Our girls are between the ages of 10 to 12yrs old. The oldest is deaf and mute since birth. Will and I were so excited when we got their file, what a blessing! We were so sure that Gracie would be our last child, only God knows what wonderful blessings He has in store for us. Not quite sure what a house with three teenage daughters will be like, I am sure it will be quite the adventure. Fortunately they have two brothers (for now, you never know!) to keep an eye on them.
I mentioned in another post that we were hosting a "Pig Pickin and Oyster Roast" and I wanted to fill you all in on how that went. Even though BJ (Will) and I had no idea what we were doing it turned out to be a huge success and all the credit goes to Mike (Uncle Mike to us,) my sister and her fiance Robert, my Dad and Deb. We raised $2,000 and everyone really enjoyed the evening. Thank you to everyone who helped, thank you Mike and Deb from dreaming that up and thank you to my family for driving up at the crack of dawn to make it all possible. We are truly blessed to receive so much love and support. For those of you who are into the Pig Pickin sort of thing; my sister is planning a fish fry for us on April 23rd in Charleston. So, all of our friends back home please help us get the word and come by so we can catch up (not to name any names; Jenny, Mindy and Jill.) I am currently in the middle of another big fundraising idea, I am waiting and praying, trying to make sure this was the Big Man's idea and not my own. My ideas never fare as well as His, crazy that way. So, please pray that He gives us wisdom and direction and that immigration is crazy fast!
Thank you for your comments, I loved hearing from you guys.
The girls are absolutely beautiful! I am so happy and excited for your family Jennie! I know that your family will be blessed beyond measure and the girls are also being blessed to be enveloped into such a wonderful family!

praying for you all.
ReplyDeleteJen,
ReplyDeleteThe large woman's slim fit adoption shirt I got from you is too small for me so Chealsea has taken it!! She loves it; it is stylish and the design, colors and "MESSAGE" are cool enough for even the most picky teenage daughter. I would like one in XLarge when you order more. Also Mom needs an XLarge regular woman's tshirt when you order. I'll keep selling them here in Charleston; I'll wear mine to work as advertisment! My new nieces are beautiful and their picture is hanging on our fridge. I'm using it to teach Cooper of her new cousins! May God Bless You All. 143
They are so beautiful! Can't wait to see you guys in a couple of weeks! We are keeping you all in our prayers! Sending lots of hugs to you all!
