Noah: Comfort; rest; quiet. We didn't necessarily choose the name Noah because of any specific reason. Lucas is more of a traditional name guy...me, I like a little more original. Well, after several vetoes on each side (and if you've seen a particular Friends episode you should get a chuckle here), Noah stuck. I do love the meaning of his name. And while the poor boy gets referred to from other kids as Noah..."like Noah and the Ark?" I love the fact that Noah from the Bible was such a wonderful and obedient man of God. A role model I don't mind if Noah looks up to.
David: Beloved or friend. The name David flows throughout both sides of our families so it was a more obvious and meaningful choice. It is Lucas' middle name and father's name as well as my brother's middle name and nephews middle name. (Did you catch all of that?) Seemed fitting to continue it on.
We've been so blessed by this past year and the experience of watching our little one learn and grow is like none other.
Thank you, Lord, for all that you have given to us. For bringing Noah into our lives and for trusting in us to raise him to honor and glorify You.
And thank you family and friends who have loved on us and Noah this past year. Served up countless prayers on our behalf and look forward to "doing life" with us as we continue our journey.
I promise more fun posts to follow of Noah's festivities...and they won't be as sappy as this one! And just in case you didn't notice how relatively clean Noah stayed in the above photos, the only little piece of icing that made it to his mouth was from Lucas and I trying to urge him to take a bite. He wasn't interested.
And a HAPPY BIRTHDAY shout out to Uncle Micah who Noah lovingly shares his special day with!

I still can't believe he was born on Micah's b-day! I was sure Lucas was just calling to wish him a good day :) I love how you did this post, so sweet. Happy birthday, Noah!
Happy 1st Birthday, Noah! We can't believe it was only a year ago that God brought you into our world. Wish we could've had some of your birthday cake. You look so cute. We love you SO much! Nana and Papa
Happy Birthday, Noah! Now ... convince your parents to let you have a night over at our place. I think they need a night out ... don't you think? I'd love to give 3 boys a shot :)
