This is my sweet family. I love this picture even though it's not the 'best' of everyone. It's certainly a LOT characteristic of each of us.
Sunday was Orphan Sunday and also the day we chose to have the two precious girls dedicated to the Lord in front of the congregation...and our family. It was a sweet experience. It couldn't have been better, well--maybe if Charleigh weren't hungry right in the middle of it...but otherwise, it was fantastic!
Rod, our Pastor, prayed for each of them individually and our family. They both did well, with only a few squwaks from Charleigh and me dropping her binky (twice).
I don't have any more pics of all 5 of us except for these few...I cherish them!
The neatest thing in the world happened after Rod prayed for the girls. He presented us with a gift, a large gift! The Church had gotten together and have begun an Adoption Fund for future adoptions, and the first people to use it is our family. We have been beyond blessed in this journey and this is the icing on the cake. We will have little to no expense out of our pocket for our adoption now. I mean really?! God is awesome. Now there are so many people on this journey with us and that is how I like things...I enjoy people and Love...and we have an abundance! Thank you EVERYONE who is a part of this!
