Smyrna Sharks
This is the 3rd year Noah has been on the Smyrna Sharks! It is easily the sport I like to spectate the most. Tonight I am equally as proud of Hill than I am in Noah. Hill is a champ, hanging at the pool deck EVERY am for an hour while Noah practices and than for about 4 hours during a meet. Tonight was a true HotLanta evening and Hill played with a few cars and a magna dooble (no phone games, portable DVD or DS etc). Just the basics. Hill cheers for his big brother and some of our buddies and is fist bumping and high 5ing everyone. Tonight Noah swan his personal best in Freestyle and Backstroke and so far this season has earned some 1st, 2nd and 3rd place ribbons. We couldn't be prouder. But, tonight the winner is Hill who proudly cheered on his brother. Way to go Harper boys.

Stinking Cute
I find myself saying "these boys are so stinking cute". Well Noah has informed me that you can't really be "stinking cute" because these words are "like opposites". What do you think? I still saying "stinking cute"...

Menorah All Aglow!
One of my favorite shots every year is on the 8th night of Hanukkah.
The candles look beautiful surrounded by our Christmas Tree, stockings, Gingerbread house, candy canes etc..........
This year Noah really was involved singing the blessings each night and truly understanding that a small army battled a large army to take the Temple back so the people could worship God. He also loves the Shamesh or Servant candle and how that represents Jesus - the servant we see that gets his light from another source (God) and how he has come to serve and save us.
These days Hill is just so happy ALWAYS... I am so greatful. NO terrible twos just moments of MINE. and he quickly will change his tune to "I share"!
We are not believers in the terrible twos!!!! Claiming that we will truly enjoy this two year old.

Dont Even...
No comments or questions as to why I havent blogged since August! But I am back....
It is after Thanksgiving and Christmas, we still are bringing out something we havent played with from under the tree, still enjoying cookies and reindeer munch and of course Jesus birthday cake.
It was a sweet time this year with no out of town guests. I had to stop myself often from saying "just the 4 of us". It was just as it should be.
We Loved CCC Christmas Eve service and then joining CCC and FBC Smyrna on Christmas Day. Delivering a gift box of food on Christmas Day really helped us focus on what the birth of Jesus means.
Some highlights of course was Noah waking up first saying "Hill look Santa came and he left a cookie". Our kind Noah as more excited about the bicycyle pump than his new bicycle and giving Phillip and I are gifts that he and Hill bought at AWANA. I am everyday amazed by his giving spirit.
We continued with our Jewish heritage by celebrating Hanukkah, ligthing our menorah each night and reflecting on the miracle of the Maccabees taking bake the temple from the King of Syria and the miracle of the oil. We talk about the Shamesh being the servant candle that serves as a light to the other candles just as Jesus is our light. It is amazing how every Jewish Holiday points clearly to our Jewish messiah.
We have been enjoying our time at home, having playdates, tackling new toys and our 500 piece star wars puzzle.
As you can see from the pics this was
another classic for our Santa photo Gallery.

Mommy is always listening!
We have several Party supply, Halloween, birthday catalogs and magazines, around the house. I have showed them to Noah and we have discussed our thoughts and ideas about themes for Hill's 2nd birthday.
Here is a conversation I overheard them having this afternoon
Noah "Hill look at this. what do you think? I know its hard to choose, it was hard for me to choose when I was your age"
Hill "eat...wawa...mommy,doah"
Noah "You can have trains, animals, or race cars or look you can have star wars, cars characters, dress up costumes, army guys. Look what about this one or this one.
Hill "doah, noah, brathur"
Noah "Hill I will help you decide you will like whatever you decide, I did when I was your age. right Mommmy?
Mommy "What are you boys chatting about?"
LOL
PRECIOUS PRECIOUS BROTHERS

My Athlete I mean Mathlete
By no means have I ever done math, do I do math or like math. I use a calculator, count on my fingers etc etc. I also try to be humble and not boast. But yes, when it come to my boys sometimes that's hard. As we are nearing the end of the 3rd week of Kindergarten I can not be prouder of Noah. He was assessed for readiness for 1st grade math and now visits another classroom for math where he does.... 1st grade math. Today's homework "draw an AB pattern". So glad I didnt have to know what that meant! Noah...my Mathlete
