Big sister helping out, Sand dollars for sale fundraiser

Makenzy our 12 year old daughter wanted to do something to help raise money to bring her little brother home.She thought up something she could do.Years ago the kids went with grandma and papa to the coast and went out early one morning and found hundreds of sand dollars, they brought them all home and grandma bleached them all out. We have a lot of them sitting in a basket. Makenzy thought wow if only we had a real dollar for every sand dollar! and hey why not $10? So Makenzy is selling a genuine Oregon coast sand dollar found on Seaside Oregon's beach along with the  legend of the sand dollar poem printed on nice card stock paper for $10 each plus $2.50 if it needs to be shipped. All proceeds go to help bring her little brother home.(Makenzy told me she had a dream that she was the one that got all the rest of the money we needed to bring Josiah home. lets see if you all can help make her dream come true.) You can pay thru paypal thru the chip in that says" sand dollers 4 my baby brother" please give your name and address if it needs to be shipped. You can also pay thru check or cash. If you need our address please email me at katrina9@clear.net or just post a comment.

two months since the first day we held him

Today it has been two months since we held our baby boy in our arms for the first time.We only got 7 visits with him each under an hour. Can't wait to get back there and hold onto him. Even if we only get one visit next trip it's worth it just to see that smile. The next time we see him he will be ours and we will never have to let him go.

Visa pictures it's wait time

Went and got pictures taken at Walgreens for our visas today, woo hoo exciting huh lol! we got four each because will probably have to get visas for each trip and they ask for two pictures for each visa. just thought we may as well get it all done at once. It was $35 something we didn't remember to add to our total of what we need. That's how it all adds up, not only by things like airline tickets and agency fees but all the little things like visa pictures, postage ect. So that was our excitement for the day as far as the adoption goes.Not much more we can do till we have a date then it will be hurry up time hurry up and book flights, hurry up and get a hotel, hurry up and send in for the visas.Hurry up time is much better then wait time even though it can be stressful at least your doing something.
