Friends

A faithful friend is a sturdy shelter;
he who finds one finds a treasure.
Faithful friends are beyond price:
No amount can balance their worth - Sirach 6:14 and 15

First I must ask for prayers for my friend Lisa. She is going through what may be the most trying time of her life so far. God bless her with peace!

We had our 2nd annual photo shoot with Santa at Discover Mills. We had lunch and bade Donna farewell to head off to China for Faith! She leaves in 10 days! Hooray! Lucy is shortly behind her and hopes to leave before 2009. Wow, soon it will be our turn for Grace. If you want to see Grace's photo, send me a comment or e-mail and I'll send you her pics.

Frannie and I leave on Wednesday for St. Augustine while Kevin will spend Thanksgiving in Mississippi with his SEC buddies. Grrrrrrr.

Good News/Bad News

We got our Pre-Approval this week!

Our adoption agency went under and locked its doors!

What?!#

Yep, actually it's not as bad as it sounds, we can transfer agencies, but we need more information. I'll post more when we know more.

 

Just some more fun photos from the last few weeks. Thank God for good friends.

Frannie is heading to the mountains

We leave tomorrow after school for my cousin's cabin in North Carolina for a girls' weekend. Kevin and I have been there a few times before and it's always such a treat. We are meeting my girlfriends from Spokane, which is an even bigger treat. We have not all been together since Angie's wedding almost 6 years ago? From L to R, Ellen, Jennie, Angie and Lynne. This photo was taken in Chicago about 10 years ago on St. Patrick's Day. How fun to spend time with such close, good friends and get caught up on life and laugh a lot. Can't wait!

Frannie's Birthday Party

Happy Halloween

What fun they had!
