January 24....I now have a true "Pre-Teen"!

NOAH -
Noah is 11! I cannot believe it, but at the same time, it feels like forever ago that he was my one and only. Noah is a very special kid and I can't even begin to tell you how much I love him. He is very strong willed and stubborn, but he is a very good natured and kind. He loves his brother's and sister so much and is very nurturing and protective. He loves to tease and make people laugh. He is very sensitive and does not like to see people hurt. Noah is very good at sports and loves each sport he is doing at the time! Football is his favorite though and he can't wait for the season to start every year! He has found a spot as the Center and loves to play as much as he can. I am so proud of him. I am so proud of the young man he is becoming.
This year for birthdays we decided we are going to do "Family Birthday". (no friend parties this year:( ). We took the kids to Tucano's (Noah's choice) Grandma and Grandpa J joined us. Then on Sunday, his actual birthday, we had cake and ice cream with Grandma Sandy and Grandpa Steve. We had a fun weekend celebrating him!

5th grade has been a little bit of a challenge for us! It is hard to learn to be "responsible" for the work you are required to do! He has been able to do a lot of fun things, like the Science fair project, and he is part of the "Battle of the Books" club. I am glad that he wants to join in and try new things. I am just glad we have 1 more year before Jr. High!

Noah- we love you to pieces and are so glad you are part of our family. Happy Birthday bud!
