Working on Silas's nursery and dance practice for the Mother/Daughter banquet...

Busy weekend working on Silas's nursery. Out with the pink and brown stripes and in with the blue paint... We have never had anything blue in our house before and we are sooo excited for this change.

Dance Practice...

My dear friend Jennifer is having a Mother/Daughter banquet in honor of her grandmother on May 9th and the proceeds are going toward travel expenses for our Adoption. I feel so blessed to have such good friends. She is putting so much into this... She is having a guest speaker and she is going to share her story about her struggles with fertility, a christian singer, several raffles (which my good friend Becky is helping Jennifer out on this and she has been very busy getting lots of donations) (Thank You!!!), having it catered with lots of yummy food...(the lady catering it is struggling with fertility and she was very excited to help out and she is donating so much to this event), then we are going to show our video of our Journey to Ethiopia so far...
and share facts and information on adoption and Ethiopia. Then she is going to end by having 16 little girls perform a dance for the farewell.

Fun pictures from this past week...

Happy 8th Birthday Gracie! This week we celebrated Gracie's birthday. She had a skating party at sk8 sport. Several friends and family members came to celebrate her big day. She was so proud that she got her birthday wish. Her wish was to get a baby brother. We got our referral on March 2nd for Silas. Graice says God does answer our prayers! Silas also celebrated his 4 month birthday on the same day.



Swimming lesson started this week. Yay!!! The girls had a really good time. They go two times a week for next five weeks. So hopefully they become good swimmers for this summer. The above picture is Madison (the girl's good little friend), Emma and Gracie.


Thanks for checking in. We hope you have a great weekend. We are praying for a court date real soon! May God Bless you and your family.
