Halloween....not sure who had more fun!! Tamzyn quickly figured out that you hold out your bag, and folk put candy in it!! Of course, having three older siblings to show you the ropes helps!!

In October we baptized Tamzyn, while Daddy was home from deployment.  She 'loved' her dress, and looked so beautiful! She has grown so much already....in personality, beauty, and spirit!

October 12/13th
As items so generously continued to arrive at our home for our 'fundraising garage sale'....we decided to have a second garage sale! We had two busy days, and the children also helped with lemonade and muffins again.....and we raised $1150!! It is just so heartwarming to meet other adoptive families, who can relate, and to see complete strangers decide 'not' to take their change, and instead donate it to our funds for the adoptions! I shed many tears over strangers' kind words of support, and their generosity! Again, this sale wouldn't have been such a success without the generosity of friends donating time and items to our sale! Such a blessing, and we simply cannot thank you enough!!
Some friends from afar, who couldn't attend our sale, sent donations for our fund to our Agency.
So many people, in so many ways, have reached out to help us.......have touched our hearts and the lives of our two children waiting in China. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
