Countdown to Yard Sale!

Still praying for news from Haiti...nothing to report yet.  In the meantime, we've been busy, busy getting donations gathered and preparations made for our next fundraiser:

THIS Saturday we'll be having a yard sale/bake sale (providing a coffee and baked goods breakfast for all those busy yardsalers) at the Daniel Island Red Balloon Community Yard Sale.  We've got some good stuff, so come check it out!
As you can see in the flyer above, it's from 7 am until noon and we will be at 1036 Barfield Street.  Ya'll common out and show us some support!  :-)  Hope to see you Saturday!!!

PS. We are still accepting yard sale item donations, as well as donations of k-cups and baked goods for the breakfast.  We can provide a donation receipt upon request and we're happy to come pick up your donations.  Just let us know...  :-)

Puzzle Update

So as previously promised, here's where we stand with our puzzle:

Current Front View of Puzzle

Current Back View of Puzzle
I particularly love the back view!  This was precisely what we were going for! I can't think of a better way to portray how our adoption journey is taking so many different people helping in different ways to make this work.  I love the back view so much, I almost want to hang it backwards!  :-)

So far we've raised just over $1500 with the puzzle fundraiser.  Our goal for this fundraiser was $5000.  We still have 333 pieces available for purchase, so ya'll keep spreading the word and keep praying!

Other ways you can help:
 - PRAY!  We always need tons of prayer.  Please pray specifically for Catrina, as I know this waiting game is particularly hard for her.
 - Encouragement!  I know it seems strange to ask for this, but it is always such a blessing when people post positive comments on here or send us a text or note to say hi and they are praying for us. 
 - We've had some stuff donated for the yard sale at the end of the month.  If you have items to donate, please do call us!  We will happily come pick ut up!  We're requesting items other than clothes.
- Plan to come to the Daniel Island Community Yard Sale on September 29.
- Purchase an "Adopted" T-shirt to show your love and support, not only to us, but to the entire adoption community.
