- You guys have amazed me with your fantastic ideas for Random Acts of Kindness week! I haven’t done quite as well as most of you, we’ve been housebound since Monday! But when I do finally get out, I’ve got plans people!! BIG plans!
- The camera giveaway is TOMORROW!!! So after 12:00 tonight, no more entries will be accepted. I am so excited, I have it all planned out! I will videotape the whole thing and then download it for everyone to share in the excitement! BUT, since I can’t really trust Isabelle, Sophie or Jude to draw ONE, I’ll have to wait for the reinforcements to come home… sorry! I know, I can’t stand to wait one more minute, either!! Check in for the announcement around 6:00 CST!!!
- Did you happen to see that incredible ChipIn total? UNBELIEVABLE!!! I am in awe of the support we have received. What else can I say? You guys rock! God rocks!!! Everyone of you who took time out of your day to read our story, donate to our fundraiser and lift up a prayer on behalf of our sweet Shepherd… THANK YOU π
- We got a tidbit from China today!! We are LID! Yesssss!! Our official log-in date is 2/3/08, right before Chinese New Year! We’re comin’ as fast as we can, Shepherd!
- Jude’s website is updated!! I know… only 2 months late! π His guestbook expires at the end of the month, so if you’d like to leave a comment for him wishing him a happy birthday, or anything else you’d like to wish for him, we would love it! But please remember to do so before the 24th π

Congratulations on your LID!!! Praise the Lord! And Praise Him for the money too!
