HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY

Happy Mother's Day!


We have had a wonderful weekend of preparation/hard work/fun while getting ready for our Ethiopian Adoption Garage Sale Fundraiser. Thank you to everyone that has donated items for us to sell next weekend! We did a lot of organizing, pricing, and logistics so that our 5 a.m. start to next Friday and Saturday will go as smoothly as possible. Our garage is full of items which has been tough on me (being the handy man, workshop type of guy I am.......mmmghmm) to get the lawnmower in and out once a week! HA!



Today for Mother's Day we went to church and then came home and had a picnic, complete with basket and french onion dip in our living room as we are having Kansas winds here in Tennessee and we didn't want to blow away. It was a great lunch. Casey got two bouquets of flowers, one from each of her daughters as well as an afternoon watching the movie "Bella" with her adoring husband while Ella Bean took a nap. By the way, go rent "Bella" it is a great movie and fitting for mother's day etc. Check out the pic of Ella with her mom's flowers.









We ask for continued prayer as we are wrapping up paper work and raising funds to get our baby home soon!

What a sweet pic of Ella! Good luck with the garage sale. Watch out for the hard cores that will be there when the garage door goes up! They're ruthless!
