Archives for June 2009

Just wanted to ask everyone to be praying for our court date tomorrow, the 8th.  Our actual court time will occur in Ethiopia some where in the AM possibly through the early morning lunch time.  Please join us in prayer for this time and that we will find favor before the judge to be baby boy’s dad and mom.  We are super nervous and anxious, but just praying for God’s will.  Our agency will get word anywhere from tomorrow up to 4 days later…it just totally depends on the judge, power outtages in Ethiopia and technology.  We are going to try and keep our little family busy and just wait patiently to get the word.  Thanks everyone for your prayers…We really appreciate it!  Next time you hear from me, God willing, I will be introducing our new son.  YEA!!

These were ordered by my cousin Amanda for her baby girl Nora who is due to arrive early August.  They are 8×24 canvas panels and accompany Nora’s paisley print sheets and lavender bumper and walls.  Amanda is also the one who did both Harper and Hud’s birth videos.  She is simply amazing.  If you are looking for a wonderful baby videographer she’s your woman.  Check out her site here. Thanks so much Amanda for you order.

On a side note, our yard sale is done and we did absolutely fabulous.  Thanks to everyone who donated items, baked goodies and came to shop.  We are so grateful and I have probably 50 something thank you notes to write.  I am back to working on orders, so if you are on the list, I promise I am working on it.  Who knew 2 yard sales could be SO much work.  A HUGE THANK YOU to my mom, dad and Judye who totally busted their butts along with us to make these yard sales SO successful.  Also my brother Chris and sister-in-law Kim for the multitude of baked goods and lemonade stand supplies.  Kim did say, “If we bake it, they will come.”  She was so right.  And to my small group Bible study (Ashley, Alissa, Courtney, Jessica and Karen) and Jonathan and Brea Freeman for all your relentless organizing, pricing, picking up and hauling.  God has truly, truly blessed us and we will make sure we pay it forward.  And lastly our court date is fast approaching on June 8th (that’s next Monday), please continue to pray for this day and that we pass first time through.  I cannot express how eager we are to get baby boy in our arms and home.  Thanks everyone!
