7 Quick Takes Friday





~1~

This week has been pretty good! We wrapped up our American Girl giveaway, received news that we are USCIS approved, and started our online auction! Things are moving along smoothly, and I can't wait to see what God has planned for this adoption. He is working!

I finally caught up with the last season of Parenthood last night. Wow. What an excellent series finale! If you have never watched this show, I wholeheartedly recommend it.

I am collecting all of the clothing for our clothing drive and it's quickly taking over our garage! Which, is a huge blessing, of course, but WOW! Check this out...

A few of our kids have been sick this week as usual. But I'm happy to report that everyone seems to feel much better now.

One awful thing about fundraising is that you feel guilty for making even normal purchases. I needed to buy a dress for our fundraiser next month, and it was agonizing to click the order button. And, I couldn't bring myself to buy shoes to go with it. Another day. Another coupon.

Please check out our current fundraisers tab often to see what wonderful goodies we have to offer that benefit our adoption fund!

Thank you for all the support so far! <3 Your prayers and donations and shares mean everything to us and we truly could not do it without you.
