Happy Thanksgiving

Sweet siblings

These four will be each others friends for life - for better or worse - and our minivan will be full for many years to come!

Grandpa Noonan and Mrs. Angie

Thanks to Mrs. Angie and Grandpa Noonan - #1, #2 and #3 Noonan kids were safe and sound and had a great time for the two days we were at the hospital - I am overwhelmed at their love and support. Thanks! No pics of Mrs. Angie with the baby yet but here's Grandpa with Nathaniel.

He's Here!

Nathaniel Courage Noonan joined us Wednesday night at 6:16 pm with a grand entrance. He weighed 7 lbs. 9 oz. and was 21 inches long. He's a precious gift to our little family and I'm so grateful for this "gift of God".

One big happy family - I am so blessed to be mama of this crew with this man by my side.

Sleeping beauties - my boys sleeping in the hospital room.

Showered by friends!

Several weeks ago some of my friends from work threw me a shower at a nearby restaurant - what a great time and the first time I had really stopped to think about this little one on the way (I wish I had a picture). Some girls from church then threw me a shower and I was really able to think about the coming of this fourth blessing.

 Today - which might end up being my last day until after maternity leave because I can't waddle around the ER very well right now - the girls at work threw me a shower. It was great! I felt so loved and cared for. It's hard to for me to let others give to me - I'd rather be the giver most times but it was overwhelming to feel the care and love of those who are around me.

 THANKS everyone! Here are some of my co-workers in the ER

1/2 day Fall fun

This is what I'm doing for my afternoon of fun - lots of friends and children running around - girls and boys - giggles, Pegasus races (galloping around cul-de-sac) football, "family", tea party, Wii, food and good times with friends. (Mama is doing all her hosting and partying before little brother makes his appearance sometime this month.)
