Those first several verses are so beautiful. It is hard to see the light, the purpose and the joy while still in mourning, but our Savior shines brightly and only allows us to suffer 'for but a small moment'. <br />Thank you for sharing. I can't wait for part 2 :)Mike and Tia Famhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11874012125046007275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5125062620228335013.post-35325198841808284882011-08-29T22:41:12.444-06:002011-08-29T22:41:12.444-06:00i love him in the robe. so so cute. reminds me of ...i love him in the robe. so so cute. reminds me of reese when he was new. i am very happy for you guys. we can't wait to see (or for drew and kate to see) noah in october... i can't imagine how much he has grown in the last four weeks. baby time is precious.savhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00102361225631273468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5125062620228335013.post-60787632084921563232011-08-29T11:38:42.129-06:002011-08-29T11:38:42.129-06:00I like the idea that you expressed that Noah "...I like the idea that you expressed that Noah "was always meant to be here." I truly believe that there are certain people meant to be in our lives.

I just found your blog and have been reading it for days! I am so very happy for you guys! Noah is beautiful. I know Ryan and his family and I know he will be an amazing daddy! I know I don't know you well but I feel like I know you more and more from reading your blog. You are an amazing spritual woman and I admire the way you have handled all your struggles with beauty and grace! Congratulations again! I am so happy for you both. Noah is a lucky little guy to have you both as parents!<br /><br />KallyHarding Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15561414654051430210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5125062620228335013.post-87255081550949868132011-08-29T07:31:07.854-06:002011-08-29T07:31:07.854-06:00Love him so much!

What a wild/hard...Gosh I am just so happy for you. What a wild/hard/emotional/painful/hope-filled journey it has been for you. I have a friend who has videotaped the births of both of her sons and she said she watched the first one (where she had an epidural) like 100 times but that she still hasn't been able to bring herself to watch the video of the second birth (done natural) yet because she can still remember each pang of pain too vividly. I sort of feel like some adoptions happen the hard way and some happen the (relatively) easy way - both are still actually hard, but some are harder than others. You went through like, a year and a half of labor I guess. <br /><br />P.S. I think I should avoid commenting on blogs before 7:00 a.m. because I don't know whether my comments make any sense. Basically, I'm just super thrilled for you.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10462509372537876654noreply@blogger.com
