Not flesh of my flesh, nor bone of my bone; but, still miraculously, my own.
Never forget, for a single minute you didn't grow under my heart, but in it.

November 3rd What a day! :)

November 3, 2007 was an amazing day! That was the day we first heard about and laid eyes on our son Noah WesLee Sisemore waiting in Taiwan for us! It was like an amazing whirlwind adventure just beginning! I will NEVER forget that day. I received an email that said we have been told you are interested in Special Needs Adoption and we have a little baby boy that no one wants, would you consider him! Boy howdy we will! We will take him I email back! Almost immediatly I get an email back saying let me send you information and pictures so you can make an informed decision. So they came and we saw his face and we KNEW even more that he was OUR NOAH! We sent back word that YES we want him, what do we do and so it began! We began researching things in the medical report, fundraising, paperwork and a 10 and half month long journey of a ride where God bridged the ocean and took us to our Noah! :)



Here is OUR Noah WesLee Sisemore Today!



November 3, 2009!






And here is the FIRST picture we ever saw that we saw November 3, 2007! The picture was actually over a month old. Noah was 6 months old when we first heard about him and 16 and a half months when he was placed in my shaking arms! :) THANK YOU JESUS for making my dreams come true! Thank you that I can TRUST You will work all things for good so that Jeremiah can come home SOON! :)





Today we had a playdate with our playgroup at Jumping Jupiter :) Here are some shots of Noah on this special day!






He did not seem to thrilled about the playdate for a good while!



Mommy is trying so hard to get him excited! NOT WORKING! lol




We are thinking about havin some fun! and watching the other kids!




Finally we decided we would try but ONLY if MAMA got in too! So I am laying in one of the bouncy houses getting pics :)



you can't really tell by that look but he was having fun! :)



he is so beautiful to me! :)



He would go down the big bouncy slide to get out and then CLIMB back in! His therapist would be so proud! :)



This would have been a GREAT shot if not so blurry from bouncing goin on!


Bounce, bounce, bounce!



again blurry but had to get shots of him bouncing with his buddy Drake and Mrs. Shannon!



Doesn't he look cute walkin around! :)



So fun mama! :)



This is a great action shot and NOT blurry! YAY. I dont know if you can tell but he is grinning big time :)


He was NOT cooperating and smiling for pics today!


This was close! :) he was bein so funny :)



I LOVE this shot! BIG GRIN! :)



Look at us climbing! Our pants came unsnapped! LOL I was so impressed the he climbed up there and went down the BIGGEST bouncy slide! One time he slipped once up there and went down HEAD FIRST and Me and a dad who was there took off running to the end of slide but there was a large soft bouncy platform at the bottom and he was grinning from ear to ear rolling on it! :) heehee


See how good his is doing climbing! :) I am so proud! :) I know you can't tell!



It was such a fun morning and then we went to lunch with his friend Drake and his mama! Came home to nap and he slept hard! :) He would not wake up for his first therapy! heehee We tried and tried. I may have to plan make up sessions on days other than Jumping Jupiter field trip day! lol

Jeremiah sweetie, we can't wait to hold you in our arms and bring you home sweet baby boy! Right now I would give anything for new pictures of you! :) I wonder how you are, what you are feeling, thinking, how much you can or can't see, what your smile looks like in person, if your little belly button is an innie or an outie, do you have Irish toes, what does your little neck smell like, and so much more. Pictures are all I have of you at this point but we love you so much! We are doing all we can to get there quickly. While you wait, catch my kisses in the wind sweet boy!

Amazing how time can fly! He's such a little man these days.
That is awesome seeing the pics of him climbing up that wall to slide down on the bouncy slide! I'm sitting here with a huge proud smile on my face too, Tami! You've got a little tiger on your hands. Tiger/Panda Boy?! LOL

Kisses in the Wind

KISSES IN THE WIND
I hold you in my heart and touch you in my dreams.
You are here each day with me, at least that's how it seems.

I know you wonder where we are... what's taking us so long.
But remember child, I love you so and God will keep you strong.

Now go outside and feel the breeze and let it touch your skin...Because tonight, just as always, I blow you kisses in the wind.

May God hold you in His hand until I can be with you.
I promise you, my darling, I'm doing all that I can do.

Very soon, you'll have a family for real, not just pretend.But for tonight, just as always, I blow you kisses in the wind.


May God wrap you in His arms and hold you very tight.
And let the angels bring the kisses that I sent to you each night.


When Love Takes You In!
