Noah

Noah's 1st trip to the beach

A beautiful song to dwell on

HE KNOWS MY NAME

(1)

I have a Maker

He formed my heart

Before even time began

My life was in His hand

(chorus)

He knows my name

He knows my every thought

He sees each tear that falls

and hears me when I call

(2)

I have a Father

He calls me His own

He'll never leave me

No matter where I go

(chorus)

He knows my name

He knows my every thought

He sees each tear that falls

and hears me when I call

(chorus)

He knows my name

He knows my every thought

He sees each tear that falls

and hears me when I call

(chorus)

He knows my name

He knows my every thought

He sees each tear that falls

and hears me when I call

He hears me when I call.

Jonathan and Timothy

Jonathan


The above pictures were taken right outside the Charlotte Airport. We stopped there to eat on our way home from Spartanburg, SC. It was a better view than actually sitting at the parking deck at the airport.

Paul, Timothy, Abigail, and Jonathan in the pool at the hotel we stayed at in Spartanburg, SC

Abigail is "reading" books to Timothy. They play so well together (most of the time). Timothy has a book in his hand also.

Noah having his "play" time.

Abigail and Noah at Grandma's house a few weeks ago.

Timothy was soooo tired. He fell asleep sitting up in the chair at Grandma's house. I think he missed his nap that day.

Timothy decided to decorate his hair. He put mashed potatoes in his hair.

Like Father like son
Nap Time!!!!!

Timothy turns 2

Timothy turned 2 on January 27.

The time sure goes by fast!

Noah is one month old

Noah is now 1 month old January 28 (actually by now

More fun pictures

(Jonathan was playing the Wii when

I took these pictures.)

What a difference a haircut makes!

Doesn't he look so different?

Guess who is who-Timothy or Noah?

FUN IN THE SNOW

We have just enough hill behind our apartment bldg to be able to sled. The kids took turns riding down the hill. Here is Abigail riding down the hill. It was a lot of fun.

Noah's first snow. Timothy's first snow was when he was about a week old.

Timothy was a bit overwhelmed with the snow. He did play in it and had fun. No, he doesn't have a black eye. He had blueberry poptart for breakfast and he rubbed some on his face. They all wanted to get outside to play I forgot to clean his face.

Here Jonathan is taking his turn. It is a lot of fun.

More breathing issues

We were so hoping that Noah would not have the same issues as the others, but as you can tell he is following in the other's footsteps. Our children have sensitive airways, especially the boys. Noah started off with a cough which ended up with wheezing when he breathes. This usually means the airways are tightening or becoming smaller. Most of the time it requires a steroid/breathing treatment. We thought he might have RSV which is very contagious, but thank God he did not. We did have to keep a close watch on his breathing. God was great and took care of him. He is much better now.

After coming home from the hospital, I was not suppose to pick up anything heavier than the baby. One morning Timothy woke up with an awful cough. It was the croupy cough. He was struggling with his breathing as well. I gave him a breathing treatment to help open up the airways. Well unfortunately it takes some time for the medicine to work. Timothy was really struggling with his breathing. I was really close to taking him to the ER. I picked him up and stood in front of the freezer to get him to breathe in the cool air. I was not suppose to pick him up. He weighs close to 30 lbs. God was gracious. I was able to pick him up and stand for a good 20 minutes or so. I didn't feel anything pull from the C-section. Thankfully shortly after doing all that he started breathing better. I write this to show the goodness of God. TO GOD BE THE GLORY!!!
