Amazing

Wow. I’ve heard from several of you guys who said that you’ve been stopping by often to watch the ChipIn total climb and I have to admit, I have too!! It’s AMAZING to see God at work through the adoption community… I love it! And to everyone who has given to support this effort to bring Cole home to his precious family, thank you. Not gonna say much more on that, ‘cuz then I’m gonna start to cry. If you could hear the joy in my sister’s voice as she describes her feelings about this outpouring of support… okay, ‘nuf said, I’m gettin’ misty.

Speaking of making me cry, a SECOND necklace has been donated to our giveaway by a ‘someone’ who has chosen to remain anonymous. Yeeeehawwww!!! I don’t really ever say that in real life, but it’s what seems to come out when I think of being able to draw a third name for the giveaway… someone else will be able to have a stunning Suzanne Myers ‘Name Charm’ necklace!! So there will be three winners on the 23rd…. THREEEEEEEEEEE!! Thank you to that special someone!!! You’re wonderful ๐Ÿ™‚

I will be updating the original post to reflect the changes and then I’ll put that post at the top again, so anyone coming to visit will be able to find the giveaway more easily. I’ll still be posting, but I’ll be putting those posts under the top post… so if you’re interested in seeing what’s goin’ on, keep scrollin’ on down…

    Hey. I just logged on and saw Zach’s face peeking out at me. That’s the first time that I’ve gotten to see his picture. So sweet! He still has that sweet little smile…still looks so much like you, Stef…I love his glasses. We are missing him around here. Tell him that. And PS, so happy about the Chip In Total so far…yay! God is good! All the time. But ESPECIALLY today!

    Love you!

    Stef, I’m so glad to see you doing this for your sister!!! She is truly blessed to have you as a sister, but quite honestly I think we all are blessed to have you in our lives, you are an inspiration to many of us.

    p.s. dont you love Suzanne! She was kind enough to donate a necklace to the CCAI reunion for the silent auction last year, when I told her I’d be sending a few ‘adoption mommas’ her way I bet she never knew it would get this BIG!
