Blown-away!

We have been blown away! We can't believe the generosity of those around us. We serve an amazing God. We can't express our gratitude enough to everyone. Thank you.

God is meeting our needs completely. To even type that makes me pause. Really. All of our needs. Think about some of the depth of our needs. We are bringing three kids home. We needed bunk beds, (we were given one). We needed clothes, (we were given bags and bags of clothes.) We needed basic items like toothbrushes, towels, etc. (we have been given them as well.) He is providing for every dollar that we need financially, (so for we have spent $44,000).

People have given to us so sacrificially this year. We are speachless. Some have even given up their Christmas presents this year.

Yesterday, our church family threw Heather a baby shower. Wow. The presents completely filled the back of the car and I think that I have counted over $600 in gift cards alone!

We can't wait until we can show our children how many people have had a part of bringing them here. We are so blessed. For all of those that have been a part of this process with us we want you to say thank you. Thank you for your prayers, for your gifts, for your time. This adoption can not be done alone.

We are leaving in one week from tomorrow! We are getting super excited. There is a ton of packing to do and a ton of cleaning. However, today the kids are off to Christmas in the Park with Grandma. So, we are going to take a few hours and have a little lunch date (it will be the last one in a looonnnnggggg time) We are then going van shopping. We are in the market for a larger car:)
