LOOK HOW FAR OUR HELPING HANDS TIMELINE HAS COME!!!
There is A LOT MORE on the door than in the beginning ... which is good ... that shows PROGRESS.
PROGRESS IS GOOD!!
There sure are A LOT of hands on that door now!! And we sure are thrilled about that!
But ... we REALLY want that empty space at the top of the door to be all filled in by the time our boys come home. We can't wait to show them the door and, when they understand, explain to them the significance of
ALL THOSE HANDS!
There are a variety of ways that you can be a "helping hand" in our adoption adventure:
Molly's Locks -for- Love
Molly is getting really close to reaching her goal of being sponsored for at least TWELVE INCHES to be cut from her hair. She is getting pretty excited and she will probably get about 16 - 17 inches of her hair cut ... SO ... PLEASE keep the donations coming!! We have $300 to go to reach the minimum goal but will gladly add to our list those who donate up to the 16 or 17 inch mark. Every dollar up to $100 goes towards another inch of hair!!
Quilt Raffle
Stay tuned for this ... it's gonna be great!!
Church Luncheon / Silent Auction
As you may recall, there are some very nice ladies at church planning a luncheon to benefit our adoption. This will be held on August 23, 2015, beginning at 10:45am (or so) when we will give a presentation/update on our adoption process and the boys we are adopting and it will go until about 1:45pm (or so) to include a Silent Auction with LOTS of fun stuff to bid on.
Here's a sneak peek of some of the great items:
One of my cousins made these GREAT fleece tie blankets!!
Thank-YOU so MUCH, Mary!!
Thank-you, Mary, ... I L-O-V-E my blanket too!!!
She was so AWESOME that she made Molly, Brynn, Jonah and Rees blankets too!!!
Another cousin is making these FANTASTIC stained glass stars!!!
Aren't they wonderful???
Thank-you, thank-you, thank-you, Michael!!
A very talented lady from church makes so many wonderful, crafty items and she has donated several of them for our silent auction. Thank-you so much, Charlotte!!!
Hernandez' Mexican Restaurant Fundraiser
On Monday, September 14, we will be having a fundraiser at Hernandez' Mexican Restaurant. Ticket's must be purchased in advance and are $10 each.
Your 10 tickets gets you two tacos and sides of beans, rice, chips and salsa. (Beverage and Gratuity not included) $4 of every ticket sold will go towards our adoption fund!! Woo-Hoo!!
Please let us know if you would like to purchase a ticket or two ... or three ... or four ...
We're getting closer to bringing home our boys and it is starting to feel a little more REAL!! We are so thankful for all the support and encouragement we have received and we can't wait to one day tell the boys their "adoption story" and how many wonderful people are IN IT!!
P.S. We are currently waiting for FINAL Immigration Approval and we've sent for our China Travel Visas. YAY!! Please keep praying us along, will you??
