Adoption Benefit




June 13, 2010

Our women's group at church put on a wonderful benefit to help pay for our trips to get Kiera. It was a tea and silent auction. There were so many great items to bid on and a lot of people came. Joel and I are overwelmed by the support and prayers we have received from our church family. God's love shines through these people. Through the generosity of all of you, we have enough to pay for the first trip whenever they tell us we can go. We will keep you updated when we know more.

Thanks again everyone. God Bless!

Updated Pictures



We just got back from a great relaxing vacation with friends up north and there is an email from our agency with updated pictures of Kiera.   



Looking at her still brings tears of joy to my eyes. I love her so much already, just from 5 pictures and a few medical details. I know it just does not seem possible. I guess this is what it is like to be pregnant.  


But I have better ultrasound pictures :)
