We have some exciting news! Today we got a letter from one of the grant's we applied for over the summer. The organization (Show Hope, showhope.org) awarded us $6,000.00 toward our adoption!! This puts us more than halfway to our goal! We are still waiting to hear from 4 other grant agencies. Our application for one of them is going before their board on September 5th. Would you pray with us that they would finish off our need of just over $5,000?
    This has been a busy month for our family! We are looking forward to settling into a routine this fall. We are keeping busy finishing up projects around the house that will be harder to get to once our little one comes home.  It feels a bit like the nesting stage of pregnancy, cleaning and trying to make sure everything is ready! Luke and Eli are ready for our baby to come home and talk about the baby a lot these days. We are all anxiously anticipating the call for us to head to the hospital to meet our sweet baby or to tell us that we have been matched!
     We have had some Anonymous donors give to our fund over the past few months and we just want to say a very heartfelt THANK YOU!!! Your support of our family and generosity is so encouraging to us.
    We really appreciate each one of you who have given financially, prayed for and served our family while we are preparing for our newest addition! This process has felt fast and furious up to this point and now we wait.
