Hospital waiting, Road trip, Mamaw and Papaw etc :)

Friday we had to take my mother to the hospital to have some heart testing done. Praise God these tests came out GREAT and she does NOT need a heart cath or further heart testing or surgery for heart. She does have to have some more testing of other kinds done to be cleared for hip replacement surgery on the 21st of October. Anyway, here are some pics of Noah and I as we waited in the waiting room! This is what comes from FORGETTING you cleaned out the bottom of the stroller and FORGOT to put new toys in there and didn't bring anything with you! LOL

Luckily we had Elmo who rides in the car alot and of course we played with a package of peanut butter ritz bitz! heehee then opened them and made a huge mess playing and eating. That took a good bit of time :) heehee

Here is Nanny (my mama) waiting to be called!

The next day Noah, Celeste, Millie and I traveled to Mississippi to meet My Uncle Harold/Noah's Papaw and my Aunt Dorothy/Noah's Mamaw. Aunt Dorothy is my mother's sister and she is comin to stay with us until my mother's surgery. She wanted to spend time with mama before and during the surgery. Uncle Harold gave me away and sometimes I call him Uncle Daddy :) heehee They are like grandparents to Noah so he calls them Mamaw and Papaw :) Uncle Daddy is also who Jeremiah is named for Jeremiah Harold Sisemore! I can't WAIT for them to meet! :)

Noah sittin on the car waitin to for Mamaw and Papaw to meet us! We met about halfway between our house and theirs :) Not too bad a trip.

Daddy and Noah, will be so glad when I can get him to smile at camera, he will till the light comes on and then stops!

Noah's name on the wall in Sunday School :)

I so wish I had new pics to post of Jeremiah but I don't :( I did get a mini update on him. He has 8 teeth on top and 6 on bottom! Wow! He may have all his teeth by the time I get him. They have lowered to dosage of one of his medicines which is good for that medicine to be as little as possible. They said they are using some support devices to put him in different positions which is good too! I had to post at least one picture of him so I am posting the header to the fundraising blog :)

PLEASE pray for us as we prepare for a benfit concert. If you are local or willing to travel to LA to donate your performance please let me know :) We are praying for Christian singers, bands, signers, dancers, comics, etc. :)

Jeremiah honey, we are working sooo hard to come up with anything we can that will help raise funds to get you home quicker! We love you more than you can possibly know. This is soooo hard knowin you are across the ocean and aching so hard to hold you, work with you, massage your muscles, and care for your every need and not being able to do that. I sooo wish I could come and get you NOW, come and hold you and see you face to face and feel you snuggle against me :) HOLD ON baby boy!!!! Until I get there catch my kisses in the wind!

Noah Update :) and Jeremiah news, and other

Panda Boy is sick and I took him to the pediatrician today. It has been awhile since we have been in and since Noah has been home just over a year now they height and weight and I KNEW that Boy was gettin big! He was 27 pounds 7 ounces and 35 inches tall! I am not sure if she measured him right or not because that is a HUGE jump from the last time he was measured so WOW! But it is the official weigh in so to speak so we are goin with it! I do know that height wise he is startin to grow out of some of his 18 months clothes and I am needin to find 24 month and 2T things! He can still wear some 12 month bottoms and 18 month tops, but if its 1 peice the 18 months are not fitting! We just had Noah's yearly evaluation on Monday for the Early Steps program to see if he still qualifies for servies and if so which ones. I am praying they continue everything and maybe add stuff, but not take away. He is doing so well and I say lets NOT mess with it! He is tryin so hard to talk and it is so cute when he babbles away :) Sometimes you know what he is sayin and sometimes he could be talkin to Mars for all I know! heehee The other day he saw a zebra print fur pillow in a store and said what sounded like "AW SWEET!" I proceeded to bop 21 year old big sis Celeste on the head with said pillow! heehee Here are some pics of my Panda Boy Noah I thought you might like to see :) He is so cute :)


This was tonight and he was sittin with me in my recliner and I was fixin to upload a few things on to computer and he wanted me to take his picture :) You can kinda see he doesn't have quite as much spark in those eyes cuz of feelin bad. He is now sleeping beside me in my chair as I type!

