Loose teeth, "Graduation", and an Auction!

No, no word yet on our Little C. Still waiting. :(

BUT - Here is the excitement around our house lately...

1. Caleb has his very first wiggly loose tooth. He is beside himself! He can't stop talking about it, looking at it in the mirror, and/or wiggling it. Very exciting stuff, let me tell you!

2. Caleb had his Preschool "graduation" program today. They sang a ton of songs, poems, and even showed us some artwork. I smiled the whole time as a proud Mama.

3. We are starting a new fundraiser on Sunday! A bunch of our family and friends have donated items for an on-line auction. All of the proceeds will go towards travel expenses to, in, and from the Philippines. Check it out now and start perusing the items! More will be added in the next couple days!!! Feel free to spread the word to all of your friends! Thanks sooooo much to those who have donated items and thank you to those who will be bidding. We are really excited to get this started! https://www.facebook.com/BringHomeLittleC

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!

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.
