Anouncement: Noa is no longer the “toothless wonder.” That’s right, in the last two weeks she has popped out two little pearly whites in her bottom middle gums. I will admit that when she first started to teeth I shed a few tears anticipating that I would miss her big gaping grin of all gum… but it hasn’t been so bad. In fact, I find that her smile is still precious to me, if not more so, as I love her more and she is more precious to me. Anyway, I guess God designed us like that – for every stage to be better and sweeter. I still think Noa is growing up too fast but it is just so exciting! I’m sorry I haven’t captured these little white wonders on the camera yet but I will (just for you, Grandma Noll!) For now, here’s a family photo from when we were in Florida:
As some of you may have guessed, my big brother Joel has recently taken up brewing beer as a hobby. It’s been pretty fun to watch him get really into it and to follow his blog. While we were visiting, Joel just couldn’t resist getting a shot of Noa with one of his Brewery’s bottles and then post it. How could I not give all of our own readers (or Noa fans) an opportunity to see her this way? Eric wasn’t too thrilled about it but I think it will be a great add for their brewery if they ever get around to becoming a business. To see the blog post go to:

We had an amazing visit with Joel and Mary Stuart.
Joel is my(SB’s) brother and Mary Stuart is one of my dearest friends. I am so thankful to God and Joel for making her my sister too 
It was a great weekend to reconnect with them and just enjoy time together. Somehow, keeping up with them through periodic phone calls and Joel’s beer blog (mondaynightbrewery.com)just aren’t as quality as face time. I am just so thankful for this sweet time together as life only gets crazier for all of us. More pictures to come of our exciting and adventuresome weekend together. (I’ll give you a hint: they involve Noa, a mountain, a wolf, and a music video)
Well, after a great visit with the Iversons of Orlando, we are now on to Atlanta to visit the Iversons =) We are staying with Joel and Mary Stuart for Easter weekend and are sure to have a fabulous time. Here is Noa snuggling with Aunt Mary Stuart and then enjoying Uncle Joel’s reading of her Bible.
