Desert First Today!

Pictures of our soon to be daughter.  Plus the best for last my little doll baby Piper.  My how we are blessed.

I sent out a mass email the other day and remembered that I never posted on my blog.  So much has happened in our house over the past year but we are most thankful for the smooth transition both Piper and Atanas have made.  Piper is signing now and knows about ten to fifteen signs and can sometimes put them together.  So proud of her!   Atanas my boy is as smart as a whip!  love love them both.  The other boys are doing well and enjoying swimming in the lake and playing base ball.  Summer is slipping away from fast here in Minnesota. 

We need your help to bring this little girl home.  Without going into to much detail.  We lost her referral due to circumstances beyond our control but with Gods help we are being allowed to submit our paperwork for her again and we will not loose this little girl a second time.  Please consider joining us along this journey.

We need help with the following. 

I am making tag blankets to bring with for the children left behind and if you would like to donate one that I make to a specific child please leave me a comment post here and for a donation of 25 dollars I will make the tag blanket and hand Carry it with when we go. 

You can use the Go Fund me button on the side bar!

Second we are going to have a DS photo contest.  Get your DS child dressed up and send me your photo at MDINN38613@aol.com  and all it will take is a 20 dollar donation and then I will bring them to our photo shop in town and let them Judge.  The Winner will win a hand made hugs and kisses quilt that I made.  I will post a pic later. 

last but not least if you share this blog with anyone you can be entered into a drawing for a second quilt which is an I spy quilt.  Let me know by leaving a comment that you shared and your info and you will be entered. 

Hope you will help!  Little Olivia needs to come home.  I decided to post updated photos of her as the only one I did have was her baby photo.  Hope you enjoy!
