggs in the backyard and forest. We are privileged to have such great friends to share life with since we live so far from family.
