Little E's picture on the waiting child website now says "I have a family"!!! All of the kids got excited when I pointed it out to them. Happy day!
There's much to be done, now! We're starting to plan a fundraiser in conjunction with another family, who is adopting from China. It will take place in about a month. I'm hoping to have a silent auction in addition to other fun stuff. If anyone out there would like to donate an item for the auction or has any fun ideas for it, let me know!
