Chili Cook Off & Bake Auction

Eric's sister, Brandy, and her family will be hosting a chili cook off and bake auction for us on November 3rd. This is going to be a FUN event! We still have a few details to iron out but be looking for them sometime next week. So far we will have a band, courtesy of our talented nephew Zack, and a bonfire!! And the food! The food will be sooo good! Because they will be your wonderful creations! ;-)There will be a prize for the best chili so start getting your chili recipes ready. There will also be a prize for the baked good that sells for the most money. This will be a fun night to hang out with your friends while supporting a good cause. We can't wait to see you there!!!

A couple of fundraisers...You'll love them!

Our wonderful friend Teresa Grimes, owner of Across My Heart, is a talented artist who makes mosaic crosses. Teresa has generously offered to host a fundraiser through the month of October for Peter! Check out her facebook page to see her wonderful creations and mention that "It's for Peter!" when ordering. Thank you! Across My Heart We still have shirts for sale!

Some Updates!

We have received our LOA! (Letter of Acceptance) This is the letter from China that says we can officially adopt Peter! We have a bit more paperwork to fill out, along with some waiting then we will receive our travel dates!! We have been told 2 1/2-3 months! Can you believe that? It's really going to happen! We held our garage sale last Thursday and Friday. We raised $4200!! WOW!! It was a great two days. We had so many people helping us. Seventeen kids came and helped us throughout the day. It was so overwhelming at times and we were so happy. The weather was great, the customers were great, the help was awesome, and so much more. We pray that at least one person had a seed planted for adopting or fostering. Thanks to those who came and helped. Our Scentsy party was the a week ago last Thursday. We had such a fun time. We also had our friend Teresa's crosses here along with some other little fundraising ideas. We raised $350 through Scentsy and $96 from crosses! What a great night! A huge thank you to Linna Sutton and Teresa Grimes!
