New Project

I have took on another project. Yes, I have a full plate but I feel that you can always make a different in a child's life and I love to stay busy. Recently I was accepted to be a board member of the local chapter for Children's Evangelism Fellowship which is a Christian based organization that gets christian after school programs into schools. I feel so strong that a child needs a good foundation for spiritual truths and so many children are unreached and parents don not take the time to take their children to church and this one hour a week is all that some of these children get. I do believe that God has given us all gifts and mine is working with children and their faith as well as helping children in many different ways. Building a religious foundation is the key to helping children come to the Lord. Of course working with all these children makes me want even more children.

We are not even home yet with baby "K" and we are already planning for #3. Yes we are serious we have a name picked out all ready and a plan on how to bring them home.

We are Offically Ready........

I can say with this adoption we are far more prepared. It helps we know how to do it this time and our family and friends have been a great support. I truly believe God, family and friends have made a big impact this time. Our family has been truly blessed God has graced us. Our family has never been stronger in so many aspects I can't tell you over the past 2 years how our faith has grown as a family as well as each of us our growing. With all of that said we are ready. Our paperwork is current we are in the process of sending the final update to USCIS. My best friend Beth has received all her shots and ready to go I am so thrilled she is going with us. We have been friends for many many years and you can't have a more true friend than her and sharing this experience with her is going to be great.

The Baby's room well that is still in progress we have purchased everything ...the Dave Ramsey Plan, but still putting together. Finally, travel and expenses we are prepared we have all the funds saved to finance the the remainder of the adoption in full. This has been our goal from the beginning to be debit free and pay for the adoption. Most of all we have the love to give her and are ready to bring her home.

Secret Pal

I am behind in posting the latest gift that baby "K" has received. Our Secret Pal was Lisa and she sent the neatest gift. They have already gone to China to pick up their precious daughter and therefore will be dropping out of the swap. When they were in China they picked up our gift for the month. The theme was Olympics what better place to buy the gift than China. As you can see the gift was the Olympic Mascots I love them. Our favorite of course is the panda Jingjing. While we are working on her room they are tucked away safely and will be displayed on her dresser at the base of her light. Hopefully, we will finish the room someday!

Date Night

Little "M" had a sleep over with a very dear little girlfriend Sara on Friday night so Steve and I did not schedule anything and decided we would go out on a date. Usually when little "M" is gone one if not both of us is out for the evening so this was a real treat. We went to one of my favorite restaurant Carraba's and of course we talked about the girls the whole time. We had so much fun we have decided that this is the new thing for us. At least once a month dinner and a movie. We have some of the greatest babysitters so why not have some fun.

Thankful Thursday

We are so thankful this week that the doctors have finally found you what is wrong with my dad and have got him on the right medicine. The blessing is he got to get off almost all his other medicines he has been taken for years and all is well. God is good! He has been feeling better with each day and has show good improvements. We all could not be happier. This is a great week for our family.
