Relay

Noah raised over $1400 for Relay For Life this year! We are so proud of him.


He went door to door, collecting from neighbors and friends. He also collected at school, helped with our road blocks and manned our money booth at Relay. Noah was so determined to make his brother proud - and I know Austin is looking down on him with a big smile.


He certainly followed in his brother's footsteps this year. At Relay, he leaned over to me and asked if he could be our Team Captain next year. It was so reminiscent of Austin, a few years ago.

lil graduate

Noah is a proud 3rd grade graduate!

He very frankly told me he felt he deserved a party or something. We were proud of him, making the Honor Roll all year and doing so well, all things considered. He is a very bright child and I'm glad he does so well.

He looks forward to a brand new school and being a "big 4th grader" in the fall. I sit and watch him, amazed at how quickly he is growing. It seems as if he grows overnight!


What never changes are his beautiful ocean eyes, tiny freckles and his ability to always make me laugh. He is so quick-witted and never ceases to make me smile. In fact, I was just watching him while writing this and he caught me. He said, "What?! Do I have something on my face?" I chuckled and said no. "Then why are you staring at me?" ....Because he is so darn cute, that is why.
