Am i losing it or what?I cant sleep all i do is go down the list of things that need to be done for homestudy and dossier.I have some much needed remodels i want done before the visit to the house.Some of the things my hubby dont know how to do.My brother law Chad is comming next weekend to do some of them for me .Thank you Chad!
We have some screens that need repaired.Did ya know grasshoppers like to eat the mesh on screens?So we took them into the lumber yard and had them put wire screen in them.Chad will be putting the ones up high on.And Hubby will do the lower ones.Besides being on this blog this late at night i also started some of my much needed spring cleaning.It needs done and i cant sleep so why not.My family are all sound asleep and im resteless.I have been through 2 adoptions and Both times my anxiety of preparing and waiting has been through the roof.Please tell me this is normal?I so bad wish i could snap my fingers and home study was done .I wantto push all paper work and turn it over to agency asap.Now to find an agency to do homestudy.I will be calling around tomorrow to get this off the ground.I am so ready to open my arms wide for this beautiful sweet babe.As soon as i square things with an agnecy for homestudy i will be busy working on differnt resources for his sp needs.I did this with Landen and am so glad i did.ok enough babble time to finish cleaning my fridge its in the middle od the floor right now.

Good News
I am happy to report that Michaels stress test that showed a blockage was WRONG.He had a heart cath this morning and his heart is just fine.I didnt understand how he could have a blockage when he worries about his health and weight.I thought that was odd.
Today all i could think about is little Emanuel.I am going to go crazy waiting to hear something .My parents and i talked about him today while waiting on Michael to come out of surgery .My mom said she cant wait another baby boy to love and watch flourish.I pray we know something soon.

Possible adoption
I am praying this will happen a special beautiful 3 yr old boy in Liberia who is needing a home.I contacted AFAA about him.I am praying we are accepted and can bring this sweet baby home.He is special needs and absolutely ADORABLE.He would be a perfect fit in our family.I am ready to start a homestudy and get moving.The sooner we can get things moving the better.As soon as we know i will be busy lining up programs for him to help him blossom to his full potential once home.I am so excited have been every since i found out about him.I dont want to post alot yet until we know we can proceed but once i start i will be blogging like a mad woman .
health issues
Tommorrow my dearest husband is having a heart cath done.He is so so scared .We dont understand he eats well i mean not fatty he eats right.And he is an active man.He walks alot and always pride himself with goos health so we dont understand how in the world he has a blockage in his artery.Tomorrow at 6 am they will prep him for the surgery and i will be right their with him.
Landen also has been having some issues.He has not been eating very much and I got worried.So we wnt to the doctor and he agreed.Landen has been the same weight for a year.At first the doc wasnt concerned but did say a year he should of gained an ounce or so.So Landen will be seeing a gastro eurologist at childrens mercy hospital he will also see a dietician i hope thats spelled right .
I had to argue a bit but we finally got a nuro appointment.He goes yearly for a check up and he needs his blood darw and have his levels checked for his siezure medication.I am sure he needs an increase as he has had some break through seizures.Please pray for my Husband ,Pray he gets through the anxiety he is having.

Easter
what a wonderful easter we had...My 2oldest kids were home from college so all 6 of my kids were here and my niece also had dinner with us.Landen loved his easter basket.He loved his hotwheels and bubblesaurus the best.He is not a candy kid so easter bunny only brought M and Ms (his favorite).
We had a easter egg hunt for Landen out in the yard and he had a blast.He was so proud he found all 12 eggs on his own.Although big sister Linda had to tell him to look down to see them.He was so proud he came inside and brought his basket to me and said ook (look).
Dinner was wonderful we ate and visited.Our oldest daughter Hannah stayed until evening time and headed back to her college dorm as she had school the next day.My son William stayed the night and i took him back to his school the following day.I felt so blessed with all my kids and my amzing husband being together on this glorious day.I am kicking myself for not taking pics.
Oh and easter egg coloring..My 12 yr old Rebecca ended up coloring all the eggs.Landen did not feel well saturday evening and went to bed early.Rebecca loved it.Of course she made camo eggs..she loves camo becuse her daddy is a soldier and she is PROUD of him as we all are.

Getting closer!
I am so happy we are closer to our goal.If we keep this up we will have all the money needed to adopt our baby.We are Praying for God to provide .I deposited more money into our account so it is growing.I went to my most favorite store today(hobby lobby).I seen a pattern for counted cross stitch bibs.I found one that says made in America but im going to make it and have it say made in ethiopia.
Life has been a whirlwind with the new job.I really like this job its more part time which means more time with my kids and husband.Landen has been a ham this week he is such a mommas boy.I love this kid so much.I love it when he looks at me with those big brown eyes and wants me to pick him up and cuddle him.
Oh and he learned something..He has learned to take his shoes off on his OWN.Now to get him to learn to put them on himself and on the right feet.Tommorrow i schedule his yearly check up with the nuerologist at the childrens hospital.I am positive he needs his tegretol increased.He has had a couple seizures that should not have happened.They also need to check his levels anyway.
He has come so far from october 2004 when he joined our family.He was not able to feed himself and was very with drawn.He is now outgoing ..feeds himself wonderfully and has just made leaps and bounds in the last 3 yrs.Although he still requires a sip cup becuase he spills and throws.I have been so blessed to be this little mans momma.I realy need to post some new pics of him.As you can see from the one i did post he is very handsome little man.

New Job!
I got a new job.This one is much better and it gives me quality time with my aunt.It will also be great when the baby comes home as my hours are wonderful.I dont sleep much anymore all i think about is our adoption Journey.
I so bad am ready to get moving on this but Michael wants to have all the funds together .Why do i gripe i dont know because we are ALMOST there.I have been keeping plenty busy with an active 8 yr old who is so much fun .He wears me out sometimes but i would not have it anyother way.Landen got spring pics taken today at school .I cant wait to get them i will post them on here as soon as i can.
I guess i am antsy about this adoption because after India(not for impatient people like myself).The wait time is so so hard.I dream about our future child and the joy this child will bring to our lives.All 6 of them are the most amazing children a parent could ever ask for.They are all excited about building our family with a new baby.They have even picked out names lol.ok enough of my ramblings time for me to try and get some sleep.
