So Long, Farewell....

Think the VonTrapps.  ;D

I have decided to make this blog totally private.  I may start a new blog one of these days (a family one) but now I need to concentrate on getting this blog caught up and put into book form and on a CD for Noelle to have, AS well as get Emma's blog caught up, which I will also now take totally private.  Life has gotten too crazy yet again with these blogs and also facebook.  I am talking to the air and don't know why I am doing it.  Yes, there are some who care and some who really want to see photos of my girls, but otherwise I just need to focus back in on my own family and know that everyone else is focusing in on theirs which is how it should be.  I feel very crazed right now.  Having two children is MUCH more work than one - at least right now while Noelle is a baby.   With our family/job situation the way it is, I am worried all the time and honestly feel like I could burst into tears at any given moment.  That is called STRESS.

Noelle is a total doll.  We are so blessed with her.  She is starting to mouth words back to us - I cannot wait until she really starts to talk.  She is so bright, so precocious.  She also is cuter than a bug and her total self does not come across well through photos.  She looks so stoic and usually is not smiling in photos.  She is a tank, a goer, so strong, so active, so cute and so funny! 

We had a great 4th - time is moving SO fast.  I feel the girls are getting away from me.  I want to make sure they have the BEST beginning in life ever and I need to work on the sibling bonding thing which is the most important thing for me - that these girls will be friends for life - they will have each others backs, long after we are gone. 

Hope you all had a great 4th.  We did.  I will take this blog down in a few days.  Some of you who are subscribed will get this message and others will try to get on here one of these days and will wonder where I went?   And they will think that and then just get back to their own family.  ;D

Love and hugs to all of you.  Thanks for sharing our journey to Noelle.  Wayne and I feel so lucky, honored and blessed to have been able to adopt this marvelous little girl (as well as her big sis).
