This kid is going to drive me crazy! Those eyes and that smile can be very deceiving! However, there are moments where I just want to hug and kiss him to death!
A couple of weeks ago I was running a little behind schedule (go figure!) and something stopped me and I felt prompted to write a little note and put it in Nolans lunch box. It read "We love you Nolan! Love, Dad, Mom, Chase and Kate"
Just this past week my mother-in-law came down to accompany Nolan to school for Grandparents day. During that time they were encouraged to attend the Book Fair (so smart to do a book fair on Grandparents day!). My mom had sent some money for Nolan to use during the book fair, but Nolan had left the money in an envelope in his backpack...so he and his teacher returned to the room to get it. In the rush to get the money out of the backpack a white piece of paper got stuck to the envelope containing the money and his teacher tossed the paper in the trash. My mother-in-law watched as Nolan walked over to the trash can and removed the paper and handed it to her. He asked her to hold it because it was his special note from me...it was the note I had written and put in his lunch box two weeks ago...he had kept it in his backpack!
That pulled at my heartstrings...I sometimes forget that in between all the wrestling and dirty knees...boys need some extra TLC and they love every minute of it. I guess I will be writing more notes to tell these special kids how much I love and adore them!!!!
Don't these two look thrilled to be going to church!??
