Fundraising for The Boys

We have had lots of fun things going on here at our place.  We have had a week of VBS and a week of Wilderness camp.....It is summer after all.....a bit of adventure is always a good thing!

But, having said that...we are in the middle of an adoption and need to get the word out there about our fund raisers to help bring these 2 boys home.

We are selling Just Love Coffee....award winning coffee that helps us out is a good thing.  Check out the sidebar for the link to our coffee store.

We are also a 5/5/5 family this month for Reeces Rainbow.  If you would like to help out 5 families in their adoption...the link is on our sidebar along with the link for our family support page.

But this post is about the scarves that Jess made for us....she donated them to us for our adoption.  Some have sold....exciting to see and I have relisted them individually...all 19!  If you don't see a color you want....let us know.

Each scarf is $25 and that includes shipping.  If you are local....we could meet up and that would save you the $5 shipping.  It is pretty easy....each one has a number.  Leave a comment in the comment section of which ones you are interested in and we will get it out to you.  

Thanks for looking!  God Bless!

Oh My That Was Fast!

Heard today that our Dossier was reviewed and matched!  What normally takes weeks only took one day!

Praising the Lord for this today!

****UPDATE***

We were at camp when these last 2 updates came in....We have Soft LOA!

This Hope

We all went to an amazing concert tonight....we heard THIS HOPE! if you get a chance to go....RUN!

You won't be sorry...enjoy!

Another Step Closer

Today we heard that our dossier is out of translation and in Review. I am sure there is an acronym for this but I have no idea what it is!  Just happy to have the next step in process!

It is being pushed through quite a bit faster and for that we are thankful!

One step closer to our sweet boys!

Post and Beam

Jason has been taking classes at Jesse Remington High School for Post and Beam.

Although it is summer....they are still hard at work finishing projects.

This past weekend, Darrell and Michael were able,to join the team building a bridge on private property.

It was exciting to see the process and the product.

$$ Five Dollars $$

What could you do with $5?

Buy a fancy coffee at a coffee shop?  Rent a couple of movies from Red Box? Buy a soda and a bag of chips?

What if I told you that you could change the life of an orphan somewhere in the world ....help them come home?  Help them be a part of something bigger....family? Community? belonging?

Yes! $5 can do just that!  Especially when we all band together and do this easy, no pain thing....the impact is even greater!

Each month, families are banning together to help bring home 5 orphans....helping 5 orphans come home to their home....home sweet home.  Something they have longed for, dreamt about, wished for...Reeces Rainbow hosts the 5/5/5 program....helping 5 families bring home 5 orphans $5 at a time. Each month ...5 new families get chosen .....each month 5 orphans get closer to coming home!  

Amazing but true!

Sweet deal, huh?

Think of the impact you could have!  Want to join us?  Want to make a difference?  

But guess what?  It gets even BETTER!  For the month of July....WE HAVE BEEN CHOSED AS ONE OF THE 5 FAMILIES FOR JULY!.......and guess what?  This month is a special deal....because any money that is donated helps to bring both of our boys home ....more bang for your buck.

I just can't wait to see them...hold them...bring them home and share our lives with them!  It is exciting to know they will be here soon.

Would you please consider coming alongside US And donating $5 ( or more if you would like) and please consider signing up to do this monthly ....it will make such a difference for so many kids!

Playing a bit of catch up....

It is summer but we have been extra busy and time is just flying by.....

Let's play a bit of catch up!

Dad celebrated a birthday....the gang was all here for a fun dinner and presents!

Father's Day, we stopped by the lake and found lots of fish....and lots of piggy toes got wet checking them out.

Long days of bike riding going on here...Michael and Devon.  Devon is usually heard, "go faster, go faster"!

Kiara is participating in a Jr. Miss Raymond Pageant.  She is working hard.  It is a good thing for her.  She has met quite a few new people and is enjoying her time.

Enjoying the summer so far!
