#1 fans

We are Noah's #1 fans... we go to every practice and game and watch him play.  Well, let me restate that... I watch him play while Micah enjoys climbing the fence, eating snacks, and playing around with some of Noah's teammates.  Regardless, we're there for Noah.  When will Micah start playing???

3 generations

Three generations of Smith men celebrating Grandpa Barry's 61st birthday...  I can't get over how Noah resembles Jawsh and Micah resembles Zach... they are all so good looking, wouldn't you say???

Power slugger

Noah is really enjoying t-ball.  I am so glad that we signed him up for this team sport.  The team has come a long way (i.e. running to first base instead of third base after they hit).  Noah loves to go to bat.  He has his own style of hitting... he lifts his leg to get some momentum and then he swings with all his might.  When he makes contact he can hit some zingers and his coaches said he is ready for Coach Pitch next season. Will Noah keep up with baseball???

Three dollars

Noah's third visit from the tooth fairy was also a quick one... no pomp or circumstance due to Micah's continued phobia of tooth fairies. He received three dollars and a note... when will the tooth fairy visit again???

Third toof

Noah lost his third tooth at preschool during lunch while eating an apple... the lower left lateral incisor is out!  I can't believe he has already lost three baby teeth!  He was as cool as a cucumber (he's an old pro at this now) and the teacher was very surprised that he took it all in stride.  My baby boy is growing up...  why is it going so fast???

Happy Easter

Today we were in Ontario celebrating Liam's baptism during Easter!  The kids went to church and then went on an Easter Egg Hunt in Harabujee's backyard. As I was hiding plastic eggs full of candy, Watts was at it again breaking the plastic eggs open with his mouth to eat the contents inside.  The kids took off running all over the back yard and loved finding eggs and stashing the goods in their baskets... what will that be like when Liam's old enough to do this???

Boba Fett, water color, 2012

Noah benefits from having a teacher for a mother and an artist for a father.  We were getting a portfolio ready for a school submission and Noah decided to write about Boba Fett and painted a picture.  He did a very nice job independently and I think that anyone who reads his expository writing will be well informed of the importance of who Boba Fett is in the original Star Wars trilogy.  I love his deep interest but I must say that I can't wait for him to write about other things... when will that be???
