Noah, I think you are going to be a great big brother. I have to say that I cannot imagine not having a big brother. It is wonderful to have a brother who is always there to look out for you (except when he was scaring away the boys in high school). It really is great and I know your little brother or sister will love you so much. Being a big brother is an important job, but it sure sounds like you are ready for it!!!

I agree Pamela, I miss seeing Mike's smiling face around the office as well. It isn't often we have men around the office, so it was very refreshing to have Mike a regular at support group. He added so much insight and a new prespective on many things. I have to say that one of my favorite memories of Mike was from Camp Abrazo 04. He truly enjoyed that weekend and we have several pictures from that weekend that capture his big smile as evidence of what a good time he had there. We continue to remember you and feel blessed to have known you.

If we let you get some sleep over the weekend, we wouldn't be doing our job...we have to get you ready for those late night feedings.

It's nice to see you all getting creative at ways to help with your adoption expenses. I know there has previously been a link to Stephen Curtis Chapman's foundation Shaoshannah's Hope, but thought I'd let you know that the family that was recently assisted by this foundation told me that it seems as though there is a common misconception that it is primarily for families adopting Internationally, but that is not the case. She said that in talking with them, it sounds like they are always looking for families to help...so I would encourage y'all to check it out a little more. (I really don't know a lot about it myself, but will try to find out more information about it.) Angela
