Thankful List for September
*Donations for our online auction!
*Straight donations in the last month amounting to $1,775
*sooo many t-shirt orders
* a new cabinet to house all the t-shirts
*Krista, Kristin, Kelli, and Whitney who gave up a lot of their Saturday to help trace and cut appliqués for t-shirts
*Students: Melissa, Kasi, and Ashley and their continuous help with our kids and offers to trace/cut things
*Susanna Burford coming to spend a weekend sewing with me…what a sweet friend and generous gift
*our revised homestudy coming back!
*putting our revised homestudy in the mail with our I-600 form once again
*overwhelming support and encouragement after we posted our news that we have a little girl in Africa
*the amazing comfort that we find in knowing that people are praying with and for us
*that Tuck always wants to pray for his baby sister in Africa (and specifically that “she has food in her tummy”)
*September was the biggest painting party yet, made a little over $650 (and Kristin and Kelli’s yummy treats)!!
*Mailed 12 shirts to Singapore
*signing up for a FREE adoption conference
And a few random things that have nothing to do with adoption:
*Ben packs my lunches on Mondays and Fridays when I work
*the way Libby says “tickle, tickle” when she tickles people
*listening to students talk about their missions experiences
*Tylenol works super fast on fevers
*incredible late night conversation with Tucker about the gospel
*cinnamon pretzels from Sam’s (and that they are so cheap)
*real mail from Dianna in Africa
*a great visit with Ben’s parents who overwhelmed us with their generosity of time and resources and all of their help with the
kids
*possibly some of the sweetest and most convicting words I’ve heard from my (now) 5 year old “Mommy, I got to spend A
LOT of time with you today!”
*celebrating 5 years with our sweet boy
*Wal-Mart has new grocery carts and I got to shop without kids… it really is the simple things in life
