Noah is 3!

Noah turned 3 on Saturday! 
Noah's school celebrated his birthday on Friday by inviting mom to come read a few of Noah's current favorite books ("Little Quack", and "The Best Day Ever, Dad") to the class, and sharing some of Noah's favorite treats (Dum Dum Suckers, or "Lollies"), while Noah wore his special glitter birthday crown that Miss Annie Made for him!


*Dad and Asha were present at school, but did not make it in any of the pictures because of camera duties. However, below is a picture of Dad and Asha immediately preceding the 'emergency outfit change' that occurred just before leaving for Noah's school celebration...
She looks so innocent, doesn't she?

So what about Noah?

While Noah has not been the subject of as many pictures as his little sister as of late (by his own choice), he is still very much the center of things.
One recent highlight that was captured on camera was Noah meeting Santa Clause for the first time.  It went quite well.  He asked for "more library books."  Check. 

You may note a certain yellow bear attached to Noah...Pooh Bear is a constant companion, comfort, and source of germs 

Asha take 3

The kissing has not stopped (and surely you can see why...)

Update....

We are at the point where it has been so long since we've posted, I am asking myself, "do I try to catch up, risking never actually getting to it, or do we just jump in at the current time and hope for the best?"

Here is a brief update, and explanation of why this blog has been so silent...

Noah became a big brother on July 14, 2011!  Introducing sweet little Asha...

(not really, but dad took this pic around birth time and thought it was appropriate)
Noah has been a really sweet big brother, wanting to hold "Athya" and warm up all her toys and pacifiers for her.  :)
