Norah's 3! July 15, 2011

Norah turned 3 on Friday, July 15th. As I've mentioned before - with the kiddos birthdays in the same week, we have one big birthday-week-long-celebration. One of Norah's favorite things to do is splash in the backyard pool.We're very fortunate for good friends - who have kids the same age as ours! We had a party/bonfire and Norah enjoyed playing with 'Kenna... and of course Thomas, Noah's friend!Norah got Tinkerbell (a new found favorite!) from Jeff & I, and Silvermist, from Noah.We went to the Balloon Rally launch on Norah's birthday - she really enjoyed watching the balloons go up this year!Saturday, the 16th, we had the kids' combined birthday party with all the family! Rara J. made Norah an adorable birthday dress (pink, of course!)Norah loves ALL things sweet, and enjoyed every last morsel of her cake. Excited to finally open presents...A ballerina puzzle from Uncle AJ & Aunt Sherry!showing off one of her several ballet moves...Rara & Papa J got Norah talking-twin-dolls... Our Lil'Miss - ALWAYS dressed up in some costume. This happens to be 1st thing in the morning, while eating some Honeycomb cereal (or "Bee Cereal" as she likes to call it)Best buds - she ADORES Noah 99% of the time. The "Wow, I'm 3!" picture I took of Norah.

Norah, you are so spunky & full of life. I love your curly hair & bright blue eyes. Your favorite things: making people laugh, playing with your brother, dressing up in all your different costumes, always wanting to look like a "ballerina-princess" - wearing pink, driving the Gator or Hummer around the backyard, swimming... I could go on & on. I love that you & Noah are best friends...& as much as he looks after you, you also take care of him. I hope you're always partners in crime. You have become quite the good lil' swimmer this summer, and loved playing at the beach in Presque Isle. Your spunkiness is contagious - it's a joy to be around you! Mommy is even beginning to like pink a bit - but not as much as you! You love to pick out your own "fashions" and always want to having something pink on or something you deem lovely. You are also a good little eater, just like Noah. Your favorites are strawberries, peaches, Mac n' cheese, hard salami sandwhiches, hotdogs... although, you really do eat & try anything. You're adventurous. You love to pray & go to Children's church with Noah. You are mommy's little helper in the kitchen & also have a VERY tomboy side of you - helping daddy in the gardens or playing in the dirt...WITH a dress on, of course. I love your heart, Norah - I pray that you'll continue to discover all that God has created you to be and that you love Him with every ounce of your being. You will always be my Lil' Miss. Love you, Stinker-bean!
