Please pray for my cousin and his wife. They are expecting their first baby November 6, and have just received word that the baby has a rare heart disease and that there is a 1 in 20 chance of survival. God is good - and we know that He can provide a miracle!

Recently a friend posted some ways that her and her family have saved money over the last couple of years during a tougher time financially. I loved it! There are many ways in which we have also worked to save during the adoption process and our 'financially challenging' time this past year, but also some new ways that I have not considered. Here's some of the ways we currently save:
* I cut Noah, Jonah & Jay's hair - so no salon...
My sweet Noah - also full of energy, full of fun and surprises...
This boy can be so funny about pictures. One day he is absolutely insistent that no one will get a picture of him. The next... well... just keep scrolling:

If you're looking for an easy but different salad recipe, I recently made this salad from the cookbook Simply Delicious. It has a good variety of veggies, looks (and is) very refreshing, and received rave reviews from those that were at the BBQ with us on Tuesday.
2-Bean Salad with Sage-Lemon Dressing
1 lb fresh green beans, trimmed, cut in 1 inch pieces
1 can red kidney beans, rinsed and drained
1 yellow pep...
This is our 3rd year of having a zoo membership - and it continues to be so worth it! My boys love it and so do I. If you have not been to the zoo in Colorado Springs it really is great. It's a very interactive zoo. There are approximately 15 giraffes - and you can feed them crackers. At the reptile house, you can show up in time to feed the animals and prepare their food, or hold...
OK - so most of you know I love numbers. And with some movement on our waitlist for adoption my mind is reeling with numbers. I need to tell my brain to stop - it's starting to hurt!
Throughout the year 2010 there have been approximately 5-7 referral calls each month. Often times people are on more than one list waiting for - 1 girl / 1 boy / siblings - which means each time a call goes out multiple lists move. Of the 16 people in fron...
We interrupt Foto Friday for some other excitement. Since many of you - my friends and family, probably don't see these adoption blogs, I thought I'd tell you about this one family who just received their referral call yesterday for a 6 week old little girl! They are with AGCI and were on both the girls and sibling list - which means our numbers have jus...
An AGCI acquaintance just posted this lady's blog regarding adoption - and God's heart for it. It is incredibly inspiring. She apparently lives in Uganda and has adopted a few children. As a few of those children are teenagers now - there are struggles. Struggles because of age, sure, struggles because of their past - absolutely.

Have you ever look at another person and wish you were a little more like them? Lets be honest. Or view their status and wonder why you have not reach the status that they have reached? If that person of status is a follow of Christ or maybe if they are not, do we recognize that God has given them gifts and talents and do we praise God for using those gifts and talents in such a way that He has or is? Or do we say that this person has done goo...
