Thank you for being a special part of Ellery's life!!!

Since our last post we received our LOA, that means we are done with the longest stretch of the wait and hope to travel in December (before Christmas hopefully). We have been so busy preparing for Ellery and having Fundraisers. Johns good friend B. Klick and his family donated 100.00, we are so grateful for yet another 100 dollar donation.

We had a Matilda Jane clothing fundraiser and a Salsarita's fundraiser. We don't know yet what the proceeds are from those events. Thanks to them for allowing us to fundraise in creative ways.

Yay! we reached over $3000.00 for Ellery's adoption! Just about 250 pieces left. Honestly I didn't know if we would be able to sell all the pieces. I have total hope that now we will. How special for Ellery to be able to look at her puzzle someday and see all the names of the people who lovingly donated to her adoption.


Thank you to Mr. and Mrs. Brace for their sweet donation to Ellery's adoption, the parents of our good friend Papa Aaron.

Thank you Jim and Carol for your generous gift to Ellery's adoption. We look forward to meeting you in September!

We are almost to the $3000.00 mark, I am so happy about that. Today I am going to try very hard to work on that puzzle so we can see all those pieces put together. Just wish the puzzle wasn't so hard. ;0)

Once in a while you find that special friend who you know will be a part of your life forever. I met Lynne a few years ago but we became close buds when we started doing a Bible Study together and then started working our together at our church gym this past year. We have grown very close to their family and they are quite possibly the only family brave enough to host our crew for dinner or take us on a boat ride. Thank you so much Lynne and Family for you donation to Ellery's orphanage, so generous and I know given in love!

Thank you to N. Cupps, my sweet, sweet co-worker and her husband for donating very generously to Ellery's orphanage. You guys have the biggest most generous hearts, how can we ever say thank you enough???

This week I am going to try and find time to actually write on the pieces of the puzzle and start once again to try and put it together.

We still have a lot of pieces to go, help us help them.

A special thanks to my special adoption friend Sharon. Another selfless family working hard to bring home their third blessing from China, John Wesley. And yet she donated to Miss Ellery's adoption.
