UGLY MUGS

We are rounding the bend on our fundraising to get to Ethiopia and get our daughter. With Christmas just around the corner, what better time to purchase "Noel", the acoustic Christmas cd we are selling as our adoption fundraiser. It's just $10 and that includes shipping! Great for all your holiday gift needs!! ...stocking stuffer, gift exchange, the perfect item for that person who has it all, etc. It is a beautiful cd! We have been playing it in the house and it's really putting us in the Christmas spirit! I love this time of year for so many reasons (but that's a whole other post;))


And for part 2 of this post...Ugly Mugs is the best coffee you've probably never had. Our dear friends own Ugly Mugs Coffee and Tea. They opened about 4 months ago. Ty is playing a show there on Saturday, November 22 from 6-7 pm. Ugly Mugs is donating a portion of their sales for the ENTIRE DAY on Saturday, November 22!! So come out, enjoy some wonderful coffee, great company and live music. http://uglymugsnashville.typepad.com/ (you can read more here)

Thank you so much for your love and support during this amazing ride we are on!!

We are waiting for medicals and then we will be in line for a court date!!

We got more pictures!!

We got 4 new pictures of "M" today. (we can't tell you her name so for now we'll just call her "M") It is so helpful to see more pictures of her. We've only known about her for 2 weeks but any and every update is so precious to us.

Now that we have a name and pictures, all of the prayers, love, finances, time spent hanging out at our garage sales, etc. mean even more to us because now we know exactly who it has all been about!

Thank you so much!!

ps we really wish we could show you her pictures!! She is amazing!!

IT"S A GIRL

On Wednesday we got one of the most exciting phone calls of our lifetime. We got our referral and have already sent back our acceptance paper work for a beautiful, healthy 20 month old baby girl. She is in Ethiopia, Africa. We can not take our eyes off of her pictures (we have 2 of her). Until she is legally ours we can not share pictures with you. We really wish we could but this is to protect her privacy. When we showed Ella her picture, she said, "look Momma, that girl pretty". She has amazing eyes. We can already tell so much about her just by looking into her eyes. Her little nose looks like Ty's and her ears stick out a tiny bit like Casey's.

The next few weeks will consist of us finding out our court date and then we will travel about a month after that. We are hoping this will be early next year.

Also, we wanted to let you know that we have a new fundraiser to help us with the remainder of our adoption expenses. It's an instrumental Christmas CD because it is that time of year! It would make a great gift!! You can get yours by clicking on the yellow "BUY NOW" button on the top right of this page. A portion of the proceeds will go to help with our adoption finances.

Thank you all so much for your support in every way.

Another Big Garage Sale

To all of you locals...we are having another BIG garage sale on Saturday, September 27 starting at 7:00 AM. Feel free to stop by and shop or help us organize. The last sale was great and we couldn't have done it without all of the friends and strangers that helped us oraganize the endless amount of stuff we had to sell. Another way to help would be to donate some baked goods to sale. Please, no pressure! If you are interested in helping pleas e-mail us at caseyrmorgan@hotmail.com
