On April the 25 we had a wonderful turn out at our church.  I think there was around 10 of us.  We worked on personalized stationary, cards, "doggie" necklaces, bracelets, aprons, and travel jewelry holders.  Everyone arrived at 6:00pm and stayed until 9:00pm.  It was great fun.  Hannah and I really enjoyed it.  I do believe it is more fun to work together as a group then by ourselves!  Thanks so much to everyone who helped!  We really appreciated all the work.  It was so neat to see everyone working so hard for a common goal...even the ones who were working on the tedious little doggie necklaces!!! 

That reminds me of a verse found in Colossians, "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men," (3:23).  It has been so neat to see our church family, friends and family come together to help us reach this common goal of bringing our boys home!!  That is what adoption is all about.  This is all about the Lord's calling on our family and everyone coming together to make it a reality!!  Thanks to everyone who have helped to support us financially, spirtually through prayers and helping with fundraisers.  We greatly appreciate it!!

Here are a few pictures from our work night!!  Hope you enjoy!
