Happy Birthday Noah (and Grandma too)
Today is our son Noah's 6th birthday. Its hard to believe that 6 years have gone by. He still is the light of our lives & Grandma Bowen's favorite birthday present. He was born on her birthday-- at 9:12PM on Oct 2nd. He weighed in at 7lbs 14 oz, but has been a growing boy ever since then. He weighs in at a whopping 42 lbs now & is more than half of his grandma's height.
We had a family celebration over the weekend & had a good time. Noah is enjoying his new tent. He still is BIG into cars of any kind. Loves looking at them, naming every make and model on the street, & of course there is Disney CARS! LOL
Happy Birthday to our Noah bear (and Grandma Joan too!)
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous. Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us -- it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others

Well, to sum it all up...I'm a former Preschool teacher, who currently devotes her time to being a Stay at home Mom after my youngest son was born in 2001. I have been blessed with 3 awesome boys, ages 22, 19 and 7.
I've been married to hubby Joel for 9 years this August. I love to travel, scrapbook, enjoy creative writing, cooking, interior design & children's ministry. :)
Joel & I also are advocates for our 7 year old son, who has officially been diagnosed with autism (high functioning) in May 2007. Early intervention has helped Noah thrive and has made some progress along the way. He's been attending school since the age of 3 when we enrolled him in Preschool to start Speech and Occupational therapy. Recently; We've found a Naturopathic Physician in Seattle that specializes in Autism and we are praying one day that Noah will be completely recovered.
