From the heart of Noelle

May 11th, 2010

Last night Noelle said, "I wish I could go in my brain and see God."  This was after she told me she wished he was here with us and I told her that he is always here with us.  She’s so sensitive to the Holy Spirit inside of her.  I love that about Noelle.

Happy Mother’s Day!

So, Michele and I put the kids to bed and went to DQ tonight to get Blizzards to celebrate being Moms together.  Long story short, a DQ employee asked if she could sit with us while she waited on her ride.  I was thinking, "Haven’t seen my sister since November, man… Sure!  Take a seat…"  Ends up she gave her mother a juicer and a turtle for Mother’s Day, is joining the army in July, and is planning to go AWOL when her tour goes to Australia because she’s always wanted to see that country.  Michele and I both left DQ totally confused and feeling so awkward.  "What just happened?"  Oh well… makes for a really funny story and a good memory!

Noelle has kissed Anna Kate 1,000 times this year.  Every time I turn around she is kissing on "our" baby.  She’s so special and kind.

We had so much fun last night going out to our traditional Cinco de Mayo birthday celebration.  However, this year we pushed back the time and ended up waiting over 2 hours (we’re going at 4:30 next year!!!)!  We’ll never forget this year’s birthday tradition!

Drew, Anna, and my sister Michele stopped by on their way to Jacksonville to see our new house after flying over 12 hours and half-way around the world!  They were in great spirits and all had such a fun time playing together.  It was really sweet that they came by on their journey to J’ville.

Thanks for the pjs!!!

The car ride home was so quiet!  I love how Anna Kate’s purse is sparkling all over her face, and Noelle fell asleep with her sunglasses on.
