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.

Maggie Moo's Fundraiser!!!

Sorry for not posting lately! Life has been insane! So, last night we had our Maggie Moo's fundraiser and it was SO FUN!! We got there around 4:45 and we scooped ice cream until about 9:15! I was a little nervous that I would SUCK at it, but I think I did ok. :)

I was so blessed to have some amazing friends come out and help! Chrissy, Amber, Alison, Brandi...you guys knocked it out of the park and I couldn't be more grateful! Amber and Alison were awesome as Maggie the cow.

And Chrissy and Brandi were SUPER at scooping ice cream!!! I am also SO GRATEFUL to the guy from Best Buy who scooped ice cream with us! I don't even know his name but a lot of people from Best Buy (12!!!) came out to help and we seriously needed it!! This one sweetie came right up to me, and asked "what can I do to help?" and we needed an extra scooper at the time...he scooped ice cream for TWO HOURS! How awesome is that!? There were so many Best Buy employee's...some did simple stuff like wiping tables, or just helping escort Maggie around outside (because she isn't allowed to walk alone due to having like zero visibility)...it all added up to a BIG help! Thank you guys so much!!!

David spent most of the night selling, something he does best, and Dylan did a great job helping to keep up with Jack!




We are so thankful to all our friends who made it a priority to support Natasha. It meant the world to us. We can honestly say that everyone who will play a significant role in her life showed up for her, and that warmed our hearts!


We don't know yet how much money we raised, we will know when they mail the check, but I think we did pretty good, and in any event, we had a blast and met a lot of cool people, included 2 gorgeous girls we hope will become good friends of Natasha, Ms. Jaycee and Ms. Amelia!
