Happy Birthday Noah
The same hair, always!
I can not believe that my baby boy turns 4 today! After years of struggle and heartache, on June 25th, 2005 my little ‘medical miracle’ baby came into our lives. It was almost humorous watching everyone who came and visited us that first morning enter the hospital room with glassy red eyes- a lot of happy car crying took place that day! (Oh, don’t think we didn’t notice!) Even after clearing the giant hurdle that was Noah’s pregnancy, we had no idea of the humor and joy this little guy would bring to our lives.
As Matt often claims, Noah is not only the funniest kid we know, he is the funniest person we know. A couple of months ago, from the back seat of the car, I hear Noah singing- “Smoke, smoke, smoke, smoke-smoke, smoke-smoke. Smoke, smoke, smoke, smoke-smoke” to the tune of the famous guitar riff from ‘Smoke on the Water’. What 3 year old knows that song?
One evening when my parents were babysitting, he turns to my mom and says “Bepah?”
“Yes?”
“I love Jesus”
“Oh, me, too, Noah!” I know at this point in his life, he was just trying to sound precious, but Matt and I pray every day that someday that would be his true heart cry. I pray every night for them before bed that God would be, even now, softening their hearts and drawing it towards a desire to love and obey God. Oh, I do pray! Noah, we love you so much!
