My wife entered a photo of Noah in the “America’s Cutest Last-Minute Tax Deduction” contest, and we found out that he’s a finalist. If you would, please take a second to go to the Cutest Tax Deduction site, scroll down to the bottom and cast your vote for little Noah.

Let’s rock the vote! (And no registration is required.)

Thanks very much.

  1. I voted for him, and I think he really is the cutest of the finalists.

    Done joyfully, Tim.
    The other kids are cute, but Noah clearly is the cream of the crop.

    A big welcome to those of you visiting from Justin’s blog and Tim Challies’ blog. Since you’re most likely new here, I’ll give you a quick summary of the past couple of weeks.

    Noah was born Dec. 30, and was quickly taken to the NICU with respiratory distress. The next day, they discovered he had a pneumothorax (or hole) in each lung, resulting in an air leak.

    So, Noah had to get two chest tubes inserted — one on each side. The chest tubes removed the air that had gathered outside his lungs, thus allowing his lungs to expand and to heal. He spent six nights in NICU before we were able to bring him home on Jan. 5.

    The Lord was most gracious to us in healing little Noah. A friend of my wife’s works in an NICU at a different hospital, and she said it’s not uncommon for this kind of situation to require a much lengthier stay.

    So, we’re so grateful to the Lord for healing Noah as quickly as he did. God is indeed good.

    Thanks for visiting, and thanks for helping us by voting.

    Also, I should add: the grand prize for the contest is a $5,000 savings bond — which means, given the state of our economy, that it should be worth about $1.83 when it matures.
