Not flesh of my flesh, nor bone of my bone; but, still miraculously, my own.
Never forget, for a single minute you didn't grow under my heart, but in it.

update on Jeremiah but no pics


update on Jeremiah! Lost more weight, head did not grow again.  Tryin not to worry about that!  They said :

"We are very grateful for the GREAT adoptive parents and their family members)! ! ! !"

That is  a direct quote!  So nice of them! I am honored they are giving us the pleasure to be his parents and they are grateful to us???  I can't believe we are only 3 weeks and 5 days from HOLDING HIM! We may sleep in airport and fast but we are gonna get that boy! ;)


Hang on little froggie boy!  Not much longer and you will be IN the picture for real, not just added in!  WE LOVE YOU!  Catch my kisses in the wind sweetie!

How many friends...

So on Facebook I have over 600 friends, here I have 71 friend following me and I follow the MAX number of blogs cuz it keeps telling to delete some to follow more.  I dont know what that max is but its alot.  And then I am on so many egroups and all where I have friends I pray for, laugh with, cry with, you name it!  So a friend came up with the $5 fundraiser.  She said if all your friends online would donate $5 each to the 100 Good Wishes Quilt and leave a good wish you would have MORE than you need.  $5 to help a firend does not sound like too much.  I have had folks so to me, I would help but we don't have hundreds of dollars.  Well, do you have $5?  Would you give up one lunch out, or in one friends case a startbucks trip she said to help a little boy experience a life time of love and family?  I know for some $5 truly is beyond reach and for you I say PLEASE PRAY and if you want , spread the word about our need.  So I pose the question to you my friends.

How many of you will donate $5 to JEREMIAH'S GOOD WISHES QUILT and then ask 5 of your friends to donate?  If even half of my friends will donate and even 1 of the 5 they ask donates we will have all we need to make our trip and bring this sweetie home!  It is very easy, just click the link for JEREMIAH'S GOOD WISHES QUILT or copy and paste this address in your browserhttp://onehundredgoodwishes.com/GoodWishes.aspx?u=fa9944f4-83ae-48e3-8feb-c2a7cc8bb5dd
And leave a good wish or a prayer for Jeremiah there and donate $5.

If you have drooled over our plate sales and said I wish I was close and could buy a lunch, Donate the $5 and as you eat your lunch at home think about Jeremiah :)

Thank you to all my friends, even if you are not able to donate!  I am blessed to have yall!

Please keep me in prayer for a new venture some online friends have suggested I do and I am trying.  I am working on with the help of a friend in marketing to make a pdf cookbook that will be for sale as a fundraiser!  Several have said they would buy it, so PRAYING it works out to be good.  Also be praying as I finish tkaing pics today of all our donations to sell and be watching for them and a couple giveawys to be posted :)

Off to start dishing up plates for today's Chilli pie Plate Sale! :)

Pics to share

Today is Mother's day at the FIRST Mother's Day since Bobby's Mom/Mawmaw passed away.  It was a hard day for Bobby and I both.  He has been thinking alot about her lately.  One day this past week he saw a billboard that said take your mom to Church this Mother's Day and it was so rough.  First year ever (other than military service) he has not been in Church with his mom on Mother's Day.  He had to work today so when he got off He and I and Noah took flowers to the grave together.  I did not take a camera because before hand I did not think about it, Thank God for my phone, as I looked upon this scene I KNEW that I had to freeze this moment in time and that for years to come this would be an amazing picture.  Father and son together in the moment.  It tears us both up that Mom will not know Jeremiah!  She knew about him, had herself worked to try and raise funds for him before her death.  We began the journey End of March last year and she went home to Jesus the end of June.  I like to think she is watching over us all and Jeremiah and may even know about our children to come, or at least might before we do!  

The blue flowers are because Blue was her favorite color.



Happy Mothers Day to all my bloggy friends!  Yall mean so much to me, I look at so many of you as family!  You fellow mommas have taught me so much about being a mother!


Yesterday was our boot at the poke salad festival here.  It was one of the MOST stressful days we have had in this journey.  It was windy beyond imagination.  The tent kept almost blowing AWAY!  And the items we were selling did blow away over and over and over and over again.  We would have to chase them down, and clean them off.  To make the stress of all that worse, not only did we not make a profit at all yesterday we LOST about $50.  I KNOW that Father God has got this, but boy is it hard to understand when we put so much time and energy and try so hard only to end up worse than before we started.  BUT God works ALL things for Good!  So we know there was something good that came out of it all.  I will be posting some items on the fundraising blog for sale as well as on my facebook!  Tomorow I have some shriners things to do to line up some things for Jeremiah and then I will be taking pictures of items to sell.  We had so many amazing things donated and someone needs to have those things! :)  I also will have a couple giveaway raffles going! :)  Please stay tuned :)

My Sticker  Panda Boy!  LOL

another shot of Noah!  That child will turn ANYTHING into a toy!  He is using a bag of mexican rice mix as a musical instrument in the store! :)  LOL

Some Shots of my baby girl!  She was being very playful in her dress she is gonna wear to graduation and was dancing all over the place and got even more fun when I pulled out the camera :)  It all started with her stepping over the vent in living room 






I guess that was her college graduation Photo shoot! ;)  I have about 30 shots!  Some she was dancing so fast are all blurry but they are all priceless! :)

My sweet Jeremiah!  I JUST LOVE this shirt they made him!  I love to SEE IT written by his picture I'M JEREMIAH!  YES YOU ARE LITTLE BUDDY! :)


Jeremiah my sweet frogie boy!  Today has been so rough not having you here but it was good in that I KNOW it is the LAST Mother's DAY you spend without your mommy :)  We are working so hard little man to get all the details together and final funds raised to come and get you!  I can't WAIT till June 7th Taiwan time when I get to hold you and see you face to face!  I can't wait to look into your eyes and see if you can see me!  I think so much about the "visual dysfucnition" and what that means and entails and I pray about it and I think and I study on ways to help your vision and ways to show you the world if your vision is not there like it should be.  There are so many unknowns about you sweet boy and I just dont know how to prepare, how to make sure I bring the right things and all and then I have to remind myself, that what we all need most is each other!  If I got the wrong kinda toys, we'll get the right things later, if I got clothes that are too big, we will put the smaller one on at home, if they are to small I will make do!  LOL  ALL that matters is we will be together and I can begin doing all in my power to be the best mommy to you I can possibly be!  I LOVE YOU with all my heart Jeremiah Harold Sisemore and no matter what you can or can't ever do it is ok!  You will be the best you can be and we will do all we can for you :)  Its getting closer sweet buddy!  Hang on tight!  and while you wait, catch my kisses in the wind! :)

Kisses in the Wind

KISSES IN THE WIND
I hold you in my heart and touch you in my dreams.
You are here each day with me, at least that's how it seems.

I know you wonder where we are... what's taking us so long.
But remember child, I love you so and God will keep you strong.

Now go outside and feel the breeze and let it touch your skin...Because tonight, just as always, I blow you kisses in the wind.

May God hold you in His hand until I can be with you.
I promise you, my darling, I'm doing all that I can do.

Very soon, you'll have a family for real, not just pretend.But for tonight, just as always, I blow you kisses in the wind.


May God wrap you in His arms and hold you very tight.
And let the angels bring the kisses that I sent to you each night.


When Love Takes You In!
