Noah's Adoption Hearing!!

We had a very special day today! Noah is officially (99%)- (still have a signature that will be done in the next week) a part of our family!! YAYYY!!!
Though he has always felt and been a part of our family it is nice to have all the formalities over!! We have been given the most precious boy...Thank you God and Thank you Noah's Birth Family!! We love you!!

Here are some great pictures from today!!























Now we are going to a nice restaurant to celebrate!
(Thanks for the flowers and balloon Granny and Papah)

Hair cuts and bath time!

Getting ready last night for Noah's big day today...

Misc. pictures

Lots have happened in the last few weeks:
Trip to Seattle and Portland with just (Crazy) Mommy and the boys (2 year old and 2 month old)...we visited Aunt Melissa and Uncle John. We also got to visit my good friends from college the Andersons, Anna and Michelle! Thanks guys. Our purpose was to go to the Women of Faith Conference but plans changed a little, but we still enjoyed meeting up with Aunty Erin and Grandma (Cross) for a fun dinner Downtown Portland with their friends! We also made a major purchase down there which will have it's own post in a while. :)
Home: A day after we got home all three of us world travelers ended up with a cold...pretty minor for Mateo and I, but Noah has had a really hard time! After about a week of it he ended up with Bronchialitis with a not so fun doctors visit. One nebulizar breathing treatment and nose and throat irrigation later...not so happy baby and mommy. They sent us home with some medicine this last weekend and now though his cough and wheeziness is doing mostly better...he has a upset tummy! Throwing up and the runs. Through all of this he is still smiling and that will be in the next post. Such a precious child....OH DID I MENTION HE IS SLEEPING THROUGH THE NIGHT!!! It is sooo wonderful to sleep...He has been sleeping through the night for about 3 weeks now and oh what a difference...8-9 hours of wonderful sleep!

Here are some pictures...

Mateo's first try at chopsticks...he saw Mommy "trying" it and had to try too.





OK...brace yourselves...this is the really truth of what happens when Daddy dresses Noah to go out! he he he

Talking away...and wiggling away






Really sleeping, both fell asleep gazing at each other.


Granny came over before her trip so we could watch BooRay and drive her to the airport. She went to Arizona with Papa.

We are both wiped here at the end of the day...

A new vest from Tombstone that Granny and Papa brought for Mateo to go with his cowboy boots.
