Just a little closer....

  

  
  We are slowly getting a little closer to bringing a child into our home. We have completed about 3/4 of the paperwork for our agency! Now we are down to the harder things like our autobiographies, financial records, and the letter & scrapbook that will be shown to our prospective birth mother. I think if we put our minds to it we can complete these things in the next two weeks. We have also been looking for a Tennessee agency to do our home study, and I think we have found the one we are going to use. So hopefully we will be starting our home study soon too. (Which means more paperwork:)) But I know it will be worth it in the end! 
   As far as fundraisers go, we are nearing our first one. The pancake breakfast and silent auction is about a week and a half away! We are going to end up having around 60 silent auction items! I never dreamed people would have donated this much when I set out to do this. It has been amazing to see! We are really planning for a large number of people to come so I cannot wait to see how it all turns out :) We have stopped accepting donations for our yard sale because our garage and storage building are at full capacity! We are a little overwhelmed by all the pricing that has to be done too. But we have some great friends who are willing to help us with this once the breakfast has passed.  Hope to see you all on July 6th at the breakfast and August 3rd at the yard sale!!

Pancake Breakfast and Silent Auction July 6th
