Presents

Noah enjoyed opening his gifts. He noted that this was the first year Uncle Joel's gift was not wrapped in map-paper :-) He laughed at the silly jokes on Bob's card, he played with his new flashlight, he got excited about his new reading pile, he was surprised and thrilled by the check from sweet friends, he remarked that his birthday is extending as gifts will continue to arrive, and we all marveled at the photo of the whales. He was showered with gifts and well wishes from people near and far. He is truly blessed.

"Exhausted from the excitement" he set up his new hammock and promptly took a nap. It is hard to turn 15.
