By the Hardest...FAMILY PICS!!!!

So we were blessed with Family Pics today by a friend who sent us money specifically for the purpose of getting a picture of The Family Four!  Our first, last and only professional photo since Noah came home!  Part of the reason we have not done so sooner is NOAH and how he can be difficult!  LOL  Part was money.  Well, money for the package was taken care of by our friend who recommended Portrait Innovations :)  and then we were able to get the cd because of another generous person!  We are quite blessed and I think in years to come it will mean alot to Noah to have these pictures!  I feel so bad we never did it before and I never got 2 year old pics of him done.  They wanted to do a 3 year picture with a number block but he would not cooperate.  The photographer we got was not to be honest very good with kiddos and you add that to Noah and already and her trying to put him where she wanted him in her little set idea of a family photo and it was tears and no fun!  But finally she went and got 2 other photographers, leave it to us to need THREE photographers at one time trying to get Noah to take a good picture!  LOL  I will NEVER forget this photo shoot!  lol  I really liked one of them and have said we will bring the boys in after Jeremiah is home and get some shots with her.  She finally through acrabatics and all kinds of such got us The Family Four Official Family Photo!  The package came with a 10 x 13 so as soon as I can get a frame for it it will be up on the Mantle!  It is neat that you get your actual pics that day!  So without further ado I present to you...

THE FAMILY FOUR!

So, what do you think???

And some other shots made! :)

love this :)

THIS ONE is priceless! :) well, aren't they all :)

He was wanting to go bye bye

you can see he wants to be upset but extra 2 photographers are starting to get to him

lets climb up mama!

lol 

:)

I am so blessed!

He was so scared

These pics were so hard to get, they kept wanting pics of him alone, well he wanted me, so they put me in a chair, and had me put him on the front of my lap and then put a black cape over my arms and hands, I am holding him!  In some of them on the side you can see a bit of my hair that fell into picture! 

Please keep praying for fundraisers :) We are still bare minimum of $1500 away from what we need for our trip.  We leave 3 weeks from today!!!!  Please pray for our $5 fundraiser and if you or anyone you know can spare $5 please go to our JEREMIAH'S 100 GOOD WISHES SITE and leave a good wish and a few dollars :)  EVERY PENNY HELPS!!!!!!!!!!!!  Also, if you are into Pillowcase Dresses for your little girls then my friend at Soldier Girl Creations has offered $10 for every dress she sells to Jeremiah and 15 percent of any other sales!  These dresses are so sweet :)  This is the one she donated to our craft sale so you have an idea of what they are like :)

GUESS WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

More and more about our trip is coming to light as days go on, today we found out about the plans for us for the day between pickup and AIT :)  Here is the email from the orphanage to our agency :)

the family can meet the Dr.
in  university(we will go with them togother)
to understand more medcial status
they can talk with Dr.directly
and during the long travel
the family can know more how to care of Liang- Chung well
we prepare more medical reports
and will give the family when they come here

I am beside myself to have ANY more information about what all has happend to Jeremiah's little brain and body over the past 2 years and 2 months!  This is an amazing opportunity I think!  I can't wait, though yes , it makes me a bit nervous what will the doctors think of us and all but to be able to learn as much as possible to share with the doctors and Shriner's when we arrive home will be amazing! :)  GOD is so blessing us in this.  So many times when children with special needs are adopted you have very sketchy information but the ability to have more to share will be wonderful!  I am praying now God will give us some questions to ask since we will have this opportunity!  I am PRAYING that we can understand each other and all.  I am also praying about seeing orphanage staff and all the next day.  I know when we got Noah if he had seen them the next day he would have lunged at them and it would have been separation all over again!  I am not sure what Jeremiah's personality or mentality is so this could be very rough, or it might be fine.  Praying now it is all fine and that he will be happy to be with a family by then and won't want to go back to them.  

We are getting so close!  PLEASE keep praying.  IF my budget is right and IF we do no shopping or anything above and beyond we only need around $1500 more!  ONLY $1500 in 3 weeks!  We leave 3 weeks from TOMOROW!  WOW!!!  Please be praying as we are having difficulty getting a location for our Rummage Sale/hot dog and canned drinks Sale that we want to have on the 22nd and for a Bunco Night on May 28th!  PLEASE PRAY God will send perfect locations and PHYSICAL helpers!  We thought about a car wash but are not sure we can get location, help etc and would have to do that when Bobby was working so that means even more help.  

I find myself gazing at Jeremiah's Pictures constantly! :)  The $5 fundraiser has brought in some donations!  Thank you to those who have donated $5 or more and then shared with 5 friends!  If you want to be a part of the $5 fundraiser please go to JEREMIAH'S 100 GOOD WISHES PAGE  and leave a good wish for Jeremiah and a picture for the Virtual quilt if you want and whatever donation you feel so led :)  

Oh my sweet frogie boy!  We are so jumpin for joy today to find out we can meet the doctors that literally SAVED your life and have cared for you to the best of their ability since your birth!  WHAT an amazing blessing God has given us! :)  We love you sooo much baby.  Hang on tight, we are coming and we will smother your beautiful little face with kisses like you won't believe! :)  While you wait for that day sweet little man catch my kisses in the wind!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
