Dirt and donations ~

This is the "dont you warn me not to eat dirt look"

I will eat whatever I want ! (clearly)

Smiling with joy at being cheeky and eating it anyway !!

Then going in for some more tasty , crunchy driveway dirt !

Baby girl is being naughty. Yes naughty. Everytime we are outside , she has to be watched closely because she will play with ANTS and EAT DIRT. Yes dirt:( I am not talking about your normal toddler "tasting the sand " in the sandbox eating. I mean picking up a small handful and putting it in her mouth to the best of her ability , then licking the rest off her hand ! Then going back for another big handful ..ick ! It is kinda odd considering she hardly eats ANY real food, but dirt ..yum. Any ideas?

Boo comes to her rescue to save her from herself and takes her for a ride on the plasma car :)

your magnets will be on there way soon. I have to get them out of a box , so bear with me ;)

I know we can get to $350 !! You guys are awesome. If everyone who has a heart for orphans, donates just $10....well , that's alot of money LOL!! PLEASE spread the word and remember every little bit DOES HELP :) :)

~Ethiopia has big changes in store. I guess a lot still has to be ironed out, but it looks like they are requiring families to make 2 trips :( this has its ups and downs,, it will be more expensive (flights to Ethiopia ain't cheap :) and leaving your baby/child behind IS VERY HARD. we learned that while adopting Boo from Guatemala. It hurts. But the good, is you will get a chance to spend time with your child that you would have missed out on. And meeting an older child , it will give you some time to get to know them just a bit. I am still unclear on the WHY of it all. Anyone have any ideas?

finding families one child at a time :)

This is sweet Lucy. She is waiting for her forever family in Mexico. They take very good care of the kids there. She has down syndrome :)


MAX & LERA :)

Ok how stinkin cute are these TWINS !!! Oh I want them :) lol. They are 18 months old and developing on target :) They are loving and sweet.
How cute??? They are in Eastern Europe and total costs with travel are under $24,000. Oh these beautiful babies need a mama and a daddy !! They DONOT have down syndrome. But sadly they are both HIV + ok dont turn away. HIV is so treatable now. These babies have a long life ahead of them with treatment HERE in the states. Visit project hopeful.org to learn more about raising kiddos with HIV. They are on the Reeces Rainbow site under "OTHER ANGELS" SIBLINGS :) GO take a peek and donate or pray over them. Hiv makes them special needs, so they need our help:)
HIV ,It is not the scary condition it used to be.




ok, thats it for now. bye:)

Have a great weekend !!

MUST watch for DADS on the fence...(or under it!)

I borrowed this from the Gwens blog , Oatsvall team. I just thought it was so awesome it needed to be shared :)

Gwens blog is ~here :) :)

WHERE'S my mommy??

Look how sweet this baby is!! He is 3 years old and living in an orphanage in Eastern E urope. He has blonde hair and blue eyes. He walks and is very lovable. Yes , has down syndrome. But by looking at him he seems to be very healthy and beautiful :) when he turns 4 he will be on borrowed time, before he is sent to an institution :( (check out my facebook page, for a short video of life in an EE institution)
WE can help him find a family!!!!! Print his picture out and pass it out to EVERYONE you know , at church, at work, in your neighborhood. SOMEWHERE his mommy is right now, hoping to find him. Please donate to his grant fund. Adoption is costly (right?) and if we can make it a bit easier for his family , they will step up !!

~I am going to put a chip in button up too. For everyone who donates $15 , I will send you an adoption magnet !! If you donate $21 I will send you 2 :) :) I have about 20 magnets so lets go !!!
~If you can only donate $5 or $10 PLEASE DO !!!! I will post everyones names to my blog that donate, and GOD AND TIMOTHY , and I will THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!
~ALL the monies go directly to RR , not me :)
please spread the word and link my blog on your blog or facebook. NOT for me ;) FOR THIS SWEET LITTLE BOY, who wants someone to hug him and kiss him and change his world forever.

Baby Girl is back :)

HELLO?? Are you guys still out there ??
how cute is she?? She loves to just wake up and put a fancy dress on.

This was my poor baby girl :( she was running a fever and so puny. I just carried her in the sling all day long. It made packing boxes a bit more challenging but hey, I loved it.

My cutie with her new bow :)

Look at this face?? Oh how we love her!!Can you imagine her without a mama? Me either. I cant stand to think about her growing up without a family due to poverty. So many kids need families...so sad.

Can you see her curls? I know not the best shot, but they are getting so long!! I cant believe it , when i wash her hair HOW LONG it is. Crazy :)

~This month on 3/21/10 is "DOWN SYNDROME AWARENESS DAY" I am going to be sharing with you guys some amazing families and beautiful kids that still need mamas.

~I have also picked a beautiful little boy to sponsor and am thinking of ideas to raise some money for his grant fund to make bringing him HOME easier for a prospective family.

If you have any ideas of things /products we could raffle off I WOULD BE SO GRATEFUL!!

~I am going to put his picture and a chip in up later on :)

~I am off to read for a bit while baby girl naps.

ENJOY YOUR BEAUTIFUL SUNDAY !!!!!!!!!!!!
