Our family spent the entire weekend at the ball park...not playing, but working! Shelly and Bruce Francis, another couple from our school and church who are adopting, coordinate the local ball park's concession stand. They offered to let us work one of the stands as a fund raising opportunity, and we jumped at the chance! The kids love hanging out at the park, seeing their friends, and eating snickers! Thank you to Bruce and Shelly for thinking of us!
We have two other fund raisers coming up the weekend of May 2. Our small group from church came up with the idea of a garage sale, and they--along with other friends--have donated some great furniture, appliances, and accessories. Sylvie is planning on adding a lemonade/cookie stand to go with it! That same night (May 2) we are hosting a Parents' Night Out at the church for kids in K-5th grade. These are the last major fundraisers that we have planned, and we pray that God will multiply our efforts. So many people have helped us on this journey to bring Asher home. We stand in awe of what the Lord is doing! If you get the chance, come on over to the garage sale or the Parents' Night Out. We'd love to see you!
Amen sister .... make the funds fall from the sky!! call me so we can get caught up ...
