9

Before I dive into my Israel posts, we had a very special event his week.

Noah turned 9!

What a big year for Noah. I've told you before, but I will again. My boy is smart. And I'm not talking about just the normal moms opinion. I mean he's really smart. His test score are off the charts. He reads for fun- all the time. He loves learning.

He was also given the gift of a beautiful singing voice. Every day he sings in the shower (usually the star spangled banner) and he randomly sings all day - making up a new tune or one of his favorites. This Christmas my heart exploded when he sang not just for the kids program but for our entire church on Sunday morning.

He's an awesome big brother. Luke is in awe of Noah. And I watch daily as Noah sacrifices things that he may want to appease our lukey. He and Ella still use their imaginations to play and I don't ever, ever want for him to grow up.

He loves Jesus and talks about him a lot. It warms my heart to see how God is working in his life. I know Noah is going to be an incredible man of God and I pray God uses him greatly.

I am so proud to be his mama. These 9 years have flown by too quickly. Happy birthday babe.
