I'm a married mother of "3 1/2" ;) and the loves of my life are my faith and my family. I've grown in my faith over the last two years since my daughter's adoption, she is the reason why I started this blog in the first place, and I'm so looking forward to watching God move in my heart, and the hearts of others who follow along on our journey towards bringing home one of "the least of these". Special needs adoption is my mission field, whether I'm adopting a child myself, or helping other families get funded, or shouting for waiting children who need families to find them, and I hope you'll come along for the ride and watch what God can accomplish when we say yes to His command to care for the orphan, and go out into the world to be His hands and feet.

Daddy's Corner - Good Friends, Great Ice Cream and 2 Awesome Cows!!!

Hi Natasha, It's Daddy!!!
So as I am sure you know by now, we had a fundraiser for you over at Maggie Moo's ice cream shop earlier in the week.  Wow!!! We had an awesome turnout and were blessed with the opportunity to meet a lot of really loving, caring people.  We even met a few people that can't wait for you to meet their kids and have a play date with you.  Pretty cool, huh?  You're not even home yet and you already have friends.  You're awesome!!!  But then again, who wouldn't want to be friends with a great girl like you?  So, I've got to tell you what your big brother and little brother did at this ice cream event...Dylan made sure that everyone was having a good time.  He was going up to everyone and telling them that he's your big brother, telling them about you and making sure that Jack was being good.  Jack was in love. Yes, your brother would not let Maggie Moo out of his sight all night. Maggie Moo, or as Jack likes to call her...Moosie....was a huge hit with young and old at the event. Heartfelt thanks go out to Amber and Alison who braved the costume and took lots of pictures all in the name of good fun!!!  Now for the really exciting news, baby doll, at this point it looks like we are less than 2 months away (keeping my fingers crossed) from coming to see you for the first time.  Mommy and I are going to bring you lots of presents and we're even going to bring some for your friends over there too...that's just how we roll!!!  We can't wait to see you and shower you with love and kisses and see you smile.  You're forever home is waiting for you....oh, and I really hope you like to play dress up because your mother has got a lot of really cool clothes for you to wear.  I know I kind of bounced around in my letter to you tonight, Natasha.  I'm just full of energy and really getting excited knowing we are so close to seeing you and bringing you home to meet your brothers and all of the really cool people that have been pulling for you each and every day.  I know you are with me Natasha, when I say to those cool people reading this.....THANK YOU!!!  Each and every one of the wonderful people that have shown you love and support, be it monetarily or through prayer or in some other way are like your guardian angels, sweetheart, and we are blessed to have them in your corner.  As I close this out tonight my darling daughter, just keep remembering that when you look at the moon and the stars and are thinking about us, we are looking at the same moon and stars and thinking about you and praying for you with all of our hearts!!!...Oh, before I forget...I really hope you like Elmo from Sesame Street, because your brother Jack won't stop listening to his songs on our phones..lol.  My love to you darling Natasha, and I will talk to you soon.  I love you and sleep well!!! Love, Dad
