Finding the Perfect Christmas Tree

Seems like every year we are in search for the perfect Christmas tree. We think light might shine down from heaven and the hallelujah chorus sung when we see it(like for the Griswolds). We had a great time searching this year. We were not frozen, in fact, we think it may be the longest time we ever spent at the tree farm! Here's the perfect one for Christmas 2012!!

Orphan Sunday 2012

Yesterday we had the amazing opportunity to be a part of an Orphan Sunday service at our church. Many churches were raising awareness for the needs of orphans around the world on November 4th. We had a prayer wall with 500 pictures of orphans. People took these photos home to pray for them. Last night every picture was removed from the wall and there was enough money raised to feed orphans over 140,000 meals!!! These will be sent to the children in Zambia. We are thanking God for this blessing!

We love the Fall

Slowing down. Really... I wish that we could slow down life right now. We took our family vacation in September and the "peacefulness of the beach" and "having nothing planned for the day" has long gone since we returned home. The children reminded me that we missed apple picking this fall...oops. We did make it to Freemans pumpkin farm for 20 minutes before it started downpouring.:)We are approaching the Thanksgiving season and I want to slow down and enjoy this time. We have so much to be thankful for!

Paperwork, paperwork, and more paperwork!!!

We have been very busy working on our adoption paperwork and logging in our education time. So much time and energy is required to do the hard work. I'm so thankful for a very organized and dedicated husband who has been keeping us moving forward!
