Living Vicariously Through Friends

I have some exciting news to share with you . One of my friends recently left for Chance and Callie's country for the pick up trip for her son. My friend's son happened to be in the same orphanage as Chance, so she was able to share some beautiful pictures with me. Let me just tell you that he has THE BEST smile, he's got a mouth full of teeth now and appears to be happy and doing very well. The news gets even better though!

A few days later, my friend got to go with some of the orphanage workers to a therapy session where there were children from a different orphanage. One of those children happened to be Callie! My friend did know that she would see her ahead of time, and the orphanage staff are aware that there is a family pursuing both Chance and Callie, so guess what?!? They brought Chance along as well! Did you hear me??? OUR CHILDREN HAVE MET! And we have pictures! These pictures are priceless, Callie was so sweet to little Chance. I wish I could share them.  Of course the children have no idea that they will be brother and sister, because things could fall through at any time.

Seeing the pictures of these children together makes me long to be there with them. We are still waiting on Prime Minister approval. Once we get that, we will be invited to visit the children. I will be making that trip alone for both logistical and financial reasons.  It is still my hope to travel for the first trip this year, that may or may not happen.

Please keep us in your prayers.

I wanted to share with you a new fundraiser we have going on.  My talented cousin, Claudia painted two trees to fill with heart shaped leaves.  Each tree will hold approx. 50 leaves.  For each $5 donation we receive for the trees, the donor's name will be placed on a tree.  The donor will be able to designate which tree to put their name on.  One name per leaf.  Once the trees are filled up, the pictures will be put in the children's rooms and they will have a wall full of people who already love them.  Below are the trees, both bare and with some leaves to show you what they will look like (minus the names) when they are finished.  Donations can be made here: Reece's Rainbow FSP please leave a comment that you donated, the name you want on your leaf and which tree you would like it to go on.

I also wanted to point out that I am still selling Celebrating Home.  For the remainder of October all of our candles are on sale as well as some of our lovely fall decor.  Please check it out through this link HERE, and share it with your friends.  This link will only be active until the end of the month: CELEBRATING HOME  Also, you can LIKE my Celebrating Home FaceBook page to see the newest deals: FaceBook Page
