what a week

Y’all.

Y’all. I have had the most amazing week. Packed full with activity, updates, encouragement (thanks to everyone who has written us a note of support!) and stuffing envelopes.

Huh? Envelope stuffing doesn’t sound great?

Well, in this case it is.

I’ve been packing up your So Loved tees. And I am loving every minute of it. Each tee represents a gift from someone, a sacrifice made to help bring our precious girls home. And for each and every gift I am so, so grateful.

I’ve included a little note with each tee, just to say thanks. And truly, how much your support means to us. How much it means to all of us. My kids are in awe, knowing that so many out there are sacrificing to help us bring their baby sisters home. Y’all are such a blessing in so many ways.

And, I just love this shirt. And I hope y’all are going to love yours, too.

A perfect reminder of how much He loves you. How much He loves me.

How much He loves Poppy and Esther.

I’m headed to the Post Office this morning with my first batch of tees. About 60 of them. The guy at the PO is gonna love me, right?

To everyone who has asked for an email confirmation that your tee is on the way, you should receive it this afternoon, if your tee was in this first batch. I’ll most definitely be packing more up over the weekend.


In other news, other news, we received an update from our agency on donations received through this morning.

Y’all.

Y’all. I am seriously blown away.

Over ONE THIRD of the way to that crazy big, make-me-sweat-for-sayin’-it-out-loud goal.

You guys are amazing.

God is amazing.

    Stefanie, how do the shirts run? Fitted or regular cut…do they run on the smaller side? I typically wear an XL

      The shirt is available in S – XL in fitted and L and XL (but we have run out of XL!) in the classic.
      Sizing chart and more info is on this page: http://www.solovedinchina.com/the-shirt/
      After you review the sizing info, if you have any other questions, just ask! Happy to help ๐Ÿ™‚
