Covered in flour

Well, I am covered in flour! I am baking like crazy! It is funny how much harder it is to bake on this level with Noah around than it was when we were baking to sell things to bring him home! heehee :) The mega blocks now have flour in them! Sorry no pics as camera battery had the nerve to die. I will try to get some pics tomorow! Anyway, Please be in prayer for us as we try to bake our hearts out and come pu with ideas of things to bake, good prices to ask and get ready for the sale. Pray that I can do a good job of all this and keep Noah entertained and close by though not close to the oven! Also please pray that I can do it with the house not getting too messed up. A lady is coming tomorow night to meet me. My friend keeps this lady's baby but my friend wont be able to because of medical reasons for a couple months and she thought I might want to keep the baby for money for the adoption. Sooo, we will see what tomorow night brings when I meet baby and his mom! Please be in prayer for us for this:

Also we can use the table for play-do, and other fun things :)

One day he grabbed it before I could cut it and did ok so I was like well ok! heehee He can say nana for banana and after a friend had her daughter on video saying Ba and then nana I started trying that and so I say ba and he says ba and I say nana and he says it , but he WONT say it all together! lol

PLEASE keep Jeremiah in your prayers for his health and all. Every time I see him I want to get him home quicker and quicker! The doctors and therapist here are anxious too. I have it all lined up and when they see his pics and video's they can't wait to get their hands on him and work with him and such! :) PLEASE be in prayer for our fundraisers! We have a Bake Sale coming up here locally on August 29th! PRAYING it does really well! We are also working on some other ideas and praying we can find a grant that is actually still funded at this point. :)

My Exchange Student took this picture! When she was done I said did he smile and she said YES!!! Well, he didnt even look at the camera! lol he was distracted by other kids but its ok!

Look how big my little man is! He is climbing pretty good but you have to be CLOSE by just in case still! :)

Here is one of the flyers for the Bake Sale we are having on August 29th for Jeremiah! I know you can't see it too good. We are blessed that a business close to a really busy place has offered us to do this. The last time one was done there they raised $700. Alot of folks donated to the sale for that family, so please pray folks will donate baked goods to ours, and others will come and buy!

Millie's lunch box after I packed it this morning! She LOVES High School Musical! :) I am in search of good deals on anything with it on it for her for Christmas :)

Millie just before we went outside to wait for the bus :)

We were rushing to be out their on time and she had to put her belt on out there :) heehee and then the driver was MUCH later than she originally said :) lol

Millie getting on the bus! :) FIRST time I have ever put a child on the bus! :) She had a wonderful first day, already has 3 friends at school and some at Church tonight :) She is doing so well :) I so admire her! I would NOT be doing so well at her age going to another country! I am very proud of my daughter for the year :)

As I come to a close of this picture sharing post I am sad to not have pictures of my Jeremiah to share as I do of my other kiddos! My life in ways feels so full and joyful with Celeste, Noah, Millie and my sweet hubby Bobby, my mom, friends, Church, etc. and it is, BUT a part of me is missing. My Jeremiah waits a world away and each day it aches more and more that he is there and I can't hold him, touch him, smell him, comfort him, give him his medicine, talk to his therapist and learn what I can do daily to help him. Find the best docs, the best everything to give him the best I can. It is amazing to me how quickly I forogt how HARD this is, waiting, this being a mama to a baby across the ocean. Fundraising is so overwhelming at times, I look at how much we need, I look at uscis paperwork that NEEDS to be filed and KNOW I dont have the money to file it NOW and it needed to already be gone, I loook at it all with earthly eyes and I feel like I just dont know what to do, but then I remember as I was led to share with someone else today, we see through a glass but dimly, the Lord sees all! HE KNOWS where EVERY penny is coming from. He is moving on Jeremiah's behalf in areas I have no clue! I KNOW this! I KNOW he cares. So as long as I can hold onto more of what I KNOW and less of what I SEE then I should be ok, right?!

Jeremiah my sweet frogie boy. Mama soooooo loves you. I so want to come and pick you up this instant and rock you and sing to you and tell you how much you are loved and adored. Honey boy we are working so hard and praying so hard and we will be to you as soon as we possilby can. Hang tight little man and catch my kisses in the wind!
