When Noah Eats
Today we decided to do some therapy. We had some noodles got them nice and cool and dumped them on Noah's tray. We put them on his head and face and hands. We threw them up in the air, we kissed the noodle and touched his cheeks with them fun fun. Every time I tried to put a tiny piece in his mouth he clenched. Finally he opened a little and I stuck a very tiny piece in there. Two seconds later he vomited his feed up. In pictures this is what happens every time Noah goes to eat.

Why does He love us?
OH MY GOSH! The more I see the more angry I get. WHY?WHY? WHY arent we doing anything? This wouldnt be allowed here! But because its in another country it is ok, let them take care of the problem we are tired of getting involved in other countries affairs? I have herd Americans get so upset when other Americans help in another country or adopt from another country. GROW UP! Most of those people talking dont lift a finger to help fellow Americans. How does God stand us? The more I see the more I wonder why God doesn't just wipe us out again. It's love I will never understand, to love us when we sit in warms houses eating any time of day we want any food we want watching smut on TV wasting the life He gave to us, wasting the life He gave His son to die for. That is insane! We arent worthy! No wonder people have a hard time believing in God, we cant love each other or ourselves or anyone different from us so how could there be a God who does.
We Americans though we are so great we throw a 20. in the plate and go to Olive Garden for lunch and then off to Starbuck's. Go enjoy your coffee.
Thank God that women in the video documented what she did. She didnt wait for someone else to do she became the change.

Makes ya think.....
"Sometimes I'd like to ask God why He allows poverty, famine, and injustice in the world when He could do something about it...but I'm afraid God might ask me the same question."

New and exciting News and 8 months home
Yesterday when I said it rains and pours and that means blessings too. I knew I was right. God is faithful and just. Last night we got the papers saying we can finalize our adoption from the adoption subsidy place. We are petitioning them to pay the attorneys fees as well. The attorney knocked over 300.00 off the price and told us that we didnt have to pay it first it was fine to have the subsidy pay it directly to them. No need in putting us out more than we already have. PTL! We even picked a date March 18th 2011 we will stand before a judge and Noah will be declared ours for keeps! Yay! We called the RV rental place and got the prices and will book soon.
The 2000. tax we were hit with was a former employers mistake and it was rectified. PTL!!!
Also Noah has been home 8 months today. Wow. How did that happen? It's weird. Some days it is like he was always here, other days I am shocked when I look at the calendar and it has been only so many months.
I hear that the first year of having a child with special needs is the hardest, maybe it is the same for adoptions. This has been a tough 8 months, but also a fabulous 8 months. I think Paul and I are both learning a lot. There are some days when I think what am I doing? But then I remember that God is in control and if I give it to Him then He will help.
I am so looking forward to heading to Texas. For Noah to have one name not 3. To have his mama and dada have the same last name without the oh, I know what she must have done looks. Or the I bet they all have different dads looks. I want to go there and feel the sun on my face, oh its been so long since I have seen the sun shine. I miss it. I want to get out of wearing many layers and bundling the kids up so you can only see their eyes. I can not wait to have 7 glorious days in an RV traveling. We are going to see the worlds biggests and other fun things. I am hoping to even see Graceland but we will see. I think my cabin fever is just taking over right now. Lol.
Oh well I am off to dream about sunny days and warm weather.

M needs our knees
I am asking all of you to take a knee for baby M and family. They need us to storm Heaven for them. M was born on 1/25 weighing 2.6lbs and 15.5 inches long. Her twin sister M2 is 4.6lbs 17 inches long. M has Trisomy 18. This family needs are prayers so much. Pray for peace, pray for wisdom, pray for miracles, pray for strength, complete healing on earth and God's will.
Pray for another family too, they just lost their baby. She was 14 weeks pregnant. Pray for peace and strength and that they will feel God during this time.
Also if you could pray for our family we are having some issues, sickness, financial crap, and other things.
I spoke to a good friend this morning and she said that this year she is signing all her emails and things with "Be Changed". How inspiring. I think this year I will keep that in mind and be changed and I hope you will gain inspiration from that as well.
Thank you so much.

When it rains it pours
But that also means blessings too. So I wait because this to shall pass.
First, a friend of mine had twins 2 days ago. Two precious beautiful girls. They were due in March. One may have a chromosome disorder. Please pray for them.
Second, Noah is vomiting again. He is gagging all the time now. He saw the new GI dr and he upped his one medicine because he gained weight. He is 20lbs and 28.8 inches long. Yay! The doctor did schedule a new scope to test for some things that may tell us why he wont eat. They cant get him in for until the very end of May though.
Next, AJ is really sick. She has a croupy cough and a lot of phlegm. She had a fever and we gave tylenol and motrin but it didnt help. We put garlic on her feet over night and that got rid of it. Sarie is freaking out more than usual and crying even more than usual how is that even possible? She has a runny nose and its making her freak out. Trinity is laying around with a slight cough. Cherry, dare I say it, is fine so far.
Paul couldnt go to work because our new blessing, the van, will not run right. Saturday night we put gas in it at a questionable station and it hasnt run right since. He took it to a shop earlier but no work means no pay. I am very afraid he will lose his job. The van will cost about 1000. to fix and will not be ready until maybe tomorrow but most likely Monday. We have bball practice tonight Trin cant go to and then basketball pictures saturday and I had a huge 2 day shoot saturday and Sunday.
Last night while exercising I noticed that my ribs and back were hurting on my left side. Today I am doubled over in pain. I cant stand up straight. No insurance means no help. I will have to just deal with it.
Please pray for our family. Thanks so much.

Prayer Requests
Please pray for a woman named Alice. She has had several miscarriages and now is pregnant again 11 weeks and they think she will be having another miscarriage soon. But our God is bigger than the doctors words, Amen! Please join me in praying for her and her family in this time. Specifically prayer for her spirit, body and baby.
Thank You!
Please also pray for Kaleb's family. Kaleb was the victim of shaken baby syndrome in 2007. I remember hearing about it right after he was shaken and we had his picture on our fridge. Well yesterday at 5pm he went to be with Jesus. Please lift up his mommy and daddy and brother in your prayers. Thank you.
Also please keep Noah in your prayers. he is once again sick and vomiting phlegm.
Thank you so much.
