Remember this kid? He just celebrated his 4th birthday (and first one with a family)! How incredible is it the difference that ONE year makes. Every day we thank God for leading us to Noah but last week more than any other time in the past eight months, I really slowed down to reflect on this season in our lives and how faithful God was to our family.
His 4th birthday seemed to last many days with a small family party, preschool celebration and on October 6th presents and balloons from us, Noah's forever family. He thoroughly LOVED every minute of attention and affection! Noah told us countless times last week how much he loved us and was glad we were his; it almost felt bittersweet to celebrate with him something that can carry so many sad and empty thoughts for children that have been adopted. We keep an open dialogue with him (and our other 2 kids) so he very much understood that this was the first time that WE were there with him on October 6th.
Here are a few moments with special people that came a long way to see Noah during his special week
And more of our 4 year old enjoying all the presents and once a year treats
And finally our always happy birthday King Noah who wore his crown all day :)
