Noah the sugary duck!

His name means comforter. When he was born there was something about him that seemed to just give you a sense of rest or peace.

I'm a little late on this post but going through pictures, I knew I had to blog about this to remember and to look back and not forget. The day before Noah's Christmas break, we were informed that Noah was getting an award. We had no idea what it was, but we were excited.

So there we were sitting in the cafeteria, which by the way seemed way smaller than I remember an elementary cafeteria being. As they filed in with their hands behind their back excited to be outta class I would imagine. When he walked through the door and saw all of us sitting front row, that smile came from ear to ear.

The principle talked about the character counts, that the school had and for the month of November it was "caring" and moments later Noah's name was called.

What I loved so much about this picture, is that when he was called, he looked back at us to give us a thumbs up.. He was so excited. We were proud and a little loud I'm sure.

What we didn't know till that day was that he was getting another award. It was a teachers award for being a "good Samaritan", for helping his teacher and his classmates.

He didn't seem too impressed, he was more excited about doing his little Christmas performance and party. You know you raise your kids and pray that what you are teaching them is sticking. Its times like this that the Lord shows us that they are listening. Giving us hope and encouraging us on this long rough road of parenting.

Straight from the awards assembly we went straight to his class of a little performance and party.

This was a small performance, but here he was saying "the sugary duck began to quack and shake the sugar off his back." The family was saying that for weeks. It was so cute, and he totally got into it. The last photo is my favorite of the day because it is genuine and I love the way he loves to laugh.

O Lord may my son walk with you all the days of his life!
