Love of Noah

Just thought I would share some pictures of my beautiful boy just because I love him! :) I hope you like these as much as I do :)


Noah talkin on mama's phone!

Here he is figurin my phone out! He loves to snitch it! :)

Lookin up at Daddy! :) so sweet :)

MY BABIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

He never sucked his hands before but lately he is doin that but its more a gnawin on them than sucking! He has now got 5 teeth cutting at the same time. The 4 molars are still not all the way in yet and now we have a eye tooth coming.

This facial expression is weird :) hehee but yes Panda Boy is still a table boy! :) heehee chases the dogs in and out of there :) heehee

This shot is soo cute to me! :) He was in the kitchen watchin the the puppy :)

so cute! :) He has the cutest sense of humor :)

You can tell he has a cold! not a good shot of his nose! But he is cute here. You can see how bad the ezcema is on his little cheeks

Here we are in the tub with our ear plugs in to protect them because of the tubes! He LOVES his waterplay. oops I mean bath! lol He thinks its water play! :) My bathroom will never be the same as pre Noah! :) heehee

Hope you enjoyed this glimpse of Noah! :) He brings me such joy that I can't even describe! I am so thankful that I was blessed with this amazing gift!

Kid City and ReAdoption HELP

Today was our first day meeting with the stay at home moms playgroup! :) They met at a place called KID CITY! This is a 4 story playscape at a local church open to the public for free. There is a starbucks on site as well but it also has snacks and juice and all kinds of stuff for purchanse. The playscape was not exactly toddler appropriate though parts of it were doable and it was tall so I could stand and walk in parts of it and climb and crawl with Noah! LORD HELP MY BODY! lol :) It was nice to meet some other moms from around the area and a couple of others with toddler boys just a bit younger than Noah! :) He really seemed to have a good time! There was a part of it with balls of all kinds, soccer, basketball, kickball, regualar kids balls etc. He LOVES balls so he was thrilled with that! :) I have some pictures to share below :) Hope you enjoy them :)

now for the ReAdoption HELP part! So when we got home with Noah we called our homestudy agency to do our readoption our Taiwan agency said we needed to do and were told that in Louisiana we dont need to do that and we need a recognition of adoption. So we have been working towards finding someone to help us with that and then today find out, no we need a readoption. UGGGH So then they are talking a total new adoption process as if he had never been adopted, that he is not our son as far as LA is concerned and such. I am FLIPPIN OUT! I am told to contact homestudy agency again, who say they dont understand why we would have to start all over but if so then we need a lawyer and not them and they give me a name to contact and such. So we are trying to figure out what to do. Basically they are sayin we have to do it as a private adoption but its really not, and then its not an agency cuz our Taiwan agency is not in Louisiana! I am like good grief. We have a finalized adoption from the court in Taiwan and they gave us our son! What's the big deal! So now I am despretly trying to figure out Louisiana Adoption law when it comes to IR4 visa and what we need to do. So I come across some stuff that says we need to do a Finalization of adoption which they say is a readoption, but not like starting all over and not needing the $3000 retainer lawyer. I have NO CLUE at this point what is write to do. I just know I want my adoption legal EVERYWHERE. I want my baby to have his citizenship and his Louisiana Birth Certificate and that be that. I want him to have all he needs and I dont like feeling like I can't do what he needs. I mean I know we will it is just really confusing right now. Have any of you adoption buddies out there done a readoption? especially if it was on an IR4? What was the process? did a lawyer go to court with you? any advise is most welcome. I wish I knew someone who has been through this in Louisiana! Please pray all this gets straightened out and that we can raise money quickly if we do have to do the whole thing over and HOW to do that and and and... Hey I may sound nutty but you should have heard me before my friend Lora calmed me down! Thanks Girl! I love ya and am so thankful for ya! Anybody got any miracles up their sleeve please send them my way!!!! Also please please continue to pray for my friends Shonette and Darrell and baby faith! They have to come up with alot of funds very quickly to get this little angel home! Thank you so much to those who have taken my $10 challenge to help them! Keep it up!

Balls, balls, balls! :) Can you see the big grin???


I stold Jei Jei's hat! :) heehee

Challenge 1750

Ok, yall,

I have a challenge for you! Who among those reading this blog today has EVER had a donation given to them to adopt a child? Who has had someone by a candy bar, a pizza card, a magazine subscription, girl scout cookies, etc from your child? I am sure most everyone can say they have at some point had someone sacrafice to help support them in some way. My challenge is to EVERY ONE in the sound of my words to dig deep and donate to HELP BRING FAITH HOME! Faith is laying in an orphanage in Ukraine. She has Down Syndrome and needs her family and intervention. Go to her mommy Shonette's blog and chipin EVEN if it is only $1.00 it will help. Shonette's husband made a promise to God that they would NOT go in to debt even temporarily for this adoption. This family has been walking door to door selling pizza cards and are planning more and more fundraisers and to work hard. We are on a time crunch and need $1750 by MONDAY! PLEASE PLEASE consider helping out this family and this little girl. This is a military family! If you enjoy the freedom you have in this country because of Darrel and the other men like him, donate! I give a specific challenge to EVERY adoptive mother that reads this! I challenge you EACH to donate at least $10 to help Faith come home! Think about for one second what it would have been like if something had happend financially to delay you on your journey and you NEVER held your baby in your arms! We all have been where this family is! PLEASE lets get together and help them. Lets show them that the adoptive community cares about each other! For any local friends and church family I challenge you too! How many times have we depended on the kindess of strangers to buy from our kids so they could go to camp! This is not about sending a child to camp, it is about saving a babies life! About building a family! PLEASE HELP! Follow one of the links in this post or click the button on my sidebar.

