Thank you again!

Are you wondering who we are? The below link will help to see who we are and how we spend our days. It is our day to day blog/memory book and a way to keep our friends and family who live far away in touch with our family. Thank you again for considering helping us build our family.

About Us

Not always easy to do but we must swallow our pride and have the courage to ask others for help. We are dreaming of adding to our family. The joy of our 1st child and her adoption has been a miracle in our lives. We are dreaming of a sister. We will need to scrimp, save and fundraise to complete our adoption of another child. All the love is there, all the money is not. Would you consider helping make dreams come true?

How did it go

So many people are asking ........ "How did it go"? Sorry it is taking awhile but oh my we are exhausted but with that said we are also thrilled to say......................it was a huge success. The past 3 months of gathering donated items was not exactly easy. It was clean, tag/price, find a place to store, clean, tag/price, find a place to store and repeat and repeat and repeat 1,000 + times. It was pure and utter craziness at times BUT look what happened. We raised a boatload of money and all for soul sister waiting China. So many people helped it was awesome. SOOOO SOOOOO awesome! It brings tears to my eyes to think about how many hands were involved and lets lay it all out there...................WE NEVER COULD HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT ALL OF YOU! Our "dreaming of a sister" fundraising tag sale raised $5,500.00! THANK YOU just does not feel like enough but THANK YOU!
pictures can not possibly show you how much stuff we had but here are a few:

Just thought we would say hello and tell everyone we are busy busy getting ready for the big "dreaming of a sister" fundraiser yard sale.  Our home is full (OK overstuffed really) but how cool is that people have been so generous with donation items.  We are excited for the event (OK tired) and excited.  Thank you everyone.  Come shop or send shoppers you may know.  We will keep you informed on how it goes.  Hope it is a big hit!!