I LOVE that boy!



This was Sunday at Church at a building fund fundraiser dinner :) He is sittin like a big boy! heehee

acting cute :)

He is lookin so mature to me lately and beautiful as always :)

Please keep our Target Gift Card Fundraiser for Jeremiah in prayer! I extended it till Thanksgiving Day to give time to get the word out and for folks to donate and all. What better thing to get just after thankgiving? I figure the winner can use it for Christmas Shopping. I am praying I can get some things donated to do an online yard sale that someone mentioned to me. Someone else mentioned doing an auction where I had a reserve price that I would not take less than and folks could bid on items. Not sure I can figure out how to do something like that, or if I can get anything donated to use for that but I am praying about it. Please see Jeremiah's Fundraising blog for more information on this and our Puzzle Fundraiser! For each $2 donation to the puzzle fundraiser folks will put a piece of the puzzle in and have their name on the back :) We will glue it all together at the end and frame it and the back will be covered in names of folks who helped bring Jeremiah home! :) Can't wait for it to get enough donations to be done :)

Thought I would share this header thing I tried to make for the fundraisinig blog! :) It is not as good as most folks but with such a cute subject you can't go too wrong!

Noah and Daddy :) so sweet :)

Me and my binky boo! I am so blessed with a great husband! It was a bit windy out!

This was our attempt to get a picture of the three of us! Noah was distracted! heehee

We put Noah on the saddle we saw but he did NOT think it was near as cute an idea as we did! He would NOT stay on it!

This past Saturday our Exchange Student/daughter for a year Millie went to the local High School Homecoming Dance! It was an American Experience and nothing she has experienced before. In Taiwan they do not date till Colllege. Though this "date" was his parents picking her up and taking them out to eat all together and then dropping them and the school dance and then picking them up, but still way more than anything she was use too! She looked very pretty, don't you think??


Celeste got to experience the little sister thing :) Millie asked her to do her hair and makeup! Course with our heat and humidity her hair was totally straight again by end of the night!

This is her date's mother pinning this homecoming thing on her!

This thing was long! I told her to hang it on her wall after the dance!


This was so cute :) We were babysitting that night and Noah and his friends are watching Millie and her date and his parents leaving! It was just so cute watchin them that I had to get a picture!!! :)

I can't wait for the day that I can take pics of Noah and Jeremiah together! Please if you have a minute, say a prayer for Jeremiah, for our fundraising, and for MIRACLES to happen and happen quickly! :)

Jeremiah sweet frogie boy! We love you more than you will ever know! We can't wait to hold you in our arms and bring you home and experience your days, your nights, your ups, your downs, your laughs, your tears, and to have just one of those amazing smiles of yours directed at us! :) Hang tight baby boy, We are coming as soon as we can, until then, catch my kisses in the wind!

PICS OF MY BOYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have been sick, and on top of that have been kinda down because of Money for the adoption of Jeremiah and TRYING not to worry how we are gonna raise all we need and quicker cuz he is waiting and waiting. He is 17 months old now! I can't believe it has been 5 months since I first laid eyes on his face! Today I got on because I knew we should be getting pictures SOON and I wanted to just check IN CASE! Well, sure enough I got the golden email! :) pics and an update :) WOOHOOO :) I also have some pics of my Noah to share as well :) I am one blessed mama to call these 2 beautiful angels my sons! I can't wait for the day I can post a picture with BOTH of them in the picture together :)

Another shot of my baby boy! Oh how I ache to reach through the screen and just pick him up! :)




I am a bit worried about the hands. They said in the update his hands and arms are rigid. I know we will be doing some exercising those hands I bet!

Noah put himself in that box! He was just a grinning until we grabbed the camera!

This is Noah with the Grandparents day card he made his Nanny! Celeste colored a bit too!

Happy Grandparents day Nanny!

This is him holding the card before he gave it to her :)