Kindermusik! First official class!

Today was Noah's first official class of Kindermusik! Kinda a mommy and me type thing! :) We have been to a preview class with another group of children last week but that class was full so this was our first time at the class we will be in! Samuel, the little one I keep will be coming as well. The instructor was great with him during parts where it would be hard for me to do both boys! :) Anyway here are some pictures and at the bottom is a video! And YES I AM GALLOPING and I am not believing it myself but I am posting it! My friend Jackie's posts about mom's bein in pictures and such with their children as really spoken to me! Even though I dont like the way I look, I want Noah to know Mama loved him and acted like a nut for him! :) heehee Hope yall enjoy! Dont laugh too hard! :) heehee



He loved it when they would say Yay and clap! :) So cute!


He has fallen in love with the teacher! :) so much fun!


Both boys are still havin a bit of a hard time with rollin the ball! LOL Noah wants to either hold it or throw it! Samuel just wants to keep it! heehee

My wonderful photographer JeiJei/Celeste got this sweet shot of Noah lookin over my shoulder at her! Look at the face, a cross between fear, excitement and I am not sure what! heehee He was a bit overwhelmed but is really getting into it the more we do :)

this is hard to see but he has a sweet grin on his face :)

Enjoy this video of our day! I can't wait till the end of May when this semester of classes ends. I want Celeste to come with us again and take pics and video so we can see the difference in how they do and how much they have learned and all! :)

PLEASE HELP MY FRIEND HELP an Angel!

Hi all,

I am coming to you today and I am asking you to PLEASE pray about and consider helping my friend Shonette to help bring home an angel girl that she is trying to adopt! This little baby girl has Down Syndrome and she needs the love of her Mother's and Father's Arms asap! :) Please even if you can only give $1 it can help. If you will email me childofmyheart@aol.com I can give you more information on how to help! We are trying to raise $2000.00 by Monday to get the ball rolling! PLEASE please reach deep down in your heart and find room to reach out to someone and help them! If you have children, think how blessed you are by them and give! If you have a husband or wife think how blessed you are to have their love and give. Think about this little baby girl in a foreign world with no mother's arms. Think about a country where she will be put in an institution to die if she is not adopted, where she will never know the love of family, where she will never have the opportunity to reach her full potential and GIVE! Yes, I am layin it on thick, BUT it is all true!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE PLEASE help. If you do nothing else PLEASE pray for my friend, her family , and her baby girl across the ocean! I thought I would leave you with some pictures of Noah, my panda boy that God bridged the ocean to bring home! Without help from people like YOU Noah would still be without a family and I would not have a baby boy to love!

IN THE RED, WHAT a doctor's visit!

Hi all,

Thanks for those who have been praying and checking in on Mr. Noah! :) We went to the doctor this morning and yes he has pink eye and they say in BOTH eyes! Not sure why they call it pink eye because his eyes are red and the lower lid are BRIGHT BRIGHT RED and goopy! One eye is worse than the other but both are not good. Prescriptions to take care of that. So Noah awakes this morning feverish and fussier than ever. They exam him and he has another sinus infection and also bad bronchitis with wheezing again. They decided to give him a breathing treatment there! I told them that he hates it but dont think they quite expected what happened! heehee So the nurse hooks it up, puts mask on him and he at first is in a kinda of shock state I guess cuz we have never done it somewhere else ya know. So he at first is cryin tears and just a little cry and then starts SCREAMING big time. She leaves! LOL I was like THANKS! SO I begin the exhausting battle of trying to get him to let me do it and him squirming and kicking and pulling it off and lookin at me with those eyes to HELP HIM and dont do this to him :( tears me up when I have to do something he doesn't like for his own health :( So then another office lady comes in and she is tryin so hard to help, she brings a dum dum lolipop NOPE not working, she takes the mask off and just try blowin in his face, he gets worse tryin to get away from it. I think I ended up breathing more medicine than he did! finally I had to hold him and she would help hold and wave it by his mouth and nose. So then they tell me he is back to every 4 hours at this point! So I am in for some major work outs to come. They are saying they think it may have been allergy induced with all the pollen and yuck here in Louisiana and he is just not use to it yet. He has never been here before in the spring. They said it may be a good year home before his body and immune system get use to all that is here. They are still not saying for positive he has asthma for life and I so pray he doesnt. Anyway, they are a wonderful office of wonderful folks and they really seem to love Noah! :) It is amazing. He had to get a shot, which he did NOT like and then we came on home. He is actually napping so this is good. Please keep him in prayer that he gets over all this quickly. Still have NO CLUE where he could have got pink eye but they said nothing to worry about. My eyes are kinda itchy but I wonder if it is my mind!

no pics right now but I will try to get some later today if little man is feeling better.

we send yall love and blessings and KISSES IN THE WIND
