picture perfect

Noah is my little artist. He loves to color and paint… mostly on his body. I am working hard on teaching him to keep the paint ON the paper. I am so proud of him… today he used the paint brush for the first time. Usually he just smears paint around with his hands and…

dodgeball

The students at our church had a dodgeball tournament – it was such a fun night! I took the boys out to watch and that was an adventure to say the least… Noah made several attempts to jump in the game. He also decided to go in the middle of the court and break dance…
