Sunday Snapshot - Ivy

SWEET Ivy is 7 years old, almost 8.  Born May 2004.

Her special need is a foot deformity, I have not seen her feet, she is standing and does have shoes on.

I wish you could see in full just how precious this little one is.  But you get the idea right?

Darling!!

Look at that smile

One more of her flashing the peace sign.  I think this is my favorite picture, I see a glimpse of her little personality.

My friend Myriam at Agape Adoptions has a video of her and says she is absolutely precious!!

Praying for you Ivy. . . that your forever family finds you very soon.

Happy 12th Birthday

 My first born, my baby is now 12 . . . OMG!!  

Not sure what is scarier: the time that seems to have flown by or the fact that in one year I will be a mom to a teenager???

This sweet little baby boy checked into this world 12 years ago at 9 pounds 7 ounces 19 inches long.  

Yes, he was a perfect little chunk of love. 

Zachary's  birth announcement 

Turned into my handsome biggest kid.  

Zach we are so proud of who you are and what you are becoming.  

I love this kid with all my heart.

Nathaniel

My boy has been sick.  ASTHMA is kicking his butt.

 He missed all but one day of school last week.  The only reason I sent him that day was because it was my afternoon in his classroom (mamma bear was there to keep an eye on her little cub).

 There were several days that we were up every 2 hours giving him his "puffer"  far too often I know.  Better than the alternative.

I feel for all you with new wee ones in the home.  This night time stuff SUCKS!!

and in case you did feel sorry for me and the every 2 hour wake up call, things are getting better we are up to 4 hours between puffs.

Things are looking better now on day 11. After a round of steroids and and lots of movies.  

I think just maybe we have a handle on things.

Happy Valentines Day

George - NO LONGER ON THE SHARED LIST

George is a shy little boy, His paper work states that he is introverted and shy and does not talk very much.  Though the pictures tell me something different.  He looks like a silly, playful  little fellow.   See for yourself.

He likes to sing himself to sleep at night. Oh to be a fly on the wall listening to that would be absolutely precious!

ADVOCATING!!!

I am very excited!!!

I have been feeling this tug...no, NEED.  

Need to do SOMETHING.  

for the 163 Million Orphans.

So a good friend of mine who happens to have her own adoption agency, is letting me advocate for some  kiddos, Chinese Kiddos.

We decided to start with some of the older boys.  Really, just a starting place.  

Sounds good to me.

This may turn into a new blog but for now I am staying close to home and using my family blog.  

These sweet boys are all Chinese and on the Shared list. Special Focus.

Hoping with our efforts we can find some families for these Orphans.

Myriam and I at the White Swan -2008-

Yous see Myriam found my baby girl for me and I know first hand that she is GOOD at what she does.  

I am off to look over these boys so I can start posting.  In order to comply with CCW*A I will not be able to share an entire face.  I hope to get creative.  

Come back and check out these kids.
