A new paper trail

This afternoon we had our orientation call for the Bulgaria program. Our caseworker went over the paperwork briefly and gave an overview of the timeline we will be looking at. It all felt like deja vu. This was our third orientation call - yikes. The bigger yikes though is thinking about the dossier packet we will need to start filling out... deep breath. She is assuring us that a dossier for Bulgaria is much less strenuous than the other two countries we've done dossier's for, but I'm sure it will still be a lot. Oh well, if it means my kids come home at the end of all this new paper trail, then it is all good.

Tonight is the last night to order a Thirty-One bag if you were thinking of ordering one. You can click here to make the purchase through Karen Guthmueller. I have been in awe of the response! Looks like I'll be seeing a bunch of friends and family with some sweet lookin' new purses and lunch bags! Thanks for all of your support!!!

Tomorrow Caleb has to have his front two teeth pulled (due to a previous injury that is now getting infected). It is making me a sad mama. But to help him "celebrate" his first two baby teeth missing, I'm going to make him a monster tooth fairy pillow... I'll post about it tomorrow! Now off to get sewing...

In Christ,
Mara

Starting out on our journey today we saw some gigantic billboards. These two were selling Jollibee and the other was selling TUNA... tuna!?!? Our first trip to Jollbee! This is the Philippines favorite fast food restaurant, it is similar to our McDonald's. Their primary food though is chicken, much like KFC. Where do pineapples come from!?! Did you say a tree?? Then you, like myself and Jon, are wrong!!!! These are Pineapple Fields! Pineapples are grown from the ground! When this is ready to pick, the pineapple will be sitting straight up on top of the soil.  Road side stop to see the pineapple fields also allowed us to see t...

Siblings not by choice

Siblings.  Not by blood, not by choice, not by the perfect of circumstances. Siblings. Placed together by the hands of God. Placed together through love. May not get along through many circumstances, but love each other with a love most will never understand.

Four years.

Four years. Four years ago today, our second blessing jumped into our arms for the first time. Four years ago today, these two became brothers and best friends. Four years ago today, all our worlds changed. And yet, how can it have only been four years? Feels like he has been our son from day one. The Lord blessed us ten-fold the day we met you, my son, our Tope. My world is better with you in it.
