A Noble Endeavor

 The Noble Family

The party was such a success. We ate pulled pork sandwiches and spinach-artichoke dip - 2 of Field's favorite foods. His swing set had been set up for about 2 weeks, but I did not allow him (or Daddy) to play on it until all the grandparents could be there to watch him. Whit carried him over to it and he climbed up the ramp and slid down the slide for the first time. His excitement was just priceless.

I am so glad we waited for everyone to be there.

Field was very well behaved and stayed up late to enjoy all of his company. He walked a few steps while everyone was watching (he is walking up a storm now) and was surprisingly interested in opening his presents. He was so tired we didn't even have to bother with his bedtime routine.

 What a precious gift our son is. He makes us laugh and smile, and he loves us whole-heartedly. We are so thankful for this wonderful first year and are very much looking forward to all the years to come.
