This blogging thing, I am not quite sure about. I am having a wonderful time reading other people's blogs, but not great about getting into our blog and our story.

Picking up from where I left off... Our fund-raiser was the weekend after Thanksgiving. It was a Swim-A-Thon! Our children swim on a year-round team. They invited fellow swimmers to get sponsors per lap with the goal of swimming 100 laps. Ten swimmers were able to participate. One of them was adopted herself. She did not even know us, but heard about it and secured her pledges! The final lap count was 1,000 with nearly $10,000.00 raised!!!! God blew us out of the water! David and I were speechless and in awe of our God! December 12, 2008, our dossier was sent to Ethiopia!!!

We have now been waiting for 7 months for our referral for a baby girl up to 18 months old. The wait for a referral is still 9 - 11 months. However, I feel such an urgency to get organized and much accomplished, just like my pregnancies. In the mean time, I will try to become a blogger... It is intimidating, though...
