Happy Birthday Noah & Olivia!

Hard to believe yet another July 13th is here! 3 years ago today, we were blessed with Noah's birth 9 days past his due date. Finally, our long awaited second son! Then just 1 year later, our precious rainbow baby decided to surprise us and was born early on Noah's 1st birthday. Such a special bond the 2 of these kiddos have with sharing a birthday, an intertwining of their lives that can only be God-ordained for reasons I'm sure we'll only start to see in the coming years.

What a privilege it's been to be the mom of these 2 amazing kids! It's a bittersweet time, celebrating them both while only one of them is here with us. I long to see the person who Noah would be today, his interests, his personality and his relationship with his siblings, especially with Olivia since they are so close in age. I've loved watching Olivia's spunky & comical personality emerge and look forward to seeing where God leads her in life!

Happy Birthday Noah & Olivia! You both are so very much loved & cherished!

despicable me cake, minions, fondant
These are the 2 cakes I made for their birthday. Olivia LOVES anything with Despicable Me and the minions. I like to think that her & Noah would've had their own little language between each other like these cute cartoon guys do.  They'd probably be devising silly things to do together like the minions do as well!

  2. I have heard about your blog a while back ago and yesterday I spent a good part of my day reading your blog. You are inspirational and your faith in God helps encourage me! I am 20 years old and I hope that whenever I get married, that I can have many children. I am really in awe of God giving you Olivia on Noah's first birthday. I have a question, what made you choose her name? Reason that I ask is because Noah means rest or peace and I know that Olivia means olive tree or olive branch which is a symbol of peace. Like when Noah sent out a dove and it came back with an olive branch. I look forward to reading your blogs! God bless!

    1. Thank you Ruthie for your kind words! Olivia was a name we had for a long time actually but once I dug deep into the mean right before we had her, I was amazed how much the meaning of her name tied in with Noah's. I shared a bit about it here at the end of the post: http://treasuringlifesblessings.blogspot.com/2011/08/olivias-birth-story-part-2.html
