God is good...all the time!

As I look back over the last year and all that Noah has added to our family I can't help but to smile.  It wasn't an easy journey to get our little Noey but all the emotions that came from that season seem like a lifetime ago.  Because it wasn't in my timing I often allowed my flesh to take over and lost patience and became frustrated with God.  We continued to pray and Eric continually reminded me of God's faithfulness and our need to rejoice even when it was the last thing I wanted to do.  Of course I would get even more frustrated because I knew those things and a good bit of the time I continued to rejoice but the few times that I allowed myself to get wrapped up in my own self pity it was not pretty.  As we all know God answered our prayers and what a blessing His timing was!  "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose."  Romans 8:28

When I think back to the morning I had him it sometimes feels like yesterday and other times it seems like Noah has been a part of our family forever.  He is so fun!  We have loved watching his little personality shine through. 

A couple of things that make Noah "Noah":

His cheeks!

He's a pretty cautious fella.

He absolutely loves to be outside.

He's aware of his surroundings.

He's very smart.

He's a super quick learner and picks up on things quickly.

He gives a serious vibe but is always

smiling and laughing.

He brings us so much joy!

I'm pretty sure I need this kid more than he needs me!
