Home of the Braves

 Back in April Jeremy and I went to an event for cancer survivors at the Braves game.  We enjoyed getting to walk around the field and get a different perspective on the game.  We sat in the shade with good seats and enjoyed a day out at the game together - celebrating the kindness of God to give us more precious time.

Happy Easter from the Noonan's!



Sweet friends

We had some dear, sweet friends over today for Sunday lunch - we love them and are so glad they are a part of our lives.  We celebrated Lydia's birthday as well as Easter!

Easter Prep

We had a great weekend preparing for Easter.  Good Friday service on Friday night and family worship on Saturday night - and despite the rain, we hunted eggs and planted some flowers.  A great weekend with my sweet kiddos - grateful for them and their joy at life.

Spring

We had a visit with my sweet friend Christina and her youngest yesterday (we missed seeing the 2 oldest but hope to see them soon). The children played Legos and forts outside while we visited. What a beautiful day for a visit! After that, they generously gave us some passes to the Atlanta Botanical Gardens. In my 14 years in Atlanta I've never been to the gardens and I was impressed. The children had a wonderful time and our short 2 1/2 hours there was not enough. Here are some pictures of my kiddos enjoying the spring time flowers - the tulips were amazing - most were taller than Lydia!

Samuel:  "I should have known something was up - you would never let us have Brownies for breakfast"

Have a great day full of laughs with your little ones - Happy April Fools!

Took a look at sleeping beauty on Saturday and began wondering if every color and pattern were represented....She does make life colorful!!!

Happy Birthday Sweetie Girl!

It is her 7th birthday today and we celebrated...Frozen style

Lots of giggling girls, cake and cheetos and doritos

The Birthday girl!

Freeze dance/sing-along to Frozen songs

As with every birthday we're all about the friends, cake and some games.  For the 3rd or 4th year in a row we played a version of "Mother May I?" - in the past w've played "Zookeeper may I?", "Fairy, May I?" and this year "Elsa, May I?"  what simple fun.  And who could resist singing "Let it GO!" at the top of their lungs inside on a rainy day with 11 other girls...so much drama.  We ate cake, played and enjoyed the simple games of childhood.  Sweet girls!

Yard work

We've been working on the yard for a few weeks - digging holes, putting up barriers, weeding, etc. Today the girls helped me put in the last of the azaleas and crepe myrtles.  They were super helpful and most of all cheerful while they did it!

Every good country girl has a hat with mesh on the back and advertising for a fireworks place

The girls and our work

Lydia's pic of me digging more holes

Lucy being creative with the stakes from the trees and making "scooters" to scoot her along in the play grocery cart.  Maybe a new olympic sport!

The week in pics

I got to have a "piclic" with my curly que

And without even being asked the big kids cleaned their closet - amazing - truly amazing!  So grateful for their initiative to take care of their things.

Lydia and I chaparoned a field trip with one of Jeremy's classes to the Cultural Arts Center across the street from his school - the art was great and Lydia especially loved sitting in one of the chairs and then picking dandilions in the field in front of the school

The girls spent 2 hours making sand castles at Samuel's baseball game today - imaginations running wild

And our big trip this week was to visit Big Papa and Aunt Kim and Aunt Vicki.  We were so glad for an afternoon hanging out with family.
