Catching Up

Where to begin. So much going on lately. We'll back up to May and start with the garage sale. So many people gave so much of their time, energy, money, garage sale signs, treasures, tables, brownies, cookies, hangers, regaining our stolen garage sale signs, basement and garage space, and more-than-happy-to-help attitudes. Thank you so much to Amy for coordinating this thing for us. Her great vision combined with organization skills (and love for our babies) helped make this so successful. One verse that we really tried to focus on for the garage sale was Deuteronomy 28:12 which says, "The LORD will open the heavens, the storehouse of his bounty, to send rain on your land in season and to bless all the work of your hands." We give God the glory for He truly blessed us that day.







Next, we had our choir trip to Washington D.C. In the midst of all our adoption paperwork, I'll admit that the plans and preparations for the trip were not on the forefront of my mind until about 3 days before. But we had THE BEST time! I honestly can't say what I enjoyed the most...working in the inner city neighborhood or getting to know people that I only knew as a smiling face or touring all those great museums that I haven't seen in years... I hope we get to take another trip like this soon. :)



Following this trip was a night away at Whitestone Inn. Catching up on a little needed R & R before our trip home. More pictures to come soon.
