A Birthday Party for Noah!

Today, Emma and i went to Noah's second birthday party/family day celebration. I met Noah's mom, Valorie while she was waiting for Noah and i was waiting for Emma. It was so nice to have a friend nearby who knew how i felt! I was finally able to meet Valorie's husband and her extended family. It was so much fun to visit with other families and to see other children who have settled in with their families. Noah came home last year on August the 2; on August the 1st last year (which was also his birthday!) it was the Embassy Appointment Day-so there was much to celebrate!

Noah has grown so very much since the last time we visited together. He's all boy, running, jumping, driving his little car, playing with his pets. His life is so filled with extended family that love him....the grandmas were loving on him today as were aunts and uncles. Too wonderful to see all the love for this little boy!

Emma had a wonderful time....mainly because there was a kiddie pool and a swing. That's all my girl needs for a good time! She wasn't interested in cake or ice cream, just running and swinging and playing in the pool. I tried to get a photo of Emma and Noah, but they kept running away, lol, so i finally gave up.

It was a wonderful day, a wonderful party!

And here's a photo of my little one on the swing~
