Moving forward.

Oh my poor neglected blog:(  We're still here, we had our fingerprint appt. for immigration on Oct. 17th and it went incredibly smooth.  We were in and out in less than 30 minutes, so now we're just waiting for our golden ticket!  Slowly but surely we are moving steadily forward!  Please keep us in your prayers:)

We are also in the middle of construction on our kitchen.  Remember all that wood I showed you?  Well it is going up as I type this.  Here is just a little sneak peak.  I feel incredibly blessed to be given this gift in the midst of our adoption.  Even though the house is in a bit of chaos it has literally kept me sane as it has kept my mind off of how long it is taking to bring Sergey home.


Also in the midst of all this lovely, beautiful chaos we have been loving the change in the season and have been making some yummy treats!







I had a lot of fun baking with my girls, Prestin is not in the pic because he would rather eat them than make them:)

Isaac's sweet Mama, Jaime, is guest posting today over on Natalie's blog.  Every time I speak with Jaime it's like I'm listening to poetry and her writing is no different.  So go read her story today I know you will be encouraged.

So run on over to Chrissie's blog and donate to Davis' fund,  any amount will get you entered into the drawing!

And if all that loot doesn't entice you to donate then head on over to Natalie's blog where Amy is sharing her heart in a guest post.  Seriously beautiful stuff people!

Feeling blessed.

I'd like to introduce you to my new friend Natalie and her family.

This lady has a beautiful heart for the Lord and for her family, and wants to use her blog for a greater purpose...to serve others. Love, love, love this lady's heart!  October is Down Syndrome Awareness month, so for the whole month she will be doing posts answering any questions you may have regarding Down syndrome.  She is also giving away a beautiful handmade hair accessory of your choice with a $25.00 donation on her blog.



So pretty!  All the proceeds will go to help get these three boys home to their mama's who are aching to hold them.
Sergey for us, Davis for the Jupin family and Isaac for the Kelley family.  So go visit Natalie's blog to see and learn about the beauty and blessing of Down syndrome and if you feel led please consider donating.  It would mean so much to me.  Thank you Natalie for being such a wonderful example of Christ's love by serving in such a selfless way.  We are so humbled by your compassion and willingness to go out of your way for complete strangers.  Many blessings to you:)

Starting on the next project for the kitchen, can't wait to show you!  The best part of this project is that we were given all these materials for FREE!!!  I feel truly blessed and am so thankful for the generosity of good friends.
