Highs and Lows

We have had some lows and some highs in the past few weeks. We have spent alot of time in hospitals with different ones and then the loss of Bobby's Mother and now just heard today of the loss of Bobby's close friends mother. Bobby and Robert have known each other for years and years. There is sadness and grief to deal with but we know where she is and she is out of pain and hospitals finally so we are trying to find joy in it for her! Noah has been a huge source of Joy for us all as he was for his grandma even when she was in bad pain she always had a smile for her little grandson! :) They played together in the hospital just hours before her death. And oh how she loved our sweet Jeremiah still waiting in Taiwan for us. We received video of him today and she would have LOVED to see that video! She prayed for him daily and we so wish she could have seen his homecoming as she did Noah's! She was waiting for us as we came off the plane with Noah :) as was my mom and lots of other family and friends. We have a family reunion already scheduled this weekend and she was to go with us. This is the first year since 1957 she will not be at the reunion. It will be Noah's first one there. We were all so excited about that and she would have bragged on Noah and shown him off. We will go and do so in her honor :) Here are some pictures and video to share some the highs and lows lately with us.

Daddy and Noah watching the dogs before leaving for Grandma's funeral.

Noah's first suit with vest, tie and long pants. Grandma would have loved him in this suit!

Another shot of Noah in his suit and you can see his black dress shoes like Daddy's




Noah's first time in a Limo sitting between mama and daddy. This reminded me so of riding in cabs in Taiwan since there were no car seats allowed. Noah is much more active this time :)

Noah in all his cuteness with blankie :) He has multiple blankies with different colors and such but they all have to be the same kind and feel the same way and be made the same. There are only a couple brands that he will use. If I find them on sale I scoop another up :) one for car, one for diaper bag, one for Church bag, one for bed, etc. heehee Jeremiah has one that is going out in his car package that was in his easter basket :) I will post pics of that tomorow :)

playing with the blankie :) what a grin :)

We were so blessed by our agency today! They sent us a video of Jeremiah :) They made a trip to Taiwan a couple weeks ago and this was made. He had been asleep and they had to wake him up to get this video. He is so tired. You can just see he wants to climb up in the nanny's arms and go to sleep. I was so excited to see this but boy does it make me want to get the funds even faster! So what do you think of Noah's baby brother?

Jeremiah my sweet froggie boy. mama loves you more each passing day as we work hard to get you home! We miss you so much and were so excited today to see video of you!! I can't wait to hold you close and smell you sweet scent that is all your own :) hang on sweet boy we are coming. Jesus will make way! until then baby catch mama's kisses in the wind.
