We are currently assembling the schedule and making plans to have in person activities as well as activities that anyone can participate in no matter where you are.
Noah's Kindness Project Store:
While we now have featured every color of the rainbow in the last 6 years we've had Noah's Kindness Project, this year we will be sporting a tie-dye colored shirts (in rainbow colors of course). If you would like to purchase a NKP t-shirt, please visit our NKP store found here.
Order today: the deadline to order is August 29th.
Virtual Race/Walk:
The night before Noah passed away we were informed our time with him was limited and we were asked if we would like to have some professional pictures taken of him and our family before his time on earth was done. We of course said yes and as the hour passed, we were informed of an incredible organization called, Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep. This organization collaborates with professional photographers who volunteer their time to photograph families whose children are in the final moments of their time on earth. Some times they come before the child/baby passes and other times they come right after. Their goal is to give the family professional pictures (moments) that the family will have to look back on and cherish after their lives are separated by this world.
We were fortunate enough to have an incredible photographer who came to the hospital in the middle of the night to take pictures of Jarrett, Noah and me. They are some of the most cherished photos I have of him. My favorite one is this...
This picture is the one picture we keep on display in our home for others to see. It is my favorite because it is of Noah being held in Daddy's hands. This picture reminds me of the song I learned as a little girl in Bible school... "He's got the whole world in his hands." As I look at this picture it is this song that comes to mind each and every time. While I cherish seeing the care and love Jarrett shared in holding our precious little miracle, so tiny and perfect, I am reminded that God now holds him in his hands, until we can get there to be with him again. And that brings me some peace.
We are forever grateful for the gift that Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep gave us in those pictures and for other families facing a similar road of having to say goodbye too soon, it has always been an organization to give to.
This year, they are doing a virtual walk in honor of the babies gone too soon and this year it happens to fall on October 2. We invite you to join us for the virtual walk. We will be hosting a route starting from our house in person on October 2 at 8:30 am if you'd like to join us in person, or you can participate where ever you might be.
If you would like to join our Noah's Kindness Project team for the virtual walk please visit: https://raceroster.com/registration/49262/entry?team=333857
We invite you to join us for a 1.2 mile run or walk, or if you're not up for that long, go for a 12 minute walk/run in honor of the 12 days he lived. If you're up for a bigger challenge we invite you to go longer. Share with us what you decide to do... whether you walk, run, roller-skate, ride a bike, or crawl.... we'd love to see you post your virtual morning activity with us.
If you would like to join us in person, please rsvp to Angie or Jarrett by September 15 so we can plan ahead and arrive to our house by 8:15 for an 8:30 start.
