Baby Girl is back :)

HELLO?? Are you guys still out there ??
how cute is she?? She loves to just wake up and put a fancy dress on.
This was my poor baby girl :( she was running a fever and so puny. I just carried her in the sling all day long. It made packing boxes a bit more challenging but hey, I loved it.

My cutie with her new bow :)


Look at this face?? Oh how we love her!!Can you imagine her without a mama? Me either. I cant stand to think about her growing up without a family due to poverty. So many kids need families...so sad.



Can you see her curls? I know not the best shot, but they are getting so long!! I cant believe it , when i wash her hair HOW LONG it is. Crazy :)




~This month on 3/21/10 is "DOWN SYNDROME AWARENESS DAY" I am going to be sharing with you guys some amazing families and beautiful kids that still need mamas.
~I have also picked a beautiful little boy to sponsor and am thinking of ideas to raise some money for his grant fund to make bringing him HOME easier for a prospective family.
If you have any ideas of things /products we could raffle off I WOULD BE SO GRATEFUL!!
~I am going to put his picture and a chip in up later on :)
~I am off to read for a bit while baby girl naps.
ENJOY YOUR BEAUTIFUL SUNDAY !!!!!!!!!!!!

ALEC !!!!!!!!



These beautiful amazing children were headed to an internat (institution) for the INSANE. They would have been bed/crib bound and surrounded with mentally insane adults and children with special needs who have gone insane out of neglect... for the REST OF THEIR SHORT LIVES.


NOT ANYMORE :) :) :) !!!!!!!!! GOD heard our prayers and a family came forward for dennis, alec, and zhenya!!!! Little david is heading to a different lucky family :) Taya is going home to an amazing family with 4 siblings and many pets :) I SO loved this little girl and this just makes me cry , I am so happy for her.


I cant wait to see how these babies flourish and thrive with love of a family.



Thank you to everyone who prayed over them and talked about them to friends and families. You validated their lives. They mean something.

They and all the orphans in this world should not be forgotten. Even if they are locked away behind cold walls of institutions and sad orphanages :(

I will be updating soon, I have been a bad blogger. We just completed moving into our new house and we have been crazy busy. I know you want to see some new pictures of the kiddos ;)
Today I am in pain, my compressed discs are pinched from lifting too many dang boxes :(
ouchy !! Off to next a nap and a muscle relaxer ;0)
