Family and Neighbors

This past week Dillon's sisters and their families came to Colorado!  We had a wonderful time visiting and catching up.  The last time we had seen them was Christmas 2011 so there was lots to talk about. We went to City Park Jazz on Sunday and got poured on! (fun memories!)  Dillon had to work, but yesterday the kids and I met them all down at Garden of the gods and had a nice time looking at the beautiful creation around us.   Both of Dillon's precious sisters and mom bought necklaces and coffee to support this adoption and we felt so blessed by their love and support.  

A few nights ago we had a knock on our door and it was one of our neighbors.  We know the people that live right around us pretty well, but there are some families down the street that we have not gotten to know yet.  It was one of these that was standing at our door when Dillon answered it.   We had talked a few weeks ago at our garage sale and told them about adopting a son from Uganda.  This dear couple had decided they wanted to help us financially and gave us a check in support.  Wow!  I was so blown away!  God is moving hearts and I am so thankful!

We have been filling our home study paper work out and are excited to begin the visits with our social worker soon.  We are planning on getting our child abuse clearance finger prints done this Friday.  A special prayer request regarding this would be for my finger prints to show up clearly.  I had to make many trips when we have done fingerprinting for Adeline's paperwork and would like to get it done the first try this time.

Thank you to my dear friend Allie who posted pictures of our family and cleaned up the blog for me!  In every area of life, I am so thankful for community!  Thank you for following our journey and praying with us as we wait for the finances to move forward.
